Part by part
Horizontal duct runs
The underside of a horizontal duct collects the most grease. We scrape out the heavy layer first, then the walls and roof are cleaned too.
Access panels
Every section of duct is cleaned through an access panel. Without them, parts of the duct can’t be reached, and TR19 expects them to be recorded.
How we handle ductwork cleaning in Marsworth
Every duct has its own route. Some run a short distance to an outside wall, others climb several floors to the roof. We map the route during the survey and finds every access point before we quote. If you’re dealing with a duct nobody has opened in years and hardened, baked-on grease in long horizontal runs, we can put it right, from horizontal duct runs, attenuators and multi-storey ducts onwards.
In a small place like Marsworth, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Ductwork cleaning in Marsworth: the local picture
The Food Standards Agency lists about 5 bars, pubs and nightclubs as registered food businesses across Marsworth and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Kitchens in Marsworth get their food hygiene inspections from Buckinghamshire council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. Marsworth sits within the area of Hertfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
Where a hall near Church of All Saints, or anywhere in Marsworth, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. For schools such as Marsworth Church of England Infant School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. Historic houses near Marsworth, such as Cholesbury Manor House about 4.6 miles south, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.

Between visits
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted whenever you cook
- Keep access panels clear of stored items
- Keep the fan on while anything is cooking
- Get panels fitted where the duct couldn’t be cleaned
You will have a recommended date for the next clean, worked out from the grease we found and how long you cook each day, in line with BESA guidance.
Extra access panels mean more of the duct gets cleaned each time. It does not stop grease forming, but it stops it building unseen.
How we price ductwork cleaning
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- How easy every part is to reach
- The size of the system
- A single visit or a regular plan
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re not sure what’s needed, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos for straight advice and a fixed quote.
Helping us quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- A few general shots of the system
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The site address and the type of premises
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
What ductwork cleaning can’t fix
Not every problem is solved by ductwork cleaning, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t put right:
- Sections that cannot be reached safely without new access (those are recorded, and panels can be fitted)
- Ductwork that was poorly designed
- Leaking duct joints that need repair
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly.

Your questions about ductwork cleaning in Marsworth
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Marsworth?
In Marsworth, it’s Buckinghamshire council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Can the work in Marsworth be done at night or at weekends?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The site is handed back ready to open. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we will book within them.
Are you insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work and have been trading since 2009.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, always. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it, and the quote is based on that.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
The law calls them the responsible person. It’s normally the employer, or whoever controls the building, and in shared buildings more than one person can have duties. Your lease and fire risk assessment should make it clear.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we’ll suggest a schedule and quote for it.
Do you work in Marsworth?
Yes. We work across Greater London, Surrey, Kent, Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Essex, Marsworth included.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line and we’ll talk you through the next steps.
How it works
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and it goes on the report too. The visit takes a shift or more, depending on the length of the runs and the number of access points. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Marsworth, let us know and we will plan around it.
- We start by working out how the duct runs and where it can be opened.
- Set points along the runs are tested for grease.
- Through the access panels, thick grease is removed by hand first.
- Horizontal runs and risers are then degreased by the method that suits the deposit.
- Readings and photos are repeated and any section we couldn’t reach is recorded.
Getting ready for the visit
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Move anything stored near the system
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
Ask for a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
