How we handle ductwork cleaning in Marsh Green
Between the canopy and the fan runs the ductwork, hidden above ceilings and inside walls. Grease settles along every metre of it, and that is where a kitchen fire can travel. We clean it from the inside, through access panels, to BESA TR19® Grease. The work covers attenuators, horizontal duct runs and multi-storey ducts, and the jobs we see most are high readings at a recent grease test and grease seeping out of the duct seams.
In a small place like Marsh Green, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Between visits
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Keep the fan on while anything is cooking
- Consider fitting panels where the report shows gaps
- Make sure filters are seated properly
- Diarise the next duct clean
File the paperwork in the maintenance log. An insurer, fire officer or EHO may ask to see it, and the pictures make the duct’s condition easy to see.
Keep to the cleaning interval on the report. If the kitchen starts cooking longer hours, the interval may need to shorten, and grease thickness testing will show it.
How the job changes from site to site
Multi-storey and shared buildings
Long ducts in larger buildings can mean several visits. Visits are planned around the building’s hours, out of hours where possible.
Access panels
We can fit new access panels where the duct needs them, so the next clean reaches more of the system. We will recommend where they should go.
Kitchen extracts in Marsh Green
Food Standards Agency records list about 12 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 9 takeaways within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Marsh Green. Wherever those kitchens cook under a canopy, the horizontal runs and risers need cleaning as well as the hood. Marsh Green sits within the area of Kent Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. Environmental health officers from Sevenoaks council inspect food businesses in Marsh Green. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Queen Victoria Hospital is the nearest hospital to Marsh Green, about 3.8 miles south-west. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Marsh Green Mission Church or elsewhere in Marsh Green, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

What happens on the day
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, carry out the ductwork cleaning, clear away and hand over the paperwork. On site, the work takes anything from a few hours to several visits, depending on the length of duct. Somewhere as small as Marsh Green, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- The duct route is surveyed and every access point found.
- Grease thickness is measured at set points.
- Once the kitchen has closed, we protect the area and open the panels.
- Heavy deposits come out by hand, then each section is degreased.
- We close up, re-test, photograph and record anything out of reach.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive

Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A duct clean needed for an insurer
- Fat dripping from the ductwork
- Grease pooling at the foot of the riser
- Duct runs that can’t be reached

Marsh Green questions
Is Marsh Green within the area you cover?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Marsh Green is covered. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you come to Marsh Green after we close?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Marsh Green needn’t be disturbed. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
What do you do with what you remove?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. None of it is left on site.
What about areas you cannot get to?
They’re marked on the report. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, which we can install.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Typically not. Booking the work out of hours means the site can carry on as normal. Bigger sites can be done in stages so parts stay in use.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. We always survey first, either from pictures and details you send or on a site visit. A fixed quote follows.
How often does extract ductwork need cleaning?
The duct is cleaned as part of the whole system, at intervals set by BESA guidance, ranging from 3-monthly to 12-monthly. Readings tell you if it needs to be more often.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so sites at different addresses can be planned together as one programme. Every site has its own report.
