At Cleaners Darlington UK, we provide professional TR19 commercial kitchen extraction cleaning across Darlington and the wider North East. Grease accumulation in kitchen extraction systems is one of the leading causes of commercial kitchen fires in the UK, and that is not a risk any business owner should take lightly.
Whether you run a restaurant, pub, hotel, takeaway, or staff canteen, keeping your extraction systems clean is not optional. It is a legal requirement tied directly to your fire safety obligations, your insurance cover, and your ability to pass inspections.
Our cleaning process covers the entire system, not just the parts you can see. Here is what kitchen extraction cleaning involves on a typical visit:
The cleaning process uses a combination of specialist chemical degreasers and steam cleaning where required. We remove grease from every component of the kitchen extraction, not just the visible sections.
Cleaning frequency under TR19 is based on kitchen usage, not a fixed calendar. The guidance is straightforward:
Hotels, restaurants, pubs, and catering facilities across the UK that follow these TR19 cleaning schedules are far more likely to pass inspections without issues. The cleaning schedule you follow is also something your insurance company will want to see evidence of.
We will carry out a risk assessment at work begins to establish the right frequency for your kitchen and advise you accordingly.
Insurance providers in the UK often require regular TR19-compliant cleaning of extraction systems as a condition of cover. Failure to maintain a clean extraction system can invalidate insurance policies in the event of a fire, meaning any claim you make could be rejected entirely.
Environmental health officers in the UK can and do request evidence of extraction cleaning as part of routine inspections. Cleaning records and certification are required to demonstrate compliance, and kitchens without them face a much harder time during visits.
The risk assessment and photographic evidence we provide after each clean give you exactly what you need to satisfy your insurance company and meet health and safety regulations. That documentation is part of our standard service.
Costs for TR19 commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Darlington vary based on the size of your kitchen, the length of your ductwork, grease load, and how accessible the system is.

A fully clean extraction system does more than keep you compliant. Regular extraction cleaning improves airflow throughout the kitchen, which directly controls heat, odours, and airborne grease particles in the working environment.
Air quality in commercial kitchens improves noticeably after a thorough cleaning. High grease levels in systems cause unpleasant odours to circulate back into the kitchen or dining areas, and a clean system eliminates that problem.
Regular cleaning also extends the lifespan of fans, filters, and ductwork. When heavy grease build up is allowed to accumulate, it places strain on extractor fans and reduces their efficiency over time. Keeping the system clean means less wear, lower running costs, and fewer breakdowns.
