What Is TR19 Duct Cleaning?
TR19 is the BESA (Building Engineering Services Association) guidance document for the cleaning of ventilation systems in commercial kitchens. It sets the industry standard for grease removal, access panel placement, and post-clean reporting.
UK insurers, environmental health officers, and fire authorities recognise TR19 as the benchmark. Operating without a valid TR19 certificate can void your fire insurance and lead to enforcement action.
