TR19 cleaning in Huntingdon: questions
Do you cover Huntingdon?
Yes. Huntingdon is 19 miles from our base at 29 Ivatt Way, Peterborough (about 30 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 Huntingdon?
Cambridgeshire Fire and Rescue Service enforces the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 in Huntingdon. 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.

Huntingdonshire District Council carries out food hygiene inspections for businesses in Huntingdon 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 Huntingdon 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.

Kitchens in Huntingdon 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.

BESA TR19 Grease guidance suggests intervals based on hours of cooking each day: every 3 months for 12–16 hours, every 6 months for 6–12 hours, and every 12 months for 2–6 hours. TR19 is guidance, not law. The legal duty is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, and many kitchen insurance policies carry a cleaning condition.
