About our extract fan cleaning in Lockerley
A clean fan is not a repaired fan. Anything that looks worn or damaged goes on the report and fan repair or replacement is something we also do. You’ll know whether the fan just needed cleaning or something more. If you have grease escaping from the fan outlet and vibration from an unbalanced impeller, we can help.
For a kitchen in or near Lockerley, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That is why every job is written up in a report with photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
What a clean won’t put right
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- A failed motor or worn bearings (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
- A faulty speed controller or isolator
- An undersized fan that can’t cope
If you are not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer.
Parts of the system we cover
- Fan housings
- Axial fans
- Centrifugal fans

Common problems we fix in Lockerley
Fans that are hard to reach are often the ones that get missed. A fan that has never been cleaned can be heavily coated, and the report will show it.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Grease escaping from the fan outlet
- A fan that no longer moves enough air
- An extract fan with no cleaning record
- Thick grease on the impeller and casing
For schools such as Lockerley Church of England Endowed Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.
What to look for in a quote

- Whether the figure could change on the day
- What happens if part of the system cannot be accessed
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or pictures
How the visit works
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and the same goes into the written report. All told, the work takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. Somewhere as small as Lockerley, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- Diagnosis first: we look for grease, noise and vibration.
- Once isolated, we open the fan up.
- The impeller is cleaned blade by blade so it runs balanced.
- Housing, outlet and the area around the motor are cleaned.
- The fan goes back into service with a report on its condition.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
Getting a quote
To get a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We usually come back within one working day.

Why act early in Lockerley
A greasy fan at the discharge can spread grease onto the roof or wall around it. It marks the area around the outlet and leaves more fuel outside, which is one more reason to keep it clean. Somewhere as small as Lockerley, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we will price it together.

Lockerley: your questions answered
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Lockerley?
The local authority for Lockerley is Test Valley council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Can you get to a site in Lockerley?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Which sectors do you work in?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. Work is timed around how each site runs.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, every time. We diagnose before we treat: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it, and the quote is based on that.
How long will it take to clean the fan?
That depends on the fan’s size, its position and how much grease there is. As a guide, it takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits.
What happens to the waste?
It’s contained and taken away. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on rather than letting it spread.
Do you repair extract fans as well as clean them?
Cleaning removes grease, but it cannot fix worn parts. We repair and replace extract fans as well, with a fixed quote first.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site across London and the South East, with visits on a regular schedule.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Keeping the system healthy
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Check filters are seated before cooking
- Do not turn the fan off mid-service
- Watch for grease marks around the outlet
- Do not store items in front of the fan’s access point
A full system clean includes a TR19 certificate from the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. A fan-only clean is recorded in the photo report.
Listen to the fan. New noise or vibration often means grease is building on the impeller, and catching it early keeps it a cleaning job.
What extract fan cleaning looks like in Lockerley
Fire safety in Lockerley falls to Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. In Lockerley, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Test Valley council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St John or anywhere around Lockerley, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Romsey Community Hospital is the nearest hospital to Lockerley, about 4.9 miles south-east.
