We cover Boston kitchens regularly as part of that area. This is within our service ring of up to 45 miles, so Boston is a regular part of our working area.

Food hygiene in Boston is inspected by Boston Borough Council, while Lincolnshire Fire and Rescue enforces fire safety under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. TR19 Grease is BESA guidance, not law; the legal duty to manage fire risk sits with the kitchen operator under that Order. We clean to TR19 Grease and provide dated photographs, before and after grease readings, a post-clean verification report and an online verifiable certificate so a Boston kitchen can evidence its cleaning condition.
What a TR19 clean covers
The whole extraction system, cleaned as one, by Umair Hussain. Every clean is priced in writing after a free site survey, before any work starts. What drives the cost of a TR19 clean.
Canopy and filters
Filters removed and degreased; canopy interior and underside cleaned back to metal.
Plenum
The void behind the filters, where grease collects out of sight, cleaned in full.
Ductwork
Duct cleaning through access panels: every section we can reach, with any section we cannot reach named on the report.
Extract fan
Fan, impeller and housing degreased, so grease is not thrown back into the duct.
Readings and photos
Grease thickness measured before and after at the same points, with dated photographs.
Report and certificate
A post-clean report of what was cleaned, and a numbered certificate to keep on file.

TR19 cleaning in Boston: questions
Do you cover Boston?
Yes. Boston is 28 miles from our base at 29 Ivatt Way, Peterborough (about 45 min by road), inside the core of our 70-mile area, so we work there regularly. Early-morning, evening and overnight cleans are available so the kitchen can keep trading.
Who enforces fire safety for commercial kitchens in Boston?
Lincolnshire Fire and Rescue enforces the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 in Boston. The Order puts the duty on the responsible person to manage fire risk, which includes grease in the extraction system. TR19 Grease is the BESA guidance most operators follow to show how that risk is managed; it is guidance, not law.
Who inspects food hygiene in Boston?
Boston Borough Council carries out food hygiene inspections for businesses in Boston and publishes the ratings on the Food Standards Agency website. An environmental health officer may ask to see cleaning records for the extraction system; our post-clean report and certificate are written to be shown.
How often does a kitchen extract system in Boston need cleaning?
BESA TR19 sets the interval by how many hours a day the kitchen cooks: 12 to 16 hours, every 3 months; 6 to 12 hours, every 6 months; 2 to 6 hours, every 12 months. Your insurance policy may set its own condition, so check it alongside TR19.
How much does TR19 cleaning cost in Boston?
Kitchens in Boston are priced the same way as everywhere we work: in writing, after a free site survey, before any work starts. The price depends on the canopies, the length and access of the ductwork and the fan; our TR19 cleaning cost guide explains each of them.
How often should our Boston kitchen extraction system be cleaned under TR19?
BESA TR19 Grease sets cleaning intervals by daily cooking hours: 12–16 hours every 3 months, 6–12 hours every 6 months, and 2–6 hours every 12 months. TR19 is guidance, not law, but the legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. We carry out a free site survey and price every clean in writing before work begins.
Which authority enforces fire safety and food hygiene in Boston?
Boston Borough Council runs food hygiene inspections for Boston food premises. Fire safety is enforced by Lincolnshire Fire and Rescue under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. TR19 Grease is BESA guidance, not law; many kitchen insurance policies carry a cleaning condition, and a TR19 certificate is how operators evidence it. We issue an online verifiable certificate after every clean.
