Brighton TR19 Kitchen Extraction Fan & Air Duct Cleaning

Why Brighton Kitchens Need TR19 Extraction & Duct Cleaning

Grease-laden deposits in canopy hoods, extraction fans and ductwork are a primary fire load in commercial kitchens. TR19 sets the accepted standard for inspecting and cleaning these systems to control fire risk and provide evidence for insurers and regulators. For operators in Brighton & Hove—from bustling seafront restaurants to Lanes cafés and hotel kitchens—adhering to TR19 helps you:

• Reduce fire risk in high-throughput, peak-season operations.
• Protect insurance cover by evidencing compliant maintenance.
• Improve extraction efficiency and air quality for staff and guests.
• Demonstrate due diligence for EHO visits and third-party audits.
• Support food safety management systems (HACCP) with documented controls.

EC Cleaners pairs TR19 Grease cleaning with related compliance frameworks—SFG20 maintenance, DW/172 ventilation design considerations, gas & fire safety assurance, and workplace H&S alignment—so your kitchen stays safe, insurable and audit-ready year-round.

How Our TR19 Cleaning Process Works

Step-by-step

1. Site Survey & Risk Assessment – We confirm system layout, access, utilities, and safe isolation points.
2. Protection & Containment – Work zones are sheeted; drip trays protect fryers, cooklines and floors.
3. Canopy & Filter Degrease – Alkaline foams and agitation remove carbonised grease; baffles/mesh filters are hot-washed.
4. Fan & Motor Cleaning – The extraction fan is isolated, opened, degreased and balanced; belts are checked.
5. Ductwork Cleaning – Mechanical brushing, scraping and wet extraction; access doors installed where required.
6. Verification Readings – Pre/post deposit measurements recorded at representative points.
7. Reinstatement & Commission – Components refitted; airflow/pathway checks completed.
8. Reporting & Certification – You receive a photographic report and TR19 certificate.

What You Receive: Evidence & Certification

• TR19 Certificate detailing systems cleaned, dates and outcomes.
• Photographic report with pre/post images and annotated access points.
• Deposit thickness readings for audit verification.
• Defect & remedial log with risk ranking and next steps.
• Service schedule recommending frequency by usage class (e.g., heavy/medium/light duty).

Benefits You Can Quantify

Audit readiness & paperwork you can rely on

We emphasise audit readiness for Brighton multi-site groups and independents alike: well-structured reports, named engineers, and clear remedial actions speed up internal checks, insurer questionnaires and EHO inspections.

Cleaner air & happier teams

Well-maintained extraction improves perceived heat load around cooklines and reduces odour complaints—important in densely populated areas like The Lanes and Kemptown where neighbours are close.

Fire risk reduction & business continuity

By removing combustible deposits and proving it through TR19 evidence, you materially reduce the chance of duct fires and resultant downtime.

Challenges in Brighton Kitchens

Brighton & Hove kitchens face a few local quirks that affect extraction hygiene:

• Seafront salt air can accelerate corrosion on external fan housings and cowls; we flag early remedials.
• Tight heritage buildings around The Lanes often have complex duct routes with limited access—necessitating additional access doors to achieve full-length cleaning.
• High seasonal peaks create heavy-duty usage periods, demanding shorter cleaning intervals and flexible out-of-hours scheduling.
• Mixed-use buildings require odour and noise sensitivity—particularly for late-trading venues in residential blocks.

Pricing, Frequency & Scheduling

Costs reflect system length/complexity, fan access, deposit load and working hours. Typical frequency follows TR19 guidance by usage level:

• Heavy use (12–16 hours/day): every 3 months
• Moderate use (6–12 hours/day): every 6 months
• Light use (2–6 hours/day): every 12 months

Brighton Case Example (Illustrative)

Scenario: An independent seafood restaurant near the Palace Pier with a 12-hour trading day and a long rooftop duct. Pre-clean measurements showed heavy deposits in mid-run sections inaccessible via existing doors.

Action: We installed two additional access doors, performed mechanical brushing and wet extraction, fully degreased the fan housing and canopy plenum, then recorded post-clean readings within TR19 thresholds.

Outcome: Noticeable airflow improvement, reduced odour complaints at peak, and an insurer-approved certificate. Planned quarterly maintenance added to their HACCP verification file.
