Answer three questions for a guide based on TR19, the standard your insurer works to. Then book an inspection and we'll confirm it on site.
After every clean you get photos of the work, an itemised invoice, and a dated TR19 certificate showing how much grease was removed and when the next clean is due.
TR19 Grease · Ref VW-2026-0418
Grease doesn't stop at the filters. Scroll through a clean and watch it come out of each part of the system.
The cookline is wrapped in polythene and clamped before any cleaning starts.

Grease measured again, photos taken, certificate issued.
Pick the row that matches your kitchen and we'll schedule the year for you. The inspections in between show how fast grease is building, so there are no surprises.
