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 Ely: questions
Do you cover Ely?
Yes. Ely is 26 miles from our base at 29 Ivatt Way, Peterborough (about 50 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 Ely?
Cambridgeshire Fire and Rescue Service enforces the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 in Ely. 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 Ely?
East Cambridgeshire District Council carries out food hygiene inspections for businesses in Ely 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 Ely 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 Ely?
Kitchens in Ely 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 kitchen extraction be cleaned in Ely?
BESA TR19 Grease intervals depend on cooking hours a day: 12–16 hours every 3 months, 6–12 hours every 6 months, and 2–6 hours every 12 months. We confirm the right interval for your kitchen during a free site survey, then price the clean in writing.
Do we need TR19 cleaning to satisfy fire safety in Ely?
TR19 is BESA guidance, not law. The legal duty for fire safety in commercial kitchens is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, enforced in Ely by Cambridgeshire Fire and Rescue Service. A TR19 certificate from a clean carried out to BESA TR19 Grease is how operators evidence their cleaning routine.
What does a kitchen extract clean in Ely include?
We clean the full extraction route: canopy, filters, plenum, ductwork and fan. Each clean includes grease readings before and after, dated photographs, a post-clean verification report and a certificate anyone can verify online. We carry out a free site survey, then price the clean in writing.
