Questions from Marshborough
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Marshborough during the holidays?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. The FSA’s register shows about 2 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Marshborough. Send us your term dates when you ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and we will fit the work in.
Is Marshborough within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, to suit the system and how it’s used.
How do you protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. We keep the work contained and leave the area clean.
Can you fit access panels in our ductwork?
Yes, extra panels can be fitted. It means more of the duct can be cleaned next time, and the report will show where they’re needed.
How do you clean inside the ductwork?
Through access panels along the duct. Thick deposits are removed by hand before degreasing, such as degreasers, hot water or steam.
Can you price the work without visiting?
In many cases, yes. Photos of the system and the access, plus your opening hours and last report, are often enough. Where we cannot see enough, we arrange a survey.
How often should kitchen ducts be cleaned?
It follows the same interval as the whole extract, from every 3 months for heavy use to every 12 months for light use. Readings tell you if it needs to be more often.
Ductwork cleaning in Marshborough, done properly
Ductwork in Marshborough 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 photos complete the record. Typical jobs include duct runs that can’t be reached and years of grease along the duct floor, on multi-storey ducts, access panels and attenuators.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

When it’s something else
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A failed fan motor at the end of the duct (a fan repair job)
- A damper stuck open in the duct
- Sections that can’t be reached safely without new access (those are recorded, and panels can be fitted)
If you are not sure, just call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we work on in Marshborough
- Attenuators
- Multi-storey ducts
- Bends and junctions
- Horizontal duct runs
- Vertical risers
- Access panels
Between visits
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Flag drips from the duct straight away
- Leave a way through to the access panels
- Store the certificate with the fire risk assessment
- Run the extract fan throughout service
Any section of duct we couldn’t reach is listed on the report, with the reason. We can fit access panels so those sections are cleaned next time.
Book the next duct clean before the date passes. If the kitchen starts cooking longer hours, the interval may need to shorten, and grease thickness testing will show it.
Marshborough kitchens: local notes
The FSA’s data shows about 7 pubs, bars and clubs registered in Marshborough and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. The fire and rescue service for Marshborough is Kent Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. In Marshborough, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Dover council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.

Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Fat dripping from the ductwork
- Duct runs with no cleaning record
- Sections of duct with no access panels
- A grease test showing the duct is overdue
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Mary the Virgin or anywhere around Marshborough, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
What your quote should include
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered

- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
What the work involves, part by part
Bends and transitions
Wherever the duct turns or changes size, grease builds up. The air slows and drops its load, so we clean these points carefully.
Horizontal duct runs
Flat runs of duct link the canopy to the riser or the outside wall. They collect grease as the air cools and slows, so each section is cleaned through its access panels.
