Maintaining clean kitchen extraction systems is vital for fire safety and regulatory compliance in commercial kitchens. As fully certified specialists and proud members of the National Association of Air Duct Specialists UK (NAADUK), Cleanup Team delivers complete TR19-compliant ductwork cleaning services in Guisborough that ensure your systems meet all legal standards and operate at peak efficiency.

Without regular cleaning, this build up creates significant fire hazards while reducing system efficiency and air quality. The build up of grease deposits in kitchen extract systems is a leading cause of kitchen fires across the UK, making proper maintenance not just advisable but essential.
The Building Engineering Services Association (BESA) developed the TR19 guidelines to establish comprehensive standards for maintaining clean, safe ventilation systems. These industry-respected guidelines have become the benchmark for kitchen extraction cleaning throughout the UK.
The TR19 standards provide clear directives for ductwork cleaning frequency based on kitchen usage patterns:
Following these TR19 guidelines isn't just good practice—it's a legal requirement enforced by health and safety standards and British insurers. Non-compliant ductwork systems can result in:
