Over time, grease and dirt build up in extractor fans, diminishing not only their efficiency and effectiveness, but also presenting an increased fire risk, and worst of all, encouraging bacteria build-up.
You may not know this, but if there’s an accident, fire, or cleanliness issue in your kitchen, and your extractors are found to be below the acceptable TR19 standard, it may adversely affect an insurance claim.
Insurance companies often build indemnities into their policies which protect them from claims made when extractor systems fall below centralised standards. Unclean extractor systems can often cause issues in both the immediate future and the long term. And it’s in your best interest to make sure that doesn’t happen, to protect both yourself and your customers.
The TR19 standard was defined in 1988 by the Building Engineering Services Association, or BESA, and has become quality control measure for the cleaning of extractor and duct systems in the UK. It also requires that periodic inspections and cleanings are carried out annually by a qualified inspector to ensure ongoing safety and cleanliness.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″][vc_custom_heading text=”Before” font_container=”tag:h2|font_size:20|text_align:center|color:%230a0a0a” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_single_image image=”887″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″][vc_custom_heading text=”After” font_container=”tag:h2|font_size:20|text_align:center|color:%230a0a0a” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_single_image image=”880″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″][vc_custom_heading text=”Before” font_container=”tag:h2|font_size:20|text_align:center|color:%230a0a0a” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_single_image image=”881″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″][vc_custom_heading text=”After” font_container=”tag:h2|font_size:20|text_align:center|color:%230a0a0a” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_single_image image=”882″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_column_text]Insurance companies may request a certificate to prove that your extractors meet this required standard of operation before they issue a valid policy.

Established in 1904, it was previously known as the Heating and Ventilating Contractors’ Association (HVCA).
Structured as a membership association, BESA primarily focuses on supporting and serving their members active in the design, installation, commissioning, maintenance, control, and management of engineering systems and services in buildings.
20 years ago, they defined the TR19 standards, which has today become the go-to standard for performing ducts and kitchen extract system cleaning. Insurance companies only provide insurance to companies if they have a certificate of duct cleanliness that specifies that their ducts have been cleaned as per this standard.
TR19 standards also specify that inspections must be carried out in regular intervals not exceeding 12 months. More frequent inspections are required for a precise measurement of the required cleaning interval. A specialist must carry out periodic inspections before and after cleaning the ductwork to assess whether the prescribed cleaning interval is alright, or if it needs adjustments.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”Request Call Back” font_container=”tag:h2|text_align:left|color:%23282828″ use_theme_fonts=”yes”]
