Schools, hospitals and care homes
Inspections are planned around mealtimes and holidays to avoid disruption.
TR19 inspection in Lockerley
After a clean, post-clean verification checks the result, with new readings and pictures of the cleaned areas. It shows whether the system was left in the condition the paperwork describes. We’re often asked to deal with post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean and sites with gaps in their extract records, across deposit thickness tests, insurer audits and wet film thickness tests.
In a small place like Lockerley, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with pictures, 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 ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Lockerley kitchens: local notes
It’s Test Valley council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Lockerley. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Lockerley. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
Where a hall near Church of St John, or anywhere in Lockerley, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Lockerley Church of England Endowed Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.
Lockerley is about 5 miles north-west of Romsey, in Hampshire. Whether your site is in the middle of Lockerley or further out, we cover TR19 inspection for every kind of premises, from a single unit to a large public building. Across Hampshire, we cover 683 places, Lockerley among them. Southampton is in our area too, about 11 miles from Lockerley.
Work in SO51 follows the same survey, fixed quote and written report as everywhere else we cover. If you need TR19 inspection at premises on Butlers Close, Oval Road and Clem's Way or anywhere close by, our technicians can take on the work. We also cover Carter's Clay (1 mile south-east), Dunbridge (1 mile east), Mottisfont (2 miles east), Kimbridge (2 miles east) and Awbridge (2 miles south-east). Further out, we also cover Winchester (11 miles east), Eastleigh (11 miles south-east), Andover (13 miles north), Totton (8 miles south), Chandler's Ford (9 miles east) and Hedge End (14 miles south-east).
What’s near Lockerley
Locally, jobs take us to businesses close to Kings Arms Public House. The nearest railway station is Mottisfont & Dunbridge station, roughly 1.2 miles east. Well-known places in the area include Romsey Community Hospital (4.9 miles south-east).
What happens on the day
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the pictures you sent. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system. The timing of a visit to Lockerley is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- Post-clean verification is booked once the clean is done.
- We open the access points used on the clean.
- Grease readings are taken again at set points.
- We photograph each area to record how it was left.
- The results are reported, with anything missed flagged.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
Ask for a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your photos and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before work begins.
Advice
What we are called out for in Lockerley
Not every section of a kitchen extract is easy to get to, so those sections can be skipped time and again. An inspection of a system in Lockerley shows where access panels are missing, so the gaps can be closed.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits
- Sites with gaps in their extract records
- Checking the result of a recent clean
- Parts of the system left out of past cleans
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Mottisfont Abbey is about 1.8 miles east), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.
Comparing quotes
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
- Whether a survey comes first
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Keeping the system healthy
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Flag changes in how much frying the kitchen does
- Share inspection reports with your insurer or broker when asked
- Diary the next grease test and clean
- Clean or swap grease filters as often as the kitchen needs
Each report suggests the next clean and the next test, based on the readings and how the kitchen is used.
Keep certificates, reports and readings in one place so the history is easy to show.
For landlords and multi-site operators
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Lockerley: your questions answered
Which council inspects kitchens in Lockerley?
The local authority for Lockerley is Test Valley council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Can the work in Lockerley be done at night or at weekends?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The work in Lockerley can fit around your hours. Just call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with your opening times and we will plan around them.
How much notice do you need?
The more notice, the better, especially for out-of-hours work. We usually quote within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
Can you price the work without visiting?
In many cases, yes. With good pictures, the site type and your last report, we can price many jobs. Larger or hidden systems need a survey on site first.
What happens to the waste?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, including grease, debris and dirty water. None of it is left on site.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Just the basics: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and the last report help too. After that, simply phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line and we will talk you through the next steps.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. For many sites, pictures and a few details are enough, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
What affects the quote in Lockerley
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- The size of the system
- What state the system is in
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You will have a fixed price before we start.
What we need to know
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. We normally come back within one working day.
