Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Oxfordshire. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
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.
Grease filter exchange in Little Coxwell
Each visit is quick and tidy. The greasy filters come out, clean ones go in, and we check they’re seated with no gaps. If something looks wrong, we tell you. If you have a canopy running with filters missing and weak extraction at the canopy, we can put it right.
For a kitchen in or near Little Coxwell, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

How the visit works
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes a short visit, depending on how many filters the canopies hold, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Little Coxwell, let us know and we will plan around it.
- 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.
- We tell you if the plenum or canopy needs a clean.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Find the previous report, if there is one

Little Coxwell kitchens: local notes
Food Standards Agency records list about 12 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 8 takeaways and sandwich shops within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Little Coxwell. Each canopy among them has filters that load with grease and need swapping or cleaning. It’s Vale of White Horse council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Little Coxwell. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service covers Little Coxwell. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Faringdon Community College tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Mary, or anywhere in Little Coxwell, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

Near you in Little Coxwell
Around Little Coxwell, our work takes us to kitchens and buildings near Faringdon Infant School and Eagle Tavern and the streets around them. Well-known places in the area include Faringdon Day Hospital (1.2 miles north) and Faringdon Museum (1.4 miles north). Not far away are Badbury Hill.
Why deal with it now?
Clogged filters choke the extract. The kitchen gets hotter and smokier, and the fan works harder to pull air through. A regular exchange keeps the airflow where it should be. Rural sites cannot always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.

Part by part
Mesh filters
Grease lodges deep in the layers of a mesh filter, which makes hand-washing hard work.
Canopy filter housings
The filter housing holds each filter at an angle in the canopy. A damaged housing leaves gaps.
What we’re called out for in Little Coxwell
Hand-washed filters often come back still greasy. Grease hides in the folds of a baffle or the layers of a mesh, and a quick rinse leaves it there.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Filter washing that keeps being missed
- Filters that leave gaps in the canopy
- Grease collecting in the filter channels
- A canopy running with filters missing
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 Little Coxwell, about 1.2 miles north.

Common questions in Little Coxwell
Who is the fire and rescue service for Little Coxwell?
That is Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Do you work at weekends in Little Coxwell?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. Your customers, staff or residents in Little Coxwell needn’t be disturbed. When you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us, mention when the site is quiet.
Will you tell us when the next visit is due?
Yes. The recommended date is on the report. For kitchen extracts, BESA’s minimum intervals run from every 3 months for heavy use to every 12 months for light use, and fire dampers need testing at least once a year.
How long does the visit take?
It depends on the size of the system, but for many sites it takes well under an hour for most canopies. We will give you a better idea when we quote.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we’ve been trading since 2009.
Do you handle baffle and mesh filters?
The common types of grease filter: baffle and mesh. Tell us what you have when you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will confirm it on site.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a small pub to a hospital. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, every time. We diagnose before we treat: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it, and the quote is based on that.
Aftercare tips
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Clear anything stored on or near the canopy
- Keep filter exchange and TR19 cleaning on the same plan
- Keep canopy surfaces wiped down
- Make sure no filter is left out
We tell you if we spot anything in the canopy that needs attention. It can be a sign that a full TR19® clean is due, and we can arrange it.
A kitchen that’s getting busier needs its filters changed more often. Changing the interval early stops grease building up unseen behind the canopy.
