Crawley TR19 Kitchen Extraction Fan & Air Duct Cleaning

Why Crawley Kitchens Need TR19 Extraction & Duct Cleaning

Grease-laden deposits inside canopies, fans and ductwork represent a significant fire load in any commercial kitchen. TR19 sets the recognised inspection and cleaning standard to control that risk and to produce evidence acceptable to insurers, EHOs and auditors. In the Crawley & Gatwick area—where trading windows are long and delivery volumes high—TR19 compliance helps you:

• Protect your insurance cover with documented measurements and an insurer-recognised TR19 certificate.
• Reduce fire risk by removing combustible deposits and verifying results with pre/post readings.
• Improve extraction efficiency, airflow and capture, cutting odour spill and excess heat on the cookline.
• Show due diligence for EHO visits, landlord compliance, and brand audits.
• Integrate ventilation hygiene into HACCP and align tasks and intervals to SFG20 maintenance guidance.

EC Cleaners combines TR19 Grease cleaning with adjacent compliance capabilities: SFG20 maintenance alignment, DW/172 ventilation design considerations, gas & fire safety assurance, and workplace health & safety alignment—keeping your kitchen safe, insurable and audit-ready.

How Our TR19 Cleaning Process Works

Step-by-step

1. Survey & Risk Assessment – Confirm layout, isolation, access and RAMS.
2. Protection & Containment – Sheeting, floor protection and waste capture to avoid contamination.
3. Canopy & Filter Degrease – Alkaline foams, agitation and hot-wash of removable filters.
4. Fan Cleaning – Open/clean housing & impeller; check/adjust belts; reassemble.
5. Duct Cleaning – Mechanical brushing, scraping and wet vac; install access doors where required.
6. Verification Readings – Record pre/post deposit measurements at representative points.
7. Reinstatement & Commission – Refit, check airflow/path, remove protections.
8. Reporting & Certification – Photographic report, defect log and TR19 certificate issued.

Benefits You Can Quantify

Odour control near residences & hotels

Improved capture and duct hygiene reduce nuisance odours—crucial for mixed-use sites around town centre blocks, hotels and residential areas bordering Manor Royal.

Airflow & energy performance

Clean, balanced systems lower resistance, improve capture velocity and can reduce motor load, helping to control energy costs in long-duty kitchens and delivery hubs.

Insurance alignment & audit speed

Our evidence pack streamlines renewals and brand audits for franchise and multi-site operators working across Crawley and Gatwick.

Challenges in Crawley & Gatwick Kitchens

• Extended trading hours for airport-adjacent venues demand overnight scheduling and fast turnarounds.
• Complex duct routes in retail parks and repurposed units often require additional access doors to achieve full-length cleaning.
• Odour sensitivity around hotels and residential blocks necessitates thorough duct hygiene and correct discharge arrangements.
• Roof-mounted fans exposed to weather need corrosion checks, safe access planning and robust RAMS.

Pricing, Frequency & Scheduling

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

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

After survey, we’ll confirm a fixed scope and price with a schedule that fits your trading pattern (including nights and Sundays).

Crawley Case Example (Illustrative)

Scenario: A delivery-focused dark kitchen near Manor Royal recorded poor capture and odour complaints at peak hours. The extract featured a long horizontal run with limited access and heavy mid-run deposits.

Action: We installed two access doors, mechanically brushed and wet-vacced the run, degreased the canopy and fan housing, and balanced the impeller. Pre/post deposit readings were recorded to TR19 methodology.

Outcome: Increased airflow, fewer odour complaints, reduced fan amperage draw, and an insurer-accepted TR19 certificate. The site adopted a quarterly schedule aligned to SFG20 and integrated into its HACCP verification.
