HVCA TR19 Explained

Background of TR19

You may have heard of HVCA, the Heating & Ventilation Contractors Association? It’s recently been renamed and is now known as B&ES (ie. Building & Engineering Services Association).

What is the  TR19 Report?

B&ES (formerly HVCA) have introduced a specification for cleaning kitchen extraction systems, including canopies, ducts and vents. This is the TR19 publication. The TR19 guide meets the requirements of both the Health & Safety Executive (HSE) as well as insurance company guidance regulations. It’s incredibly important to follow the specifications stipulated in the TR19 guide so as to keep the extraction system clean, minimise the risk of fire within the system and meet insurance requirements. By removing grease buildup from ducting, it also reduces bacterial buildup.

We are TR19 Compliant

You can be assured that we are fully compliant with the TR19 publication and use this as a baseline for all extraction cleaning completed. So, you’re in safe hands. Read more about how we meet B&ES standard requirements here.
