Ventilation duct cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Marks Gate
We get into the ducts through access panels at intervals along the system. If some sections cannot be reached, the report says so, and new access panels can be installed so they’re covered next time. We’re often asked to deal with grilles and diffusers streaked with dirt and ventilation full of debris from building work, on hospitals and care homes, supply ductwork and toilet extract systems.
Rural buildings with mechanical ventilation, such as care homes and country hotels, often keep their units in roof spaces or outbuildings, which makes them easy to overlook.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

Between visits
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Keep filters changed on time
- Make sure nothing is stacked against extract grilles
- Tell your facilities team about dirty diffusers
- Include grilles in the cleaning rota
If there’s building work planned, protect the ventilation. Switch it off or cover the grilles while dusty work goes on.
Fix leaks and damp near the ductwork quickly, as moisture makes dust stick.
Part by part
Hospitals and care homes
Dust control matters during work in occupied care settings. The area is protected, and debris contained and removed.
Extract ductwork
General extract ductwork removes stale air from rooms, toilets and washrooms. They collect dust, lint and fibres and restrict the flow over time.
What your team can do, and what needs us
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
What affects the cost of ventilation duct cleaning
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- Parking and loading at the site
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- The times the site is available
- The condition we find in the survey
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before any work starts.
What we need to know
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. The most useful are:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- A few general shots of the system
- Any previous report or certificate
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room

What happens on the day
Protection comes first: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes a shift or two for a small system, longer for a whole building, and we clear up before we go. Somewhere as small as Marks Gate, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- First we plan when the work can happen, often out of hours.
- We open the ductwork through its access panels.
- We photograph the ducts, then clean each section in turn.
- We clean the grilles and diffusers and put them back.
- After pictures are taken and the certificate and report issued.
How to prepare
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Move anything stored near the system

FAQs for Marks Gate
Can ventilation in schools around Marks Gate be cleaned out of term?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. With about 18 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Marks Gate, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. You can call 0345 646 2711 or email us with the dates the site is empty.
Can you get to a site in Marks Gate?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Marks Gate included. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Which accreditations do you hold?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We’ve been trading since 2009 and we are fully insured.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
We never leave them off the paperwork. You’ll know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. TR19® itself is not law; it’s a BESA specification. The legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005: the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and TR19® is the benchmark for showing that grease in the extract is under control.
What should I send you?
Some pictures and a quick description of the system plus the address and your hours. We’ll ask for anything else we need.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, any time. 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.
Will you look at the ducts before quoting?
Yes, always. We check the layout, access and condition before giving a fixed quote.
Multi-site and managed buildings
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Essex. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
