What is a Duct Cleaner invoice?

A duct cleaner invoice is issued by a specialist duct cleaning company to commercial clients for the cleaning of ventilation ductwork, kitchen extract systems, HVAC ducts, and air handling units. In commercial settings, duct cleaning is a fire safety and hygiene compliance requirement under TR19 (the BESA guide to good practice for kitchen extract systems). Commercial kitchen extract cleaning is required by law under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 and must be carried out at appropriate intervals depending on cooking frequency (typically quarterly to annually). Cleaning companies certified by the British Standards Institution (BSI) or trained to TR19 standards are preferred by commercial clients. A duct cleaning invoice must include evidence of the work carried out (before and after photographs, TR19 compliance certificate) as clients need this documentation for fire insurance and fire risk assessment purposes. The invoice and certificate together form a compliance record.

How to invoice as a duct cleaner

Invoice on completion of the work with the TR19 certificate attached. Many clients require both the invoice and the certificate simultaneously for their compliance records, so do not delay issuing either. Include the next recommended cleaning date based on the cooking frequency category on your invoice or covering note. This assists the client's facilities manager in scheduling future compliance and makes it easier for you to schedule the next job. For multi-site restaurant or hotel groups, set up a master contract and invoice monthly for all cleans completed at all sites in the month. Provide a site-by-site schedule and certificate log to the central facilities or compliance team. For commercial kitchen cleans, photograph the ductwork before and after. These images are part of the compliance record and support your invoice in the event of any insurance or fire inspection query.

Frequently asked questions

What is TR19 and why does it matter for duct cleaning invoices?
TR19 is the BESA (Building Engineering Services Association) guide to good practice for kitchen extract systems and fire risk management. It sets the cleaning frequency and standard required for commercial kitchen ducting. A TR19 certificate from a qualified duct cleaner is required for fire insurance compliance.
How often must commercial kitchen extract systems be cleaned?
TR19 defines three categories: Light use (12 hours/week or less) requires annual cleaning. Medium use (12-16 hours/day) requires 6-monthly cleaning. Heavy use (over 16 hours/day including solid fuel cooking) requires quarterly cleaning.
What qualifications do duct cleaners need?
Duct cleaners working on commercial kitchen extraction should be BESA TR19-trained and ideally hold membership of the British Grease and Duct Cleaning Association (BDCA) or equivalent. Asbestos awareness training is required before working in older buildings where asbestos may be present in ductwork.
Do duct cleaning companies need to be VAT-registered?
Established commercial duct cleaning businesses typically exceed the £90,000 threshold and should be VAT-registered. All commercial clients can reclaim VAT, so it does not affect market competitiveness.
What happens if a restaurant fails a fire inspection due to dirty ducting?
A fire officer finding grease-contaminated ductwork can issue an enforcement notice requiring immediate remediation, and in serious cases close the premises. A compliant TR19 certificate from a certified cleaner is strong evidence of due diligence in fire risk management.
