Grease trap cleaning in East Marden, done properly
Think of the grease trap as a filter for the kitchen’s drains. When it’s looked after, you hardly know it’s there but left too long, it causes trouble. A regular clean keeps it healthy. The work covers school and care home kitchens, under-sink grease traps and kitchen waste pipes, and the jobs we see most are a bad smell from the sinks or drains and a regular cleaning plan for the grease trap.
Somewhere as small as East Marden, the kitchens that need a deep clean are typically a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still needs the occasional deep clean and its grease trap kept clear.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with photos, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

What else we do in East Marden
East Marden questions
Which council inspects kitchens in East Marden?
In East Marden, it’s Chichester council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Photos from a deep clean are a simple record of what was done and when.
Can you work in East Marden outside opening hours?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The work in East Marden can fit around your hours. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so sites at different addresses can be planned together on one programme. Every site has its own report.
How long does a grease trap clean take?
Typically, it takes an hour or two in most kitchens, depending on the size and condition of the trap. A large or very full trap takes longer, and we will tell you in advance.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it, and the quote is based on that.
What happens to the waste?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, including grease, debris and dirty water. We do not leave it behind.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
Not in itself. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19® as the benchmark, and many insurance policies ask for proof of TR19® cleaning. The legal duty sits in the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 in England and Wales.
What the work involves, part by part
Grease interceptors
Interceptors separate grease the same way, on a larger scale. Grease floats and solids sink.
Baffles and outlets
The baffles hold back grease while water flows on. Grease clings to them so they’re cleaned every time.
Commercial kitchens in East Marden
East Marden is about 51 miles from central London, well within the area we cover across London and the South East. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours. Kitchens in East Marden get their food hygiene inspections from Chichester council. The state of floors, drains and hard-to-reach corners all feeds into the inspection. A cleaning log that includes deep cleans and grease trap visits shows the work is planned.
If you run event catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Uppark is about 2.6 miles north-west), a deep clean before or after the busy season is worth planning. Where a church or community hall near Church of St Peter, or anywhere in East Marden, has a kitchen used by volunteers, a periodic deep clean keeps it ready for the next event.

What affects the quote in East Marden
The survey tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- The times the site is available
We don’t list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we’ll explain what it covers.
What to send for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:
- A few general shots of the system
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line 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. You’ll normally have a quote within one working day.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
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. That’s our job.
Why deal with it now?
A dirty grease trap smells. Rotting food and grease give off foul odours that can reach the kitchen and beyond. A clean trap takes the source away. It’s simpler to plan the work at East Marden now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.

Managing agents and facilities teams in East Marden
For anyone managing more than one site, 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.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
What grease trap cleaning cannot fix
We won’t sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so here are the limits:
- Grease deep in the drains, which needs jetting by a drainage contractor
- A unit that can’t cope with the kitchen’s output
- Broken pipework below ground
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll tell you honestly.
