The Vent Hygiene Register

The UK’s official register for vent and ductwork hygiene contractors.

Protecting People, Property & Reputation

The Vent Hygiene Register (VHR) was established in 2019 to allow approved members to demonstrate that the specialist vent hygiene works carried out by them to ventilation systems, was done so in compliance with TR19® specification.

Since then, VHR members have been able to certify the enhanced safety of more than 21,000 kitchen extract systems across the UK, meaning those properties are safer and therefore protecting people and the reputation of building owners.

The importance of demonstrating industry compliance in making ventilation systems safer means that:

• Clients have documented evidence of cleans and reduction of fire risk
• Building insurance providers specify VHR to reduce liability and risk
• Building managers have a clear maintenance regime to ensure continued fire risk reduction
• Occupiers have peace of mind they are in a safe environment

The Vent Hygiene Register demonstrates a visible community, an industry prepared to stand up and be noticed, due to their drive to prioritising safer systems through compliance with recognised industry specification and ongoing high standards of professional knowledge and training, resulting in the reduction of fire risks.
