Restaurant & Kitchen Cleaning in the UK
Commercial kitchen cleaning in the UK is a food safety and fire safety obligation rather than housekeeping. Extract ductwork must be cleaned to TR19 Grease standards, and most insurers make cover conditional on a certificate with photographic evidence — a grease fire in an uncleaned duct is the claim they are pricing.
