Client: Brewhouse & Kitchen
Service: Nationwide Kitchen Extraction Deep Cleaning (TR19 Compliant)
Provider: The Cleaning Services Group Ltd
Partnership Duration: 5 Years (Ongoing)

Background

Five years ago, Brewhouse & Kitchen engaged The Cleaning Services Group Ltd to support a key operational requirement: a dependable, professional provider capable of delivering consistent, high-quality TR19 compliant kitchen extraction cleaning across its growing UK business.

As a well-established operator of microbreweries and pubs, Brewhouse & Kitchen is recognised for its award-winning craft beers and premium dining experience. With continued expansion into new venues, including boutique accommodation and experiential offerings, maintaining rigorous hygiene standards and compliance with UK fire regulations became increasingly critical.

Areas of Concern

Brewhouse & Kitchen required a specialist contractor who could:

• Deliver fully TR19-compliant kitchen extraction cleaning across multiple sites
• Support a geographically diverse portfolio of over 20 locations across the UK
• Maintain consistent cleaning standards across all venues
• Operate with minimal disruption to daily hospitality operations
• Ensure full compliance with fire safety legislation and insurance requirements

Previous service arrangements lacked the consistency and scalability needed to support their growth plans.

The Solution

The Cleaning Services Group implemented a structured, nationwide cleaning programme tailored to the client’s operational needs:

• Nationwide Coverage: Comprehensive service delivery across all locations, from high-footfall city venues to regional sites
• TR19-Compliant Deep Cleaning: Thorough cleaning of kitchen extraction systems in line with industry standards and compliance requirements
• Planned Maintenance Scheduling: Cleaning frequencies aligned with kitchen usage levels to maintain optimal system performance
• Detailed Reporting & Certification: Full documentation provided after each clean to support compliance, audits, and insurance validation
• Flexible Service Delivery: Work scheduled outside trading hours to avoid disruption to staff and customers

Implementation

The project began with detailed site audits across all locations to assess the condition of extraction systems and determine appropriate cleaning intervals.

A phased rollout plan was then introduced, prioritising sites with higher usage levels or increased fire risk.

Ongoing service delivery is supported by a dedicated account management team, ensuring clear communication, prompt issue resolution, and continuous improvement.

All sites now meet TR19 requirements, supporting adherence to UK fire regulations and insurance obligations.

4. Scalable Service Delivery

The relationship has developed into a trusted, long-term partnership, with The Cleaning Services Group playing a key role in ongoing compliance and maintenance.
