Grease trap cleaning in Marley, Kent
Need grease trap cleaning in Marley? We diagnose first, fix the price and book the work around your hours, finishing with a written report and pictures.
- An inline trap or interceptor due for cleaning
- An overdue grease trap
- A bad smell from the sinks or drains
Different parts, different methods
Grease interceptors
Grease interceptors are larger units that serve busier kitchens. With more capacity, they fill more slowly but they still need cleaning.
School, care home and staff kitchens
Kitchens that serve set mealtimes fill their traps more steadily. A regular interval suits them well.
Grease trap cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Marley
Smells from the sink, gurgling drains or slow drainage all point to the grease trap. We find the trap, empty it and clean it and run water through to check it drains. If you have a full, neglected grease trap and an inline trap or interceptor due for cleaning, we can help, from kitchen waste pipes, pot wash sinks and inline grease traps onwards.
In a village or hamlet like Marley, commercial kitchens are few, perhaps a pub, a school or a care home. Each still needs the occasional deep clean and its grease trap kept clear.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

What happens on the day
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your pictures. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, it takes a short visit for a small trap and longer for an inline unit or interceptor. The timing of a visit to Marley is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- First, we find the trap and look at its connections.
- Sinks feeding the trap are taken out of use.
- We empty out the fat, oil, grease and solids.
- The chambers and baffles are cleaned.
- The trap is refitted, tested with water and the waste taken away.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move anything stored near the system
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
How to get a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

What a clean will not put right
We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- A leaking sink waste or trap connection
- Grease set hard in the drain run
- Drains that are cracked or have collapsed
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on in Marley

Leave it or put it right?
Pouring hot water or chemicals down a slow drain is a common quick fix. It just shifts the grease further along, where it sets again. Emptying and cleaning the trap deals with the source. A fault that closes a site in a village like Marley affects everyone who depends on it.
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered and we will price it together.
Why book with us
- In business since 2009
- Fixed quotes from a survey or photos
- Fully insured
- Out-of-hours work and a 24/7 emergency line

What your team can do, and what needs us
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, next to our reports.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that’s where we come in.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Marley and across Kent. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
What affects the quote in Marley
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We consider:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- How big the system is
- How many systems or sites are involved
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re not sure what’s needed, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
What we need to know
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. The most useful are:
- The postcode and the type of business
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Any previous report or certificate
To get a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. You will usually have a quote within one working day.
Common questions in Marley
Do you work in villages like Marley?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Marley is covered. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Can you work in Marley outside opening hours?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The work in Marley can fit around your hours. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
What types of grease trap do you clean?
We cover under-sink, inline and interceptor units. They’re emptied, cleaned and checked in the same careful way.
Will I get paperwork for my records?
Yes. Every visit ends with a written report and pictures, showing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, there’s also a certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. The law sets the duty; TR19® is the benchmark used to show it’s met. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and many insurers can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of cleaning.
Are you accredited?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We are fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
Can you give me a price for grease trap cleaning?
It depends on the type and size of the trap, its condition and access. Send us details or a photo and we’ll come back with a fixed price.
How much notice should we give?
Earlier is better, particularly for night and weekend visits. We normally quote within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
Marley kitchens: local notes
Food Standards Agency records include about 6 bars, pubs and nightclubs across Marley and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Any of them serving food has a kitchen that collects grease out of sight and drains that need protecting. Food hygiene inspections in Marley are the job of Maidstone council’s environmental health team. Walls, floors, ceilings and equipment are all part of what they look at. Photos and dates from each deep clean make a useful record.
Where a church or community hall near St John the Baptist's Church, or anywhere in Marley, has a kitchen used by volunteers, a periodic deep clean keeps it ready for the next event. For busy kitchens close to Harrietsham station, deep cleans and grease trap work can be done after closing. If you run event catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Leeds Castle is about 2.5 miles west), a deep clean before or after the busy season is worth planning.
