Why TR19 Kitchen Extract Cleaning Matters for Irish Restaurants

Regular TR19 kitchen extract cleaning protects your business from fire risk, failed inspections and insurance complications. This guide explains what Irish restaurant and hotel operators need to know about grease extract hygiene standards.

What is TR19?

TR19 is the industry standard for grease extract hygiene in commercial kitchens. It defines acceptable levels of grease accumulation and the cleaning methods required to maintain fire-safe extract systems.

How often should extract systems be cleaned?

Frequency depends on cooking volume. High-output kitchens may need quarterly cleaning, while lower-volume operations typically require annual TR19 cleans as a minimum.

Documentation for inspections

Always retain your TR19 certification and photographic evidence. Environmental health officers and fire assessors increasingly request this documentation during inspections.
