Kitchen duct cleaning in Little Coxwell
A closed kitchen is not earning, so the timing of a clean matters. Cleans are booked for evenings, overnight or weekends, or during holidays where a site closes for them. Equipment is switched off and left to cool, the area is sheeted, and the kitchen is handed back ready to cook. The work covers discharge points, vertical risers and extract fans, and people most often call us about fat running down the canopy edge and cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey. Kitchens in Little Coxwell book us for TR19 cleaning for three reasons: the insurer asked, the EHO asked, or the canopy is dripping. We handle the clean and the paperwork in one visit.
We clean every reachable part of the system in Little Coxwell: canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers and fan, then record anything that couldn’t be reached.
Somewhere as small as Little 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.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

What we are called out for in Little Coxwell
A lot of duct grease gets there because the filters let it through. Damaged, missing or overloaded filters let grease straight past, and from there it travels on to the fan.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- A smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction
- A new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history
- A system with no record of a TR19 clean
- Grease dripping from the canopy or filters
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Buscot Park is about 3.2 miles north-west), access may need planning.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- If they look at the system before pricing
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
What your team can do, and what needs us
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
Kitchen extracts in Little Coxwell
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 5 bars, pubs and nightclubs across Little Coxwell and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service covers Little Coxwell. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. Kitchens in Little Coxwell get their food hygiene inspections from Vale of White Horse council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
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.

Keeping the system healthy
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Tell us when the extract starts to drip or smell
- Never cook with filters missing or out of place
- Wipe the canopy down at the end of each day
- Keep the baffle filters clean
The certificate records when the clean was done, where and by whom. Keep it in the maintenance log with your fire risk assessment, so it’s to hand when an insurer, fire officer or EHO asks.
Tell whoever looks after the system when something changes. Drips, odours and fan noise often mean grease is building, and a grease thickness test can confirm it.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.

What we do, step by step
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system. For a village or hamlet like Little Coxwell, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- You send pictures or we visit, and the system is surveyed from canopy to discharge.
- Grease thickness is measured and the price is fixed before work starts.
- On the night, the equipment is off and cool and the kitchen is sheeted.
- We work through the system from the canopy to the fan and discharge.
- We re-test, photograph and send your certificate and photo report.
Before we arrive
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in

Little Coxwell: your questions answered
Do you work in villages like Little Coxwell?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Can you come to Little Coxwell after we close?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. It means the site in Little Coxwell keeps running as normal. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Where does the waste go?
We contain it and take it with us. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go rather than letting it spread.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. We keep the work contained and clean down when we finish.
How far ahead should we book?
Book as early as you can for planned work, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site in our area, with visits on a regular schedule.
What information do you need?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, plus photos of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.
Do insurers need proof of extract cleaning?
Many insurers ask for proof of regular cleaning to TR19, and many policies require it. An insurer may refuse or reduce a claim if there’s no evidence, so it’s worth checking your policy wording.
Why act early in Little Coxwell
There’s no law that names TR19, but the Fire Safety Order 2005 still applies. It puts a duty on the responsible person to assess and reduce fire risk, and in a kitchen that means keeping extract grease under control. Cleaning to TR19 is the recognised way to show you’ve done it. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before any work starts.

Different parts, different methods
Ductwork and risers
Grease builds up most where the duct turns. Those are among the points where we take readings before and after, so the report shows the difference.
Canopy and plenum
The canopy catches the vapour, and the plenum behind the filters is where it first condenses. We clean both inside and out, including the filter housing.
