Ductwork cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Marden Thorn
Ductwork in Marden Thorn is cleaned the same thorough way as everywhere else we work: readings at set points, heavy grease scraped out by hand, then degreasing to suit the deposit. Post-clean readings and pictures complete the record. If you are dealing with a duct nobody has opened in years and duct runs that can’t be reached, we can put it right.
For a kitchen in or near Marden Thorn, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with pictures, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Why deal with it now?
A fire in a greasy duct is hard to reach and hard to stop. The duct can carry it to rooms, floors or roof spaces well away from the kitchen, which is why the duct matters as much as the canopy. In a place like Marden Thorn, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.

Keeping the system healthy
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Store the certificate with the fire risk assessment
- Consider fitting panels where the report shows gaps
- Make sure filters are seated properly
- Keep to the interval on the report
Access panels are closed and sealed back up after cleaning, and the area around them is cleaned down. Grease and dirty water are contained and removed.
Extra access panels mean more of the duct gets cleaned each time. It does not stop grease forming, but it stops it building unseen.
Marden Thorn kitchens: local notes
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 4 bars, pubs and nightclubs within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Marden Thorn. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Food hygiene inspections in Marden Thorn are the job of Maidstone council’s environmental health team. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. Marden Thorn is covered by Kent 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.
Whether the kitchen is in Marden Thorn itself or nearby, a TR19® clean covers the whole system, canopy to discharge. For a kitchen near Marden Thorn, the paperwork matters as much as the clean, so you get a certificate and photos every time.

Part by part
Bends and transitions
The join where the canopy meets the duct is a common hotspot. We reach it from the plenum side where possible.
Vertical risers
Risers carry the extract up through the building to the roof. Grease collects on the walls and at the foot of the riser, so the base is one of our test points.
What happens on the day
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and the rest is down to us. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Marden Thorn.
- First we diagnose: the route, the access and the grease levels.
- A fixed quote follows, based on what we found.
- We clean section by section, working from panel to panel.
- We take extra care at bends and at the foot of risers.
- The duct is signed off with readings, pictures and a next clean date.
Before we arrive
- Clear the space around the work
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
How to get 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.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
If your staff spot something 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 will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Marden Thorn: your questions answered
Which council inspects kitchens in Marden Thorn?
The local authority for Marden Thorn is Maidstone council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Do you cover smaller places like Marden Thorn?
Yes, Marden Thorn is part of our area, however small the site. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
How can I tell if my extract ducts are dirty?
We measure it. Using a Wet Film Thickness Test or Deposit Thickness Test, we check the grease at set points. BESA guidance says the mean shouldn’t exceed 200 microns, and 500 or more anywhere needs immediate spot cleaning.
What if part of the duct can’t be reached?
Ductwork needs access to be cleaned. We record those sections on the report and can fit access panels.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and we’ll quote them together.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and we can share the details when you need them.
What accreditations do you have?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We have been trading since 2009 and we are fully insured.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes, of course. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we’ll propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
