Ductwork cleaning in Great Coxwell
Every duct has its own route. A few metres to an outside wall, or a riser up through the building to a roof fan. We map the route during the survey and finds every access point before we quote. If you’re dealing with grease leaking from duct joints and years of grease along the duct floor, we can help.
For a kitchen in or near Great Coxwell, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, 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.
Each visit ends with a written report and pictures, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

How the job changes from site to site
Horizontal duct runs
Grease settles on the floor of a flat duct run. Thick deposits are scraped out by hand before degreasing, then the walls and roof are cleaned too.
Multi-storey and shared buildings
A duct that climbs several floors may be cleaned over more than one visit. Visits are planned around the building’s hours, out of hours where possible.
What ductwork cleaning looks like in Great Coxwell
Fire safety in Great Coxwell falls to Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. Kitchens in Great Coxwell get their food hygiene inspections from Vale of White Horse council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Giles or anywhere around Great Coxwell, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. School kitchens, at schools like Faringdon Community College for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

Do you need ductwork cleaning in Great Coxwell?
Grease in a duct running from a kitchen in Great Coxwell is as much a fire risk as in any building. Burning grease can carry fire through the ductwork to other rooms or floors, which is why the responsible person needs it under control.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- An insurer asking for TR19 evidence
- Thick deposits at the bottom of a vertical duct
- Sections of duct with no access panels
- Readings above 200 microns from a grease thickness test
Buscot Park, about 2.6 miles north-west, is one of the historic houses near Great Coxwell; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.

What a clean will not put right
In fairness, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- Fire dampers that don’t close (they need testing and remedials)
- Duct sections that need replacing
- A duct that is too small or badly routed for the kitchen (a design issue)

What else we do in Great Coxwell
Great Coxwell questions
Which council inspects kitchens in Great Coxwell?
Kitchens in Great Coxwell are inspected by Vale of White Horse council’s environmental health officers. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Who is the fire and rescue service for Great Coxwell?
Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Great Coxwell. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
How far ahead should we book?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a single café to a large school. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
Do we have to stop cooking while the ducts are cleaned?
Only while we are working, and we work around you. Most kitchens book overnight or weekend cleans, so no service is lost.
What happens if there aren’t enough access panels?
Sections out of reach are written down on the report, as TR19 expects. New panels can be fitted to reach them in future.
How is kitchen extract ductwork cleaned?
We get into the duct through its access panels. Thick deposits are removed by hand before degreasing, such as degreasers, hot water or steam.
How much does ductwork cleaning cost?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. To get one, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with the site type, opening hours and a few pictures.
Between visits
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted whenever you cook
- Report any grease dripping from duct joints
- Consider fitting panels where the report shows gaps
- Keep access panels clear of stored items
You’ll have a recommended date for the next clean, based on the readings and your daily cooking hours, in line with BESA guidance.
Have access panels fitted where sections cannot be reached. Grease you can reach is grease that gets removed.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
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.
The process
We’re used to working while the site is closed. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so the site can open as normal afterwards. On site, the work takes a shift or more, depending on the length of the runs and the number of access points. The timing of a visit to Great Coxwell is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- We start by working out how the duct runs and where it can be opened.
- We measure grease thickness at set points before cleaning.
- We open the panels and scrape out the heaviest grease.
- The duct is degreased with the method that suits the grease, from degreasers to hot water or steam.
- Readings and photos are repeated and any section we couldn’t reach is recorded.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Clear the space around the work
Ask for a quote
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Related advice
What happens if it’s left?
There’s no law that names TR19. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, including the grease inside the extract ductwork. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you’ll get one fixed quote.
