Locksgreen questions
Does being near the coast affect kitchen extract cleaning in Locksgreen?
It can, as Locksgreen is within about 2 miles of the sea, where salt in the air is hard on metal. We look at fans, cowls and fixings for rust as well as grease.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Locksgreen?
That’s Isle of Wight council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Locksgreen. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
TR19 is not 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.
Which parts of the extract do you clean?
All of it, from the canopy through to the discharge. Sections with no access are listed on the report, and extra panels can be fitted.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Ask us for a fixed quote and we’ll typically reply within one working day.
Will the clean disrupt our service?
The clean is done when the kitchen isn’t cooking, working evenings, overnight or at weekends to suit you. We need the equipment switched off and cooled first.
Is Locksgreen in your area?
Yes. We work in Locksgreen and across the Isle of Wight, as part of our work across South East England and London. For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line and we will talk you through the next steps.
Kitchen extract cleaning in Locksgreen, done properly
Any kitchen we clean in Locksgreen gets exactly the same specification as everywhere else we work. The job starts with a survey and grease readings, then works through canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, fan and discharge. You get a TR19 certificate and a photo report at the end. Common call-outs are for proof of cleaning requested by an insurer and grease drips onto cooking equipment, across discharge points, canopies and hoods and vertical risers. For TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Locksgreen, one call covers the survey, the clean and the paperwork, wherever you are in the Isle of Wight.
A kitchen running fryers and chargrills all day builds up grease much faster than one that mostly steams and boils, so the interval is set by what you cook as well as how long.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Locksgreen kitchens: local notes
Sea air reaches Locksgreen, which sits within about 2 miles of the coast. Salt air speeds up corrosion of roof-level fans, discharge cowls and their fixings. Fire safety in Locksgreen falls to Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. In Locksgreen, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Isle of Wight council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as St Mary's Hospital (about 3.1 miles east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

How the job changes from site to site
Ductwork and risers
Risers take the extract up through floors to roof level, and grease runs down their walls and pools at the base. They’re cleaned through access points along their height.
Canopy and plenum
Behind the grease filters sits the plenum, which daily cleaning never reaches. We take the filters out and clean the plenum and housing thoroughly.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We are happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit ends with a dated report and pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
What a clean won’t put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- Blocked drains from a neglected grease trap (a separate service)
- Fire dampers that will not close (that needs damper testing and remedials)
- An undersized canopy or fan
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on in Locksgreen
- Plenums and filters
- Extract fans
- Horizontal duct runs
- Vertical risers
- Canopies and hoods
- Discharge points
Why act early in Locksgreen
Leaving the clean until the next refit does not make the grease go away. Fat that was soft and easy to remove hardens with heat and time, and that takes more work to shift. Staying on a regular cycle keeps each clean manageable. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Locksgreen rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before we start.

What affects the quote in Locksgreen
Your quote is based on your site. We consider:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- How big the system is
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.
What we need to know
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Send what you can of the following:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Any previous report or certificate
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, photos of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
The process
There are three stages on the day: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, and the sign-off is a written report with photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, which takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. If you can send pictures, we can arrive in Locksgreen knowing what to expect.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the whole system and its access points.
- Grease readings set the baseline, and a fixed quote follows.
- After the kitchen closes, we sheet the area and set up to contain grease and water.
- The treatment: heavy grease scraped out, then every part degreased to TR19® Grease.
- The sign-off: post-clean readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next clean date.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
Ask for a quote
To get a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. We normally come back within one working day.
Advice
Common problems we fix in Locksgreen
We often find duct sections that haven’t been cleaned since they were installed. The usual reason is a lack of access panels, so those sections were never reached. Grease in those sections keeps building out of sight.
The symptoms we are asked about most are:
- Stale cooking odours from the system
- An extract that has never been cleaned to TR19
- Grease dripping from the canopy or filters
- An inspection that picked up a dirty extract
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Swainston Manor is about 1.7 miles south), access may need planning.
What your quote should include
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or photos
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- Proof of insurance
