Questions from Marden Ash
Can a school kitchen in Marden Ash be done out of term time?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. With about 2 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Marden Ash, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Can the work in Marden Ash be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. That way a site in Marden Ash does not have to lose a day’s trading. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we will book within them.
Can you clear our blocked drains as well?
We clean the trap, not the drain network. If the drain beyond the trap is blocked or damaged, we’ll tell you and suggest a drainage contractor.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
We never leave them off the paperwork. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
How do you protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. We keep the work contained and clean down when we finish.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and you’ll get one fixed quote.
How much does grease trap cleaning cost?
The price depends on the trap and the schedule. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll quote so you know the cost up front.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7, for problems that can’t wait. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.

Grease trap cleaning around Marden Ash
The FSA’s data shows about 5 pubs, bars and clubs registered within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Marden Ash. Wherever food is prepared there, a periodic deep clean and a clear grease trap keep things in order. Kitchens in Marden Ash get their food hygiene inspections from Epping Forest 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.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We are happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
Keeping the system healthy
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Scrape plates and pans into the bin before washing up
- Keep waste oil out of the drains
- Mention any increase in cooking
- Act on gurgling or smelly drains
Between cleans, keep food scraps out of the sink. Sink strainers help catch solids before they reach the trap.
A trap that is left too long stops catching grease. Cleaning it before it’s full keeps grease out of the drains and avoids a blockage.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Signs you need grease trap cleaning in Marden Ash
Hot washing-up water keeps grease liquid for a while. Once it cools, it sets, often in the trap or the pipe beyond.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Scheduled grease trap emptying
- A small trap that fills too quickly
- An interceptor full of grease and solids
- Sinks that drain slowly
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Chipping Ongar Primary School or anywhere near Marden Ash, the holidays are the time for a deep clean or a grease trap clean.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- Whether a survey comes first
- What insurance they carry
- When the next visit should be, and why
Why act early in Marden Ash
A blocked drain can stop a kitchen in its tracks. Sinks won’t empty and waste water can come back up. Keeping the trap clean reduces the risk. A fault that closes a site in a village like Marden Ash affects everyone who depends on it.
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we will price it together.

How it works
We turn up at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes less than an hour for many under-sink units. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Marden Ash and turn up when the site is quiet.
- We start by finding the trap and checking its inlet and outlet.
- We ask for the sinks that drain into the trap not to be used.
- The trap is emptied of grease and food waste.
- The inside, baffles and pipe connections are cleaned.
- The trap is reassembled, checked for leaks and the waste taken away.
How to prepare
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Tell us where we can park and unload
