TR19 Kitchen Extraction & Air Duct Cleaning in City of London
Why City of London Kitchens Need TR19 Extraction & Duct Cleaning
Grease-laden deposits in canopies, extraction fans and ductwork are a significant fire load for commercial kitchens. TR19 provides a recognised method to measure, remove and prove the removal of those deposits, producing evidence your insurer, landlord and EHO can accept. In the Square Mile—where venues face tight spaces, stacked duct risers and extended service windows—TR19 compliance helps you:
- Protect insurance cover with measurable deposit readings and an insurer-recognised TR19 certificate.
- Reduce fire risk by eliminating combustible grease and evidencing results for risk assessments.
- Improve capture & air quality for chefs and customers, cutting heat load and odour spill in dense urban streets.
- Speed up audits with structured photographic reports, clear defect logs and maintenance recommendations.
- Integrate ventilation hygiene with HACCP verification and SFG20 maintenance schedules.
EC Cleaners couples TR19 Grease cleaning with SFG20 maintenance alignment, DW/172 ventilation design considerations, gas & fire safety assurance, and workplace health & safety alignment to keep City kitchens safe, insurable and efficient.

Benefits You Can Quantify
Insurance confidence & audit speed
Our reporting is structured for insurers, landlords and corporate audits. Clear evidence shortens renewals and reduces back-and-forth with Facilities and H&S teams.
Airflow, comfort & odour control
Degreased ducts and balanced impellers reduce resistance, stabilise capture velocity and limit odour spill—important near offices, hotels and residential towers.
Operational uptime
Out-of-hours works around lunch/dinner service keep premium covers on track while maintaining compliance standards.
Challenges in City of London Kitchens
- Stacked risers & shared routes demand careful access planning and additional access doors to achieve full-length cleaning.
- Mixed-use neighbours (offices, hotels, residential blocks) require odour/noise sensitivity and robust containment.
- Restricted access windows around service peaks and deliveries make night/Sunday work essential.
- Roof-mounted fans on high-rise plant decks require safe access, weatherproofing checks and precise RAMS.
Pricing, Frequency & Scheduling
Pricing reflects 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
We’ll survey your kitchen and provide a fixed scope and price, scheduled around your trading pattern and landlord constraints.
City of London Case Example (Illustrative)
Scenario: A premium brasserie near Bank reported odour complaints during evening service. The extract riser ran vertically through multiple floors with limited mid-run access and heavy deposits.
Action: We installed additional access doors at strategic levels, mechanically brushed and wet-extracted the riser, degreased the canopy and fan housing, and balanced the impeller. Pre/post readings were recorded to TR19 methodology.
Outcome: Improved capture, lower motor amperage and fewer odour complaints. The venue received an insurer-accepted TR19 certificate and moved to a quarterly schedule aligned with SFG20 and integrated into its HACCP verification.
