Overview.
Kitchen Extraction System Cleaning
At Extract Compliance Ltd, we deliver professional kitchen extraction cleaning for commercial kitchens across Chester, Shrewsbury, and surrounding areas. Our work is fully compliant with TR19 standards, helping you meet fire safety regulations, improve hygiene, and stay fully insured.
Over time, grease and debris naturally build up in kitchen extraction systems — including the canopy, ductwork, filters, and extraction fans. This not only affects airflow and kitchen performance, but significantly increases fire risk. That’s why regular cleaning to TR19 standards is critical.

Standards We Work To.
The Benchmarks This Service Is Completed To
- BESA TR19® Grease
The specification for fire risk management of grease-laden extract ventilation. We clean to a post-clean average grease deposit of under 200 microns and evidence it with measured readings, not estimates.
- BS 9999 / Fire Safety Order 2005
The Responsible Person must manage fire risk in extract systems. Our certificate and photographic record form the evidence for your fire risk assessment.
- Insurer & FIA requirements
Reports are produced in the format insurers and Fire Industry Association guidance expect, so a claim is not challenged for lack of maintenance evidence.
- Food Safety Act 1990 / EHO
Canopy, filter and plenum hygiene is documented for Environmental Health inspection alongside your food safety management system.
- NAAD21 access panels
Any new access doors are specified, positioned and fitted to the NAAD21 standard so future inspection and cleaning is possible.
The Risks of Leaving It.
What Happens If It's Not Cleaned.
Grease fire in the ductwork
Grease drawn off the cooking line coats the canopy interior, plenum and ductwork. A single flare from a wok, grill or salamander can ignite that layer and spread fire through ceiling voids and onto the roof in seconds.
Insurance cover invalidated
Most commercial policies make documented TR19-compliant cleaning a condition of cover — an uncleaned, uncertified system can give an insurer grounds to refuse a fire claim.
Failed fire risk assessment
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 the Responsible Person must manage this risk; without an evidenced cleaning record your fire risk assessment is exposed.
Strangled airflow & kitchen heat
A grease-laden fan and clogged filters trap heat, smoke and odours in the kitchen and force the extraction system to overrun to compensate.
