Introducing XTRact – Our Dedicated Hygiene Division
At Proceed, we are proud to introduce XTRact — our newly rebranded division specialising in the cleaning, maintenance, and servicing of commercial kitchen extract systems for some of the UK’s leading hospitality brands, including Mitchells and Butlers, Whitbread, BrewDog, Fullers, and Punch. Operating nationally, our team of 30 dedicated kitchen hygiene technicians delivers an industry-leading service built around compliance, safety, and standards.
Cleaning to TR19 guidelines is a critical requirement for maintaining kitchen hygiene and ensuring compliance with fire safety regulations. These guidelines, set by the Building Engineering Services Association (BESA), provide a framework for the cleaning of commercial kitchen extract systems, helping reduce fire risk and ensuring safe, efficient operations.
What Sets XTRact Apart?
At the core of our TR19 service is a detailed, thorough approach that combines industry best practices with advanced technology and operational and managerial support services. Our process includes:
Specialist Cleaning Methods
Our technicians use a combination of manual scraping, chemical degreasing, and steam cleaning to thoroughly remove grease and particulate buildup from canopies, ductwork, fans, and system components.
Micron Readings for Clean Frequency
We measure grease levels in microns to determine appropriate cleaning intervals. Readings above TR19 thresholds trigger scheduled cleans, ensuring full compliance and significantly reducing fire risk.
Filter Exchange Services
As part of our maintenance packages, we provide regular extraction filter replacements to maintain optimal airflow and grease capture, preventing excessive buildup within the system.
Coordination with Fan Engineers
Where mechanical faults or deeper system issues are identified, we work directly with qualified fan engineers to deliver fast, seamless repairs, minimising downtime for our clients’ operations.
System Isolation and Safety
Prior to any clean, our teams carefully isolate relevant electrical and mechanical systems, ensuring a safe working environment and preventing contamination or damage to equipment.
Comprehensive Reporting:
Following every service, we supply detailed before-and-after photographic evidence and system schematics within customised digital reports. These reports are structured to meet insurance compliance and audit requirements, offering complete peace of mind.
Cleaning in line with TR19 standards isn’t just about maintaining hygiene, it plays a vital role in fire prevention, protecting staff, customers, property, and the continuity of your business.
With XTRact, Proceed continues to lead the way in kitchen hygiene innovation, ensuring that our clients operate safely, efficiently, and fully compliant with regulatory standards.
