Commercial kitchen deep clean — HSE and TR19-compliant canopy, ductwork and floor cleaning

The Challenge: Kitchen Hygiene Standards Are Non-Negotiable

Commercial kitchens face strict regulatory scrutiny, and failure to maintain hygiene standards has serious consequences.

Regulatory inspections include:

  • Environmental Health Officers conduct unannounced inspections
  • Care Commission requires documented cleaning schedules for care facilities
  • Food Standards Scotland enforces hygiene regulations
  • Fire Safety Officers inspect extraction systems for fire risk

The cost of non-compliance:

  • Failed inspections result in enforcement notices and re-inspections
  • Poor hygiene ratings (0-2 stars) deter customers and damage reputation
  • Closure orders for serious breaches shut down operations
  • Insurance issues - inadequate maintenance can void fire insurance
  • Fire risk - grease buildup in ducts is a major fire hazard

Standard cleaning isn't enough. You need certified deep cleaning to regulatory standards.

What FM directors and contracts managers ask before they hire us.

TR19 is the BESA (Building Engineering Services Association) published standard for grease management in kitchen extract ventilation. It sets out what a "clean" system looks like, how it should be inspected, and what evidence the responsible person must hold under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. Insurers and fire risk assessors use the TR19 certificate as proof the extraction system has been cleaned to a recognised industry benchmark — without it, claims relating to extract-system fires are routinely refused. We issue a TR19 certificate with every kitchen deep clean that covers the extraction system.

TR19 frequency depends on usage: heavy-use kitchens (12-16 hrs/day) every 3 months, medium-use (6-12 hrs/day) every 6 months, light-use annually. Floors, walls and equipment surfaces are typically cleaned every 6-12 months for restaurants and hotels, and every 6 months for care homes and healthcare facilities. We'll recommend a schedule based on your specific operation.

We provide a certificate of cleaning to HSE standards, photographic evidence (before/after), fire risk reduction certification for duct cleaning, and supporting documentation for insurance and compliance records.
