EC Cleaners Network · Restaurant lease handover · TR19 Grease
Handing back a restaurant, pub or commercial kitchen? Request a cleaning quote around your handover date and the work your landlord has asked for.
EC coordinates enquiries for kitchen deep cleaning and grease-extract inspection or cleaning. The independent specialist confirms the work included, access, price and report. Share any landlord instructions or previous cleaning report if you have them.
Separate the work needed for handover
Kitchen surfaces and equipment
List floors, walls, cooking equipment and other areas in the handover schedule. Agree accessible surfaces, preparation and exclusions.
Kitchen grease extraction
Identify the canopy, filters, plenum, duct route, fan and discharge. Previous reports and access restrictions help define the TR19 Grease requirement.
Other ventilation or repairs
General air ducts, mechanical repairs and remedial access work need their own scope. A kitchen surface clean does not establish completion of these tasks.
Request an end-of-tenancy restaurant cleaning quote
Start with the postcode, handover date and the areas needing attention. Mention any landlord instruction or known access restriction. Reports and photographs can follow later; the specialist confirms the work and available dates.
An enquiry does not book attendance. Scope, availability, price and any site-assessment charge must be agreed with the independent specialist.
Search and Submit Ltd uses your details to respond and coordinate the enquiry, including sharing relevant information with appropriate independent specialists. Read our Privacy Policy. Please omit unrelated personal or sensitive information.
Does every restaurant tenancy require a TR19 certificate?
Start with the lease, agreed handover schedule and any specific landlord, insurer or fire-risk requirements. A tenancy ending does not by itself define which systems need cleaning or what document will be accepted.
GOV.UK explains that many business-property responsibilities depend on the lease, including repair, maintenance and moving-out obligations. See business tenant responsibilities. Ask your property adviser or solicitor to resolve disputed lease duties or payment responsibility.
TR19 Grease addresses grease-related fire-risk management in kitchen extraction. It is not a blanket certificate for the building or a guarantee of deposit return, lease sign-off or insurer acceptance. See TR19 cleaning certificates and reports for the evidence to discuss.
Define the kitchen extract cleaning scope
Identify the extraction route and the sections the specialist is being asked to inspect or clean. Share drawings, previous photographs and records of inaccessible areas. BESA publishes TR19 Grease for the inspection, cleaning and management of grease accumulation in kitchen extract systems.
Missing panels, roof restrictions, high-level ductwork or shared risers can affect completion. Resolve access and remediation requirements before relying on a single attendance.
Use kitchen extract cleaning for the technical scope, commercial kitchen deep cleaning for surfaces and equipment, and TR19 Air ventilation cleaning for separate general-ventilation systems.
What affects end-of-tenancy kitchen cleaning costs?
Price depends on the kitchen condition, equipment, number of systems, duct routes, access, permitted hours and reporting. Surface cleaning, internal extraction and repair work should be itemised so quotations cover the same requirement.
Ask whether VAT, access equipment, site assessment, waste handling or a return visit is included. The kitchen extract cleaning cost guide explains the main cost factors; the appointed specialist confirms the price for this site.
Attendance duration and overnight availability need confirmation. Provide the handover deadline early and allow for assessment, access work, cleaning and document review. For a short deadline, use the urgent TR19 enquiry route.
Agree the handover evidence before booking
Ask for the premises and system to be identified, the work completed, relevant photographs or verification results, inaccessible sections and outstanding actions. Any certificate should match the scope actually completed.
Confirm who receives the report and who decides whether the original requirement has been met. A contractor cannot promise the landlord will accept a handover or waive a deduction.
If records already exist, use report and evidence enquiry coordination to organise the requirement. Technical conclusions remain with the appointed specialist and relevant adviser.
Restaurant project context and wider requirements
The historic Botanist Bournemouth kitchen-cleaning case study provides restaurant project context. The photograph below is retained from this page; it is not evidence of a tenancy handover or deposit outcome.
For an operating restaurant or a change of occupier, see the restaurant extraction guidance. Include the exact postcode for enquiries in London, Southampton, Hampshire or elsewhere in the UK so specialist coverage can be checked.
Frequently asked questions
Who pays for end-of-tenancy restaurant kitchen cleaning?
Check the lease, agreed handover requirements and any relevant schedule with the landlord or managing agent. Payment responsibility should be resolved before appointment; a property adviser or solicitor can advise on disputed obligations.
Does the clean include a TR19 certificate?
Ask the independent specialist to specify the kitchen-extract work and reporting included. Any certificate must relate to the actual completed scope. A general kitchen surface clean does not certify internal ductwork.
How long does end-of-tenancy cleaning take?
The programme depends on the kitchen, systems, condition, access and required work. Give the handover date and permitted hours so the specialist can confirm feasibility. No fixed completion period is promised.
Will TR19 cleaning guarantee my deposit is returned?
No. Deposit decisions and lease handover depend on the contractual requirements and the relevant parties. Agreed cleaning and reporting can document the work completed but do not guarantee acceptance or remove other obligations.
