Grease trap cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Marden Beech
Smells from the sink, gurgling drains or slow drainage all point to the grease trap. We find the trap, empty it and clean it, then check the water flows properly. We are often asked to deal with grease setting in the kitchen pipework and an inline trap or interceptor due for cleaning, across inline grease traps, kitchen waste pipes and school and care home kitchens.
Somewhere as small as Marden Beech, the kitchens that need a deep clean are usually a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Wherever there is one, it needs its grease trap and hard-to-reach areas kept clean.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

When to call us in Marden Beech
In Marden Beech, as everywhere, grease traps are easy to forget. Hidden under a sink or in a floor it’s often left until there’s a problem.
The symptoms we’re asked about most include:
- A larger grease trap that needs emptying
- An under-sink trap that keeps filling up
- Gurgling drains in the kitchen
- Sinks that drain slowly
For schools such as Marden Primary School, deep cleans and grease trap work are typically booked for the holidays.
Questions to ask before you book

- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
Why deal with it now?
Pests are drawn to grease and food waste. A clean trap is less of an attraction, alongside good kitchen hygiene. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
You will not find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we will talk you through it.
Why book with us
- Trading since 2009
- A written report with photos after each visit
- Fixed quotes from a survey or photos
- We’re fully insured

What your team can do, and what needs us
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Aftercare tips
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Fit sink strainers to catch food scraps
- Wipe grease off pans before washing them
- Act on gurgling or smelly drains
- Never pour used oil down the sink
Anything we notice beyond the trap, like a slow drain downstream, is pointed out. That may need a drainage contractor to look further.
If the sinks are slow or smelly, the trap may be full. Acting at this stage typically prevents a blockage later.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
How it works
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes an hour or so for an under-sink trap, longer for a larger unit. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Marden Beech.
- We locate the trap and check how it’s fitted.
- We make sure nothing drains into the trap.
- Grease and solids are removed from the trap.
- We clean every part of the inside.
- The trap is refitted, tested with water and the waste taken away.
Preparing for the visit
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Clear the space around the work
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
Ask for a quote
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.

Marden Beech: your questions answered
Can the work in Marden Beech be done at night or at weekends?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The work in Marden Beech can fit around your hours. When you phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, mention when the site is quiet.
Do you clean school kitchens in Marden Beech in the summer holidays?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. There are about 4 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Marden Beech. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
How often should a grease trap be cleaned?
There’s no single answer. We look at how full the trap is and how quickly it fills, then suggest a schedule.
How long does a grease trap clean take?
As a guide, it takes less than an hour for many under-sink units. A large or very full trap takes longer and we will say so when we quote.

What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
They’re marked on the report. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, and we can fit those.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site across London and the South East, with visits on a regular schedule.
How much notice should we give?
The more notice, the better, particularly for night and weekend visits. We typically quote within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
