Ventilation duct cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Marlow
Toilet, washroom and general extract ducts gather dust, fluff and debris. Supply ducts carry anything the filters miss. We clean both, keeping the work tidy and the building protected. If you are dealing with blocked general extract ductwork and musty smells from the ventilation, we can put it right.
In Marlow, ventilation in schools and offices is cleaned when the building is quiet: evenings, weekends or school holidays.
A written report with pictures follows each visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Looking after it afterwards
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Report leaks or damp near ceilings and risers
- Do not run the ventilation while builders are sanding or cutting
- Don’t block grilles with furniture or storage
If there’s building work planned, protect the ventilation. Switch it off or cover the grilles while dusty work goes on.
Fit access panels where the ductwork can’t be reached. Hidden sections are the ones that get worst.
FAQs for Marlow
Can the work in Marlow be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. Your customers, staff or residents in Marlow needn’t be disturbed. When you call 0345 646 2711, or email photos, mention when the site is quiet.
Do you clean school ventilation in Marlow in the holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. Food Standards Agency records list about 8 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Marlow. Send us your term dates when you call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, and we will fit the work in.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so we can schedule a run of sites as one programme. Each site gets its own report and pictures.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, 24/7. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, and the emergency line covers the rest.
What does TR19 mean?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping and expects a risk-based approach.
What about areas you can’t get to?
We record them on the report, with a note of where it is, and we explain what access is needed, for example new access panels.
What is TR19® Air?
TR19® Air is the part of BESA’s TR19® that covers general supply and extract ventilation, rather than kitchen extract. It works on inspection and risk, and kitchen extract falls under TR19® Grease.
How much notice do you need?
Earlier is better, especially for out-of-hours work. We typically quote within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
Honest limits
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so here are the limits:

- A system that isn’t designed to move enough air
- Leaking or broken duct sections
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What else we do in Marlow
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. From there, it takes a day or less for a small system and a series of visits for a large one. The more we can see of the system beforehand, the smoother the visit to Marlow will be.
- First we check the layout and any past paperwork.
- Inspection points are chosen and the ducts examined.
- We cover the area below and turn off the system.
- We clean the system and remove the debris from site.
- We report on the work, listing any inaccessible sections and the next inspection date.
Preparing for the visit
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
Ask for a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Advice
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Leave it or put it right?
Facilities teams are regularly asked to show evidence of ventilation hygiene. Having a recent certificate and photo report for a building in Marlow answers the question. A fresh certificate on file is the best thing to have when someone asks to see your records.
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.

What the work involves, part by part
Hospitals and care homes
People in hospitals and care homes can be more vulnerable to poor air. Inspecting and cleaning to TR19® Air supports good air quality.
Offices and retail
Multi-let buildings may share ductwork between tenants. We plan access with the managing agent.
Multi-site and managed buildings
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 on a regular cycle.
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.
Ventilation in Marlow buildings
There are about 8 schools, colleges and universities, about 15 caring premises (care homes, nurseries and hospitals) and about 5 hotels and guest houses on the FSA’s food hygiene register across Marlow and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Many buildings of this kind have supply and extract ductwork that gathers dust and needs inspecting. About 30 miles out from central London, Marlow is part of the South East area we work across. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you. For Marlow, the closest hospital is Marlow Community Hospital, roughly within half a mile east. Hospitals show how much a building can rely on its ventilation, and smaller healthcare sites rely on theirs too.
Hospitals such as Marlow Community Hospital (about under half a mile east) show how much a building can rely on clean ventilation, and smaller healthcare sites near Marlow are no different. If you manage shops or offices close to Marlow station, a TR19® Air inspection shows whether the ductwork needs cleaning. Wherever a school like Holy Trinity Church of England (Aided) School has ducted ventilation, a half-term visit keeps the work out of lesson time.
