TR19 Kitchen Extraction
Cleaning in Preston

Keeping Preston commercial kitchens legally compliant, insured, and fire-safe. BESCA-certified technicians covering Preston and central Lancashire, with certificate issued promptly.

Legal Requirement in Preston

The Fire Safety Reform Act 2005 places legal liability directly on you as the building owner or manager, regardless of size or business type.

Fire Risk is Real

Grease buildup in extraction systems is the leading cause of commercial kitchen fires. Preston businesses are not exempt from these risks.

Your Insurance May Be Void

Your insurer requires TR19-standard cleaning as proof of best practice. Without it, a fire claim could be rejected outright.

TR19 Cleaning in Preston: What You Need to Know

TR19 is the UK standard for commercial kitchen extraction cleaning, produced by BESA. It defines exactly how canopies, ductwork, filters, and fans must be cleaned to be legally and insurer-compliant.

Preston is a major Lancashire city with a busy hospitality sector spanning city-centre restaurants, pubs, hotels, and a growing food and drink scene. Every commercial kitchen operator, from a city pub to a hotel catering team, shares the same legal obligation: extraction systems must be cleaned to TR19 standard by a BESCA VHR accredited contractor.

If your extraction system in Preston hasn't been cleaned to TR19 standard, you may be in breach of fire safety law right now, and your insurance policy may be invalid.

200µm

Maximum grease deposit permitted under TR19. We measure and document on every job, and your certificate shows proof.

#1

Extraction grease is the leading cause of commercial kitchen fires in the UK, including in Preston and central Lancashire.

12 months

Recommended maximum cleaning interval. High-use Preston kitchens may need cleaning every 3–6 months.

Everything Included: Nothing Left Uncleaned

Our full TR19 clean covers every component of your system. Partial cleaning won't meet compliance, and it won't satisfy your insurer.

Canopy & Hood Clean

Full degreasing of the kitchen canopy and hood, the first point of grease capture in your system.

Ductwork Degreasing

Full internal duct clean from canopy to discharge, where the most dangerous grease accumulates.

Filter Cleaning

Grease filters removed, chemically cleaned and reinstalled, or replaced if beyond service life.

Fan & Motor Clean

Extract fan and motor thoroughly cleaned to maintain efficiency and eliminate fire risk at the terminal.

Grease Micron Readings

We measure deposits across the entire system. TR19 requires readings below 200µm, and every reading is recorded.

TR19 Compliance Certificate

Full written report and certificate issued on completion. Show your insurer or fire inspector with confidence.
