How we handle canopy cleaning in Great Coxwell
We have been cleaning kitchen canopies since we started trading in 2009. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we are fully insured, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. The work covers wall canopies, plenum chambers and canopy light fittings, and people most often call us about overflowing grease troughs and gutters and a greasy hood noticed by an inspector.
Work in a small place like Great Coxwell starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with photos after every visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

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. On site, the work takes a few hours, depending on the size of the canopy and how much grease has built up. For a village or hamlet like Great Coxwell, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- We start by checking the canopy and what’s behind its filters.
- We protect everything below once it has cooled.
- Thick grease is scraped away before the canopy is degreased.
- We finish the plenum, troughs and canopy and check them over.
- You get pictures of the result and a recommended date for the next clean.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Move anything stored near the system
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions

Managing agents and facilities teams in Great Coxwell
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Oxfordshire. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
What your team can do, and what needs us
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. 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.
Do you need canopy cleaning in Great Coxwell?
Moisture in the air mixes with the grease on the canopy. Water vapour condenses on the cooler canopy surfaces and drips, carrying grease with it. The result is sticky streaks and drips onto the range.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Wet, greasy drips from the hood
- A hood coated in old grease
- Filters that clog soon after cleaning
- Poor capture at the hood
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Faringdon Day Hospital is the nearest hospital to Great Coxwell, about 1.4 miles north-east.

Great Coxwell: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Great Coxwell?
Yes. Great Coxwell is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Who is the fire and rescue service for Great Coxwell?
Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Great Coxwell. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not normally. We work when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends, so the site can carry on as normal.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, to suit the system and how it’s used.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19® is the recognised way to show grease is under control.
What happens to the waste?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. None of it is left on site.
Are you insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work and have been trading since 2009.
How far ahead should we book?
For planned work, earlier is better, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
What affects the quote in Great Coxwell
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- The times the site is available
- The scale of the work
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Parking and loading at the site
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before work begins.
Asking for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Useful things to send:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- The postcode and the type of business
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Why act early in Great Coxwell
Getting the canopy cleaned in Great Coxwell now saves a bigger job later. It takes an hour or two for one small canopy, longer where there are several, out of hours so service carries on. Left alone, grease keeps moving into the plenum and duct. Rural sites can’t always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
The cost depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.
Why us?
- We’re fully insured
- One contact for all your sites in London and the South East
- Accredited under CHAS and SafeContractor, with ISO 9001
- Fixed quotes from a survey or photos

What canopy cleaning looks like in Great Coxwell
Great Coxwell sits within the area of Oxfordshire 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. It’s Vale of White Horse council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Great Coxwell. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
