How we handle kitchen extract cleaning in Lockerley
Insurers often want evidence of regular TR19 cleaning, and some may refuse or reduce a claim when it’s missing. The certificate and photo report from each clean in Lockerley give you that record for the maintenance log. Typical jobs include a TR19 certificate needed for the insurer and a kitchen with no current TR19 certificate, across vertical risers, canopies and hoods and horizontal duct runs. Kitchens in Lockerley book us for TR19 cleaning for three reasons: the insurer asked, the EHO asked, or the canopy is dripping. We handle the clean and the paperwork in one visit.
BESA sets minimum intervals by hours of cooking a day: 3-monthly for heavy use, 6-monthly for moderate use and yearly for light use, with grease readings setting the real interval.
In a village or hamlet like Lockerley, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with photos, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

What kitchen extract cleaning can’t fix
Before booking, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Ductwork that is corroded, split or leaking (that is for a ductwork contractor)
- A grease trap that needs emptying
- Fire dampers that won’t close (that needs damper testing and remedials)
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will tell you honestly before you book.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
The process
Everything the job needs comes with us, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. On site, the work takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Lockerley before we set off.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the whole system and its access points.
- We record grease levels at set points, then fix the price.
- After the kitchen closes, we sheet the area and set up to contain grease and water.
- Heavy deposits are scraped by hand and the system degreased to TR19® Grease.
- Then the clean bill of health: readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next date.
Preparing for the visit
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas

Advice
Kitchen extract cleaning in Lockerley: the local picture
The fire and rescue service for Lockerley is Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract. Food hygiene inspections in Lockerley are the job of Test Valley council’s environmental health team. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Lockerley (Mottisfont Abbey is about 1.8 miles east), fitting access panels needs care. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St John, or anywhere in Lockerley, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- Keep grease collection points emptied
- Clean the grease filters regularly between TR19 cleans
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is lit
- Clean grease off the canopy surfaces regularly
The kitchen is left clean and ready for the next service. Waste grease and water are contained and removed, so you can start cooking as normal.
Wipe the canopy down regularly and empty grease troughs or collection points. It won’t replace a TR19 clean, but it slows what reaches the duct.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Lockerley
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Lockerley and across Hampshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
Lockerley: your questions answered
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Lockerley?
In Lockerley, it’s Test Valley council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Which fire authority looks after Lockerley?
That is Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, depending on what the system needs.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
The report shows them clearly. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, and we can fit those.
Do I have to clean my extract to TR19 by law?
TR19 isn’t written into law, but the Fire Safety Order 2005 does require the responsible person to manage fire risk. TR19 is the standard insurers and fire officers expect, and many policies require it.
Is a quote from photos possible?
Yes, if we can see what we need. Otherwise, we book a survey at a time that suits the site, and the quote follows that.
How much notice do you need?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.

What happens if it’s left?
If there’s a fire and the extract hasn’t been cleaned, the paperwork becomes the problem. Many insurers ask for proof of TR19 cleaning and may reduce or refuse a claim without it. A current certificate is far easier to produce than an explanation. In a small place like Lockerley, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.

When to call us in Lockerley
How fast grease builds up depends mostly on how long the kitchen cooks each day. BESA guidance sets minimum cleaning intervals of every 3 months for 12 to 16 hours a day, 6 months for 6 to 12 hours, and 12 months for 2 to 6 hours. Those are minimums, and grease readings can show a kitchen needs cleaning sooner.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- A system with no record of a TR19 clean
- Grease dripping from the canopy or filters
- An inspection that picked up a dirty extract
- Years of baked-on grease in the ducts
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Lockerley Church of England Endowed Primary School or anywhere near Lockerley, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.
