TR19 Guidelines for Commercial Kitchen Duct Cleaning in London

The TR19 standards, published by the Building & Engineering Services Association (BESA), denote the critical guidelines for cleaning and maintaining ventilation systems as a pivotal part of building engineering in London.

Extractor systems used in commercial kitchens are at the forefront of the principles of fire safety management and maintaining air quality. Through the TR19® Grease guidelines, BESA has set out some clear and measurable benchmarks for commercial kitchens to maintain safe and comfortable indoor environments. And the ductwork is a vital component that is prone to special cleaning and upgrading parameters.

As a leading provider of commercial kitchen duct cleaning services in London for TR19 compliance, we at IVS take the onus to help commercial kitchen owners and food businesses to stay compliant and understand the regulations for specific industrial applications. This article is presented for general awareness about the TR19 regulatory standards for commercial kitchens and to help our existing and potential clients brush up on their knowledge.

Importance of Commercial Kitchen Duct Cleaning Services In London

Whether it's restaurants, cafes, or catering services, running a successful food business requires a busy kitchen. The smoke, constant grease buildup, and rising temperatures are

considered a "source or contributory factor to the fire hazards" by BESA. They must be cleaned regularly. Moreover, it could be a breeding ground for bacteria, mould, and other harmful microorganisms. The ductwork is often the most challenging to maintain cause they have several hard-to-reach areas that need specialist cleaning equipment and expert assistance.

While restaurants can always hire staff to do this job, the critical feature of professional kitchen duct cleaning in London is to provide detailed documentation and recordkeeping. Some of the valuable data obtained from these services include:

●     Survey reports of the ventilation system's actual conditions

●     Schematic representations of the ductwork

●     A certificate of compliance

●     Before and after photos as evidence

All these documents are important for the TR19 compliance, and getting a safe pass during any official health and safety surveys or insurance-related processes.
