About this project
Safeflow were contacted by a David Lloyd Leisure Chain to survey and quote for the cleaning of their kitchen ventilation systems, across 83 of their sites. A planned maintenance report was established and cleaning was carried out at night to create minimum impact for the restaurants. Gym access doors were also installed, where necessary, to ensure that the TR19 standard was met.
This was a particular challenging contract as most sites required remedial work, to allow difficult areas of the ductwork to be accessed including some relocating of ductwork and fans. We provided the client with a post clean report of each site, including photographic evidence of cleaning.
Our Approach
We carried out a nationwide survey to assess the condition of each site and develop a structured maintenance programme. Cleaning was scheduled overnight to avoid disruption to daily operations, with access doors installed where required to ensure full compliance with TR19. All works were carefully planned to maintain consistency across all 83 locations.
Key Challenges
The project presented several challenges, including restricted access to ductwork across multiple sites and the need to work around operational gym and restaurant hours. Many locations also required remedial works, including adjustments to ductwork and fans, to allow for effective cleaning and long term maintenance.
The Outcome
- 83 sites cleaned in line with TR19 standards
- Minimal disruption with all works completed overnight
- Improved system hygiene and compliance across all locations
- Full access achieved through remedial works and modifications
- Detailed photographic reporting provided for every site
Why It Matters
Regular kitchen ventilation cleaning is essential for reducing fire risk, improving air quality and ensuring compliance with TR19, particularly for multi-site operations where consistency and safety are critical.
