Questions from Great Coxwell
Who is the fire and rescue service for Great Coxwell?
Fire safety enforcement in Great Coxwell is handled by Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Can the work in Great Coxwell be done at night or at weekends?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The site is handed back ready to open. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Who is the responsible person?
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, it’s the responsible person: often the employer, owner or occupier. In shared or managed buildings, a landlord, facilities manager or managing agent can share the duty.
What do you do with what you remove?
We take it away at the end of the visit. While we work, it’s kept contained so the area stays clean.
Do you offer extract fan cleaning separately?
Yes, where it makes sense. A coated fan often means the duct before it is coated too, but the choice is yours.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes, of course. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we’ll suggest a schedule and quote for it.
Should the extract fan be cleaned as part of TR19?
Yes. TR19® Grease covers the whole system, fan included. It’s isolated, opened and cleaned along with the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts and discharge.
What accreditations do you have?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
Extract fan cleaning in Great Coxwell, done properly
The fan is cleaned as part of every full TR19® Grease clean, but some fans need cleaning between full cleans, especially when it has started to vibrate or sound rough. A fan-only clean is recorded as exactly that. We are often asked to deal with burning smells from the fan area and an extract fan with no cleaning record, on discharge points, axial fans and in-line fans.
Somewhere as small as Great Coxwell, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

Keeping the system healthy
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Make sure the fan is included each time
- Do not store items in front of the fan’s access point
- Watch for grease marks around the outlet
- File the fan’s report with your other records
We take away the grease and dirty water from the fan clean. Wherever the fan is, the area around it is cleaned down.
Make sure the fan is reachable. A fan that can be reached safely is a fan that gets cleaned, whether it’s on a roof, in a ceiling or on a wall.
What happens if it’s left?
Grease on the impeller makes the fan less efficient. Airflow at the canopy drops and the kitchen gets hotter and smokier and the motor works harder. In a small place like Great Coxwell, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Great Coxwell
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
When something else is needed
In fairness, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- Damaged fan blades
- A fan that was never right for the kitchen
- Wiring faults to the fan
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will say what we think before you book.
What the work covers
- Axial fans
- Centrifugal fans
- Discharge points
- Roof-mounted fans
- In-line fans
- Fan housings
The process
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and it goes on the report too. The visit takes an hour or two for most single fans. Somewhere like Great Coxwell, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- The fan is found and its type, access and isolation checked.
- We isolate the power before opening the housing.
- We scrape the heavy grease from the blades and housing.
- Blades, housing and surrounds are degreased with care around the electrics.
- It’s closed up, run, checked and photographed for the report.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
Get a fixed quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

How we price extract fan cleaning
The price is fixed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you’ll get one fixed quote.
What we need to know
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Useful things to send:
- The site address and the type of premises
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Problems your staff have spotted
For extract fan cleaning in Great Coxwell, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email. Tell us what kind of premises it is and when it’s open, and send photos or your last report if you can. We usually send a fixed quote within one working day.
Different parts, different methods
Kitchens with long cooking hours
A long-hours kitchen cannot afford a fan failure. A clean fan is less likely to strain, and our 24/7 emergency callout is there if it happens anyway.
Wall fans
With little duct before them, wall fans collect grease fast. They may need cleaning as often as the canopy, which grease readings will show.
Extract fan cleaning around Great Coxwell
Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service covers Great Coxwell. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. Food hygiene inspections in Great Coxwell are the job of Vale of White Horse council’s environmental health team. 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.
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. If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Buscot Park is about 2.6 miles north-west), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Giles or elsewhere in Great Coxwell, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
