Understanding TR19
TR19 is the industry standard for ventilation hygiene, published by BESA (Building Engineering Services Association). It defines exactly how commercial kitchen extract systems must be cleaned — and how often — to remain safe and legally compliant.
Compliance is a legal requirement under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. It is also a condition of most commercial kitchen insurance policies. A kitchen fire in a non-compliant premises can result in a rejected insurance claim, prosecution, and closure.
Deep Clean Scotland provides full TR19-compliant ventilation cleaning with certification — so your business is always protected.
TR19 is the industry standard published by BESA (Building Engineering Services Association) for the hygienic maintenance of ventilation systems. Compliance is a legal requirement under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 and is a condition of most commercial kitchen insurance policies. Non-compliance can invalidate your insurance and expose you to prosecution.
TR19 cleaning frequency is determined by your kitchen's usage and daily operating hours. For initial cleans, we assess your system based on kitchen type, cooking method, and hours of operation to establish the correct starting frequency. For ongoing programmes, we calculate daily grease accumulation rates from the previous clean — measuring grease deposits against TR19 benchmarks — to determine whether your frequency should be adjusted. As a guide: heavy use kitchens operating 12 or more hours per day typically require quarterly cleaning; medium use kitchens operating 6–12 hours per day typically require bi-annual cleaning; light use kitchens operating under 6 hours per day typically require annual cleaning. The correct frequency is always determined by grease accumulation data, not a fixed calendar — ensuring your compliance certificate accurately reflects the condition of your system.
You receive a full TR19 compliance certificate, an electronic Post Clean Verification Report (PCVR), and before-and-after photographs of all areas cleaned. The PCVR records grease deposit levels, areas cleaned, access points used, and any remedial recommendations — providing a complete, auditable record of the work carried out. All documentation is issued electronically and is accepted by insurers, Environmental Health Officers, and fire officers as evidence of compliance.

Common Questions
TR19 specifies cleaning frequency based on usage: heavy use (12+ hours/day) requires quarterly cleaning; medium use (6–12 hours/day) requires bi-annual cleaning; light use (under 6 hours/day) requires annual cleaning. We assess your kitchen and recommend the correct schedule.
Yes. TR19 compliance is required under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. As the responsible person for your premises, you are legally obligated to ensure your ventilation system is maintained to prevent fire risk. Failure to comply can result in prosecution, fines, and closure.
Grease accumulates in ductwork and becomes a serious fire hazard. Beyond the fire risk, non-compliance can invalidate your insurance policy, result in failed EHO inspections, and expose you to legal liability. In the event of a fire, your insurer may refuse to pay out if TR19 cleaning records cannot be produced.
