TR19 is BESA guidance, not law.

BESA intervals by cooking hours a day are: 12–16 hours every 3 months, 6–12 hours every 6 months, 2–6 hours every 12 months. We have certified 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.

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.
