The accumulation of grease in commercial kitchen extract systems presents a real fire risk that can devastate a business and its ongoing viability. As a result most insurance companies now require evidence that duct cleaning is carried out to an acceptable standard, and at a frequency that minimises risk.
The TR19 specification has been introduced and regularly updated by BESA (the Building Engineering Services Association) to set out the best practice for testing and cleaning kitchen extract ductwork. In 2019 it released the new TR19® Grease specification.
Aquavent is fully qualified and certified to carry out kitchen extract and duct cleaning to BESA’s Vent Hygiene Elite standards – the most advanced and stringent in the UK. This assures compliance with the new TR19® Grease stand-alone specification for Fire Risk Management of Grease Accumulation within Kitchen Extraction Systems. No one can work to a more exacting standard than Aquavent.
