Kitchen extract cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Marshborough
Duct Doctor has been cleaning kitchen extract systems since 2009. As a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, we clean to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 and are fully insured. The work covers canopies and hoods, discharge points and vertical risers, and common reasons people get in touch are a smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction and rancid smells from grease in the duct. Extraction cleaning, hood cleaning and TR19 duct cleaning all end up in the same place: a system that’s clean inside, not just on the surface, and a certificate that proves it.
Access decides how thorough a clean can be. Sections without access panels are recorded on the report, and new panels can be fitted so they’re cleaned next time.
Work in a small place like Marshborough starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

What kitchen extract cleaning cannot fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- Faulty fire dampers in the duct
- A fan motor that has burnt out
- A canopy that is too small or a system that was badly designed
If you are not sure, just call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will give you a straight answer.
Where we work
- Horizontal duct runs
- Discharge points
- Plenums and filters
- Extract fans
- Canopies and hoods
- Vertical risers
Leave it or put it right?
Every week without a clean adds another layer. Under BESA guidance, grease shouldn’t exceed a mean of 200 microns between cleans, and anywhere reaching 500 microns or more needs a spot clean straight away. The longer it’s left, the bigger the job becomes. With notice, the visit to Marshborough can be fitted around your bookings and events.
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.
What you get with us

Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Fire safety in Marshborough falls to Kent 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. Kitchens in Marshborough get their food hygiene inspections from Dover council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so each one has its own record.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Kent. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
What we do, step by step
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the pictures you sent. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. The timing of a visit to Marshborough is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- We survey the system, from your pictures or on site, canopy to discharge.
- We take grease readings at set points and send you a fixed quote.
- On the night, the equipment is off and cool and the kitchen is sheeted.
- We work through the system from the canopy to the fan and discharge.
- We re-test, photograph and send your certificate and photo report.
How to prepare
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Clear the space around the work
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
How to get a quote
For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. We normally come back within one working day.
Advice
What affects the quote in Marshborough
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- The condition of the system
- The size of the system
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Travel, parking and unloading
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.
What to send for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Do you need kitchen extract cleaning in Marshborough?
A kitchen in Marshborough builds up grease in the same places as any other: in long flat runs, at bends and changes of direction, and in the fan housing. The cooler the duct, the more grease drops out of the air.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- An overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer
- A smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction
- Heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs
- Grease smells coming from the extract
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
- Whether a written report and photos are included
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Whether a survey comes first
Aftercare tips
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Make sure every filter is fitted before cooking
- Clean the grease filters regularly between TR19 cleans
- Clean grease off the canopy surfaces regularly
- Book the next clean before the date on the report
After cleaning, we re-test the same points we measured at the start, giving you before and after readings alongside the pictures. A TR19 certificate follows, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Run the extract whenever the kitchen is cooking. Cooking with the extract off lets grease and heat settle in the canopy, and the next clean has more to do.
Marshborough questions
Do you work in villages like Marshborough?
Yes, Marshborough is part of our area, however small the site. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Can you come to Marshborough after we close?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. That way a site in Marshborough does not have to lose a day’s trading. Just ring 0345 646 2711 or email us with your opening times and we will plan around them.
How do you protect the area?
Protection goes down first: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line, and we’ll advise on what to do next.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. To get one, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Often, yes. With good photos, the site type and your last report, we can price many jobs. Larger or hidden systems need a survey on site first.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a single café to a large school. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
