TR19 Ventilation Hygiene

The kitchen extract cleaning system poses a hidden fire risk from grease buildup, which can ignite and spread rapidly. To ensure TR19 compliance and maintain proper ventilation hygiene, regular cleaning and inspections by a specialist BESA Approved contractor, such as Deep Clean Scotland, are essential to eliminate or greatly reduce this risk.

Kitchen extract ventilation systems remain efficient and safe only with regular kitchen extract cleaning and maintenance. Deep Clean Scotland can help ensure your system is properly maintained, complies with TR19 compliance, and meets current ventilation hygiene legislation and guidelines.

Many insurers within the Association of British Insurers now require internal inspections and annual kitchen extract cleaning of ductwork to ensure proper ventilation hygiene. The frequency of these inspections increases based on cooking usage, and compliance with TR19 compliance standards is essential. Failure to adhere to these requirements can lead to disputed fire claims and challenges in obtaining future property insurance.

The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 mandates that workplace duty-holders assess fire risks, including those associated with grease extract systems, and take necessary actions to eliminate or minimize them. This includes ensuring kitchen extract cleaning is performed regularly to maintain ventilation hygiene and achieve TR19 compliance. Neglecting these responsibilities could lead to criminal prosecution if a fire results in injury or death.
