Extract fan cleaning in Little Coxwell, done properly
A clean fan is not a repaired fan. If we find worn bearings, a struggling motor or damage to the impeller, we’ll tell you and fan repair or replacement is something we also do. You get an honest view of the fan’s condition. Typical jobs include a fan shaking on its mounts and rough running from the extract fan, on centrifugal fans, roof-mounted fans and axial fans.
In a village or hamlet like Little Coxwell, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

Grease, kitchens and Little Coxwell
The Food Standards Agency lists about 5 pubs and bars as registered food businesses in Little Coxwell and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. In Little Coxwell, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Vale of White Horse council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. Little Coxwell sits within the area of Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Mary or anywhere around Little Coxwell, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. Buscot Park, about 3.2 miles north-west, is one of the historic houses near Little Coxwell; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions. Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Little Coxwell is Faringdon Day Hospital, about 1.2 miles north.

What staff can safely do
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
Keeping the system healthy
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Look for grease stains near the discharge
- Notice when the fan starts to sound different
- Check filters are seated before cooking
- Keep the fan on whenever the range is lit
When we’ve finished, the fan is reassembled and run. Anything we notice, like noise, vibration or a worn part, goes on the report, so you can plan any repair.
Run the fan throughout cooking. Grease settles faster when the air stops moving, so keeping it running helps keep it clean.
What happens if it’s left?
A fan that sounds rough in Little Coxwell is often telling you the extract needs a clean. If the fan is coated, the duct before it normally is too, so it’s worth checking the whole system. If the system at a site near Little Coxwell fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered and we’ll price it together.
