Commercial kitchen extraction systems accumulate flammable grease deposits and heavy carbon buildup inside exhaust hoods, ductwork runs, and extraction fans. Professional cleaning to TR19 standards is critical to prevent grease fires and maintain kitchen airflow.
The Importance of TR19 Extraction Degreasing
Over 70% of commercial kitchen fires originate in uncleaned grease extraction ductwork. When cooking vapors pass through canopy filters, aerosolized fat particles condense on internal duct walls. Over weeks of high-volume cooking, this forms a thick, highly combustible fuel layer.
HYPEST technicians perform full mechanical scraping, chemical degreasing, and high-pressure steam washing of extraction hoods, baffle filters, duct passages, and fan impellers. We fit sealed access doors where necessary to reach vertical rises and elbows, certifying your ductwork to international TR19 fire safety standards.
Improving Kitchen Air Quality & Regulatory Compliance
A clean extraction system reduces ambient kitchen heat, eliminates persistent cooking odours, lowers energy consumption by fan motors, and ensures full compliance with local fire department codes and commercial property insurance mandates.
