What your team can do, and what needs 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.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
About our grease filter exchange in Coxford
Across Coxford, our filter exchange suits restaurants, pubs, cafés, schools, care homes and other kitchens, from a single canopy to several. We can come before or after service, so cooking isn’t interrupted. The work covers wall canopies, mesh filters and restaurants and pubs, and the jobs we see most are missing filters in the filter bank and filters left unwashed on busy weeks.
Size does not change the work: a kitchen in a place like Coxford gets the whole system cleaned, canopy to discharge. We plan the visit around your hours, with the journey sorted in advance.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

What affects the quote in Coxford
Every site gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The scale of the work
- The condition of the system
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- A single visit or a regular plan
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.
What we need to know
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Any previous report or certificate
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
If you need grease filter exchange in Coxford, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos. Let us know the site type and the opening hours, plus photos or the previous report if they’re to hand. A fixed quote usually follows within one working day.

Signs you need grease filter exchange in Coxford
Filters get bent and damaged with handling. Damaged filters do not sit flush, leaving gaps for grease to slip through.
The symptoms we’re asked about most are:
- Grease left in baffles after washing
- Weak extraction at the canopy
- Missing filters in the filter bank
- Filter washing that keeps being missed
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Shirley Warren Primary & Nursery School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

- How VAT is shown on the quote
- Whether they recommend a next date
- What paperwork you get at the end
What happens on the day
Every visit runs to the same pattern: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, do the work, tidy up and leave you the report. On site, the work takes anything from a few minutes to an hour or so, depending on the number of filters. Because the survey comes first, a visit to Coxford can typically be finished without a second trip.
- We look at the canopies and the condition of the filters.
- We note any filters that are bent, damaged or missing.
- Greasy filters are swapped for clean ones.
- The filters are checked for fit before we go.
- Anything that needs attention, such as a greasy plenum, is pointed out.
How to prepare
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
Getting a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

Baffle filters
When baffles fill with grease, less air gets through. A clean exchange set brings the airflow back.
School, care home and staff kitchens
A longer exchange interval may suit lighter cooking. We agree the schedule to match.
Grease filter exchange in Coxford: the local picture
Sea air reaches Coxford, which sits within about 2 miles of the coast. Salt air speeds up corrosion of roof-level fans, discharge cowls and their fixings. The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 27 pubs, bars and clubs across Coxford and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Fire safety in Coxford falls to Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near St Jude's Church, or anywhere in Coxford, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Coxford is Princess Anne Hospital, about less than half a mile east.

FAQs for Coxford
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Coxford?
Food hygiene inspections in Coxford are carried out by Southampton council. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Coxford in the summer holidays?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. Around Coxford, the Food Standards Agency lists about 30 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Just ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with your term dates and we will plan around them.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for anything that can’t wait until a planned visit. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
Are you accredited?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We have been trading since 2009 and we’re fully insured.
Does the report say when we need you again?
Yes. The interval depends on how much the system is used and what we find and the report sets out why.
How long does the visit take?
The work itself takes well under an hour for most canopies. Bigger or more complicated systems take longer, and the quote will say how long.
What should go in our maintenance log?
The reports and certificates from each visit, plus your own logs. They’re what an insurer, fire officer or EHO may ask for, so keep them where they can be found quickly.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and we’ll quote them together.
Between visits
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Tell us if a filter is bent or damaged
- Clean the canopy surfaces regularly
- Mention it if the kitchen gets busier
- Make sure we can reach the canopy on exchange day
We tell you if we spot anything in the canopy that needs attention. That might mean bringing a TR19® clean forward and we can book that in.
Clean filters plus regular full cleans keep the system in good health. Setting both up on a schedule means neither slips.
