Annual Cleaning: Non-Negotiable
For takeaway establishments, grease accumulation is a silent hazard. Over time, volatile oils solidify within the ductwork, creating a significant fire risk that can bypass standard suppressions systems. Regular yearly maintenance isn't just a recommendation—it's a critical safety requirement for your business survival.
Failure to provide a valid TR19 certificate can void your building insurance and lead to immediate closure by fire authorities.
TR19 Grease: The Gold Standard for Kitchen Safety
The TR19® Grease specification is the leading standard for the cleaning and maintenance of commercial kitchen ventilation systems. Compliance isn't just a recommendation—it's a legal requirement to ensure fire safety, insurance validity, and hygiene standards in takeaway and restaurant environments.
Annual cleaning reduces the risk of grease accumulation, which acts as fuel for flash fires. Apex Extraction LTD provides comprehensive audits and cleaning services that meet these rigorous compliance standards, protecting your business and your staff.
01
Assessment & Compliance Audit
We begin with a detailed inspection of the canopy, ductwork, and extractor fan to identify grease accumulation levels and ensure compliance with TR19 grease hygiene standards for takeaway ventilation.
02
Deep Extraction Cleaning
Using specialist degreasing agents and high-pressure methods, we deep clean the entire fan system and internal ducting, removing carbonized fats and oil deposits that pose significant fire risks to commercial takeaway outlets.
03
Certification & Reporting
Post-clean, we issue a comprehensive TR19 certificate of completion. This provides legal evidence for insurance and health authorities, verifying your extraction system is clean, safe, and fully operational.
