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.
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
Every section we can reach through access panels, 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.

TR19 cleaning in Leicester: questions
Do you cover Leicester?
Yes. Leicester is 36 miles from our base at 29 Ivatt Way, Peterborough (about 1 hr 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 Leicester?
Leicestershire Fire and Rescue Service enforces the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 in Leicester. 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 Leicester?
Leicester City Council carries out food hygiene inspections for businesses in Leicester 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 Leicester 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 Leicester?
Every clean is priced in writing after a free site survey, before any work starts. The price depends on the number of canopies, the length and access of the ductwork and the fan, which is why we survey first. The survey is free and there is no obligation.
