FAQs for Fyfield
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Fyfield?
Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Fyfield. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Do you work at weekends in Fyfield?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. Your customers, staff or residents in Fyfield needn’t be disturbed. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
How regularly do grease filters need exchanging?
It depends on how much and what the kitchen cooks. Kitchens that fry and grill all day need changes more often than kitchens that cook less. We agree the interval with you.
Do I get a report after the visit?
Yes. You get a written report with photos after every visit, covering the work, any areas we couldn’t access and the recommended next date. Kitchen extract cleans to TR19® Grease also get a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Is there a cleaning option for the filters we have?
Yes, filters can be cleaned on a schedule as well as exchanged. We will talk you through which suits your kitchen when you get in touch.
How long will you be on site?
That depends on the amount of work, but for many sites it takes well under an hour for most canopies. We’ll give you a better idea when we quote.
Does a filter exchange replace TR19 cleaning?
No, the two work together. TR19® cleaning covers the canopy, plenum, ductwork and fan and comes with a certificate and photo report.
Which accreditations do you hold?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We have been trading since 2009 and we are fully insured.
How we handle grease filter exchange in Fyfield
Grease filters are the first line of defence in a kitchen extract. Their job is to stop grease getting further into the system and they do it best when they’re clean. With grease filter exchange, clean filters replace greasy ones at regular intervals. If you are dealing with hand-washed filters that still look greasy and grease building up behind the canopy filters, we can put it right.
In a village or hamlet like Fyfield, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are usually a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.

What grease filter exchange looks like in Fyfield
There are about 5 restaurants, cafés and canteens in and around Fyfield, up to about a mile and a half out, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Clogged filters slow the airflow, and busy kitchens like these clog them fast. Environmental health officers from Vale of White Horse council inspect food businesses in Fyfield.

The fire and rescue service for Fyfield is 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.

What we’re called out for in Fyfield
Long cooking hours in Fyfield or anywhere else mean more grease on the filters. Heavy daily use means fast build-up, so it needs more frequent changes.
What we are most often called out for:
- Drips falling from the filters onto equipment
- Smoke and heat lingering under the hood
- A canopy running with filters missing
- Damaged filters letting grease past
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Nicholas, or anywhere in Fyfield, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
Before you book anyone
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
- Whether they recommend a next date
Aftercare tips
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Let us know if your cooking hours increase
- Clean the canopy surfaces regularly
- Never leave gaps in the filter bank
- Always run the extract while cooking
Between visits, check that every filter is still in place. Gaps let grease into the plenum, so let us know if one goes missing or gets damaged.
Filter exchange and TR19 cleaning work best together. A maintenance plan that covers both means neither slips.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
