What Is TR19® Grease?
TR19® Grease is the industry-recognised standard developed by BESA (Building Engineering Services Association) for the cleaning of commercial kitchen extract systems. It outlines best practices for cleanliness, inspection, and maintenance to mitigate the risk of fire and maintain air quality.
The TR19® Grease specification focuses on:
-
Thorough degreasing of ductwork, fans, and canopies
-
Risk-based inspection frequencies depending on cooking volumes
-
Detailed post-clean reporting with photographic evidence
-
Measurable grease levels to determine cleanliness and frequency of maintenance
Why Is TR19® Grease Cleaning Important?
Over time, grease deposits accumulate in TR19® kitchen extract cleaning systems. These build-ups are highly flammable and one of the leading causes of commercial kitchen fires. A properly cleaned system drastically reduces this risk — and more importantly, keeps your staff, customers, and premises safe.
Failure to maintain your system according to TR19® standards can result in:
-
Fire risk and potential loss of life
-
Insurance invalidation due to non-compliance
-
Fines or prosecution under UK fire safety and health regulations
-
Reputation damage and potential business closure
UK Legal Requirements
As the responsible person under UK law (typically the business owner, employer, or facilities manager), you're legally obligated to maintain fire safety systems — including TR19® kitchen extract cleaning systems — to a safe and compliant standard:
-
Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 – Requires extract systems to be maintained in efficient working order and good repair.
-
Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 – Obligates employers to provide a safe environment for staff and customers.
-
Insurance Policy Conditions – Most commercial policies require documented TR19® compliant cleans as a condition of coverage.
Ignoring these responsibilities could lead to liability for fire damage, injury, or even fatalities — and that’s a risk no business can afford.
