TR19 cleaning in Peterborough
Peterborough has 1,273 registered food businesses on the Food Standards Agency register as of 25 September 2026. Of these, 321 are restaurants, cafés and canteens, 203 are takeaways and sandwich shops, and 330 are other catering premises. Pubs, bars and nightclubs account for 80, hotels and guest houses for 16, and schools, colleges and universities for 136. With so many kitchens cooking in the city, extraction systems need regular TR19 cleans to manage grease build-up and support fire safety.
Peterborough City Council is the food hygiene inspection authority for Peterborough, and Cambridgeshire Fire and Rescue Service enforces fire safety under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. TR19 is BESA guidance, not law; the legal duty is that order. Many kitchen insurance policies carry a cleaning condition, and a TR19 certificate is how operators evidence it. We clean to BESA TR19 Grease: canopy, filters, plenum, ductwork and fan, with grease readings before and after, dated photographs and a post-clean verification report.
We are based in Peterborough, about 1.9 miles in a straight line from the city, and roughly 3 miles or 5 minutes by road. Peterborough sits within our core area of up to 45 miles, so we cover it regularly, including nearby towns and villages in the PE postcode area. Every clean is done by Umair Hussain, BESA Academy-qualified (GHT3 and GHO3), and we have completed TR19 cleans with verification reports for 3 kitchens in Cambridgeshire.
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 Peterborough: questions
Do you cover Peterborough?
Yes. Peterborough is 2 miles from our base at 29 Ivatt Way, Peterborough (about 5 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 Peterborough?
Cambridgeshire Fire and Rescue Service enforces the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 in Peterborough. 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 Peterborough?
Peterborough City Council carries out food hygiene inspections for businesses in Peterborough 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 Peterborough 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 Peterborough?
Kitchens in Peterborough 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 Peterborough kitchen have a TR19 clean?
BESA guidance ties cleaning frequency to daily cooking hours. Kitchens operating 12–16 hours a day should be cleaned every 3 months, 6–12 hours every 6 months, and 2–6 hours every 12 months. The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 is the legal duty, and TR19 is guidance rather than law. We assess your kitchen during a free site survey and recommend a written schedule.
Do Peterborough City Council food hygiene inspections check extraction cleaning?
Peterborough City Council runs food hygiene inspections for Peterborough. Fire safety is enforced separately by Cambridgeshire Fire and Rescue Service under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. Our BESA TR19 Grease clean produces dated photographs and a post-clean verification report you can keep for your own records or show to an inspector.
What does a TR19 kitchen extract clean in Peterborough include?

Every clean is done by Umair Hussain, who is BESA Academy-qualified (GHT3 and GHO3). Pricing is provided in writing after a free site survey.
