How we handle extract fan cleaning in Locksgreen
In Locksgreen, as everywhere we work, the fan follows a set routine: we isolate it, open the housing, scrape the impeller and degrease the lot. Your report shows the impeller as we found it and as we left it. If you have a fan that has never been cleaned and an extract fan that vibrates or rattles, we can put it right.
For a kitchen in or near Locksgreen, 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 to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

Grease, kitchens and Locksgreen
The coast is only about 2 miles from Locksgreen. Salt in the air is hard on rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings, so we check them for corrosion as well as grease. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Locksgreen. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. It’s Isle of Wight council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Locksgreen. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; St Mary's Hospital is the nearest hospital to Locksgreen, about 3.1 miles east.
Locksgreen is about 3 miles west of Newport, in the Isle of Wight. Sites in Locksgreen get the same service as everywhere we cover: diagnosis first, a fixed price, out-of-hours working where needed and a written report with pictures. Locksgreen is one of 125 towns, villages and districts in the Isle of Wight we cover for commercial clients. We also work in Southampton, about 14 miles from Locksgreen.
All of PO30 is covered for extract fan cleaning, from the main roads to the quietest streets. Nearby, we also carry out extract fan cleaning in Porchfield (1 mile north-east), Newtown (1 mile west), Great Thorness (1 mile north-east), Forest Side (2 miles east) and Noke Common (3 miles east).

What’s near Locksgreen
We work in commercial kitchens and buildings around Sportsman's Rest pub and the streets around them. Well-known places in the area include Calbourne Water Mill And Rural Museum (3 miles south-west) and Carisbrooke Castle (3.1 miles south-east). Green spaces nearby include Brighstone Down.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Do you need extract fan cleaning in Locksgreen?
A fan collects more grease when the filters let more through. When filters don’t seal, grease goes straight through to the fan, so the fan takes far more than it should.
Look out for any of the following:
- Vibration from an unbalanced impeller
- A fan that hums, whines or rumbles
- Grease around the motor and its mounts
- Hot, greasy smells near the fan
Swainston Manor, about 1.7 miles south, is one of the historic houses near Locksgreen; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.

Multi-site and managed buildings
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.

FAQs for Locksgreen
Is Locksgreen within the area you cover?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Locksgreen included. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Does the sea air around Locksgreen make a difference to extract fan cleaning?
It can, as Locksgreen is within about 2 miles of the sea, where salt in the air is hard on metal. Outdoor metalwork near the sea is worth inspecting at every visit.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Typically not. Out-of-hours visits keep the disruption down. Larger jobs can be phased over several visits to keep things running.
Can you clean the fan on its own?
Yes, if the fan needs it. A coated fan often means the duct before it is coated too, but the choice is yours.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, along with a few photos and any previous report.
How long does extract fan cleaning take?
That depends on the fan’s size, its position and how much grease there is. Typically it takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach.
How much notice should we give?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
What does extract fan cleaning cost?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Ask us for a fixed quote and we will normally reply within one working day.
Keeping the system healthy
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- Run the extract throughout cooking
- Listen for new noises or vibration from the fan
- Don’t store items in front of the fan’s access point
- Note any drop in extraction at the canopy
If the fan needs more than a clean, we will say so plainly. Fan repair and replacement are services we offer too, so you have one point of contact.
Keep the route to the fan clear. Clear access means it’s never left out of a clean, whether it’s on a roof, in a ceiling or on a wall.
What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
Sites vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- The condition we find in the survey
- The times the site is available
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re unsure, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
What we need to know
There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:
- The site address and the type of premises
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before we start.
How it works
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. The visit takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Locksgreen before we set off.
- We locate the fan and plan how to reach and isolate it.
- It’s isolated so it can’t run while we work.
- Grease is scraped off the impeller blades and casing.
- The fan is degreased, taking care around the motor.
- We reassemble, run and photograph the fan.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
