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 Kettering: questions
Do you cover Kettering?
Yes. Kettering is 24 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 Kettering?
Northamptonshire Fire and Rescue Service enforces the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 in Kettering. 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 Kettering?
North Northamptonshire Council carries out food hygiene inspections for businesses in Kettering 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 Kettering 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 Kettering?
Kitchens in Kettering 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 Kettering kitchen extraction system be cleaned under TR19?
The BESA TR19 Grease intervals depend on your cooking hours each day. If you cook for 12–16 hours, the interval is every 3 months; 6–12 hours, every 6 months; and 2–6 hours, every 12 months. We can assess your kitchen during a free site survey and confirm the right interval in writing.
Do we need a TR19 certificate for inspections in Kettering?
Food hygiene inspections in Kettering are run by North Northamptonshire Council. Fire safety is enforced by Northamptonshire Fire and Rescue Service under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. TR19 is BESA guidance, not law, but many kitchen insurance policies carry a cleaning condition, and a TR19 certificate is how operators evidence it.
