How we handle ductwork cleaning in West Marden
No two duct runs are the same, in West Marden or anywhere else. A few metres to an outside wall, or a riser up through the building to a roof fan. The survey traces the route, so we know where to get in and how long it will take. If you have duct runs that can’t be reached and fat dripping from the ductwork, we can put it right.
In a village or hamlet like West Marden, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Grease, kitchens and West Marden
It’s Chichester council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in West Marden. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. West Marden, about 53 miles from central London, is within our usual area. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you.

Between visits
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted whenever you cook
- Diarise the next duct clean
- Ask for a grease thickness test if the kitchen gets busier
- Ask us about extra access panels where sections can’t be reached
The report names every part of the duct that couldn’t be reached and why. We can fit access panels so those sections are cleaned next time.
Have access panels fitted where sections cannot be reached. It does not stop grease forming, but it stops it building unseen.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
How it works
Everything the job needs comes with us, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. On site, the work takes a few hours for a short run, longer for long runs and tall risers. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to West Marden.
- First the duct route is traced and every access point noted.
- We measure grease thickness at set points before cleaning.
- Access panels are opened and heavy deposits scraped out by hand.
- The duct is degreased with the method that suits the grease, from degreasers to hot water or steam.
- We test again, take photos and note any part that couldn’t be reached.
Preparing for the visit
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- 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

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
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. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
