About our grease trap cleaning in Marsh Green
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. Routine cleaning keeps it in good working order. If you have a small trap that fills too quickly and a larger grease trap that needs emptying, we can help, from kitchen waste pipes, school and care home kitchens and inline grease traps onwards.
For a kitchen in or near Marsh Green, the visit is planned ahead, around opening times and the journey, and the deep clean is the same as anywhere: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment.
Each visit ends with a written report and photos, 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.

What grease trap cleaning looks like in Marsh Green
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 4 restaurants, cafés and works canteens in and around Marsh Green, up to about a mile and a half out. Fat from washing up sets hard in pipes, and kitchens like these produce plenty of it. Food hygiene inspections in Marsh Green are the job of Isle of Wight council’s environmental health team. An inspection covers the structure of the kitchen as well as the food. A cleaning log that includes deep cleans and grease trap visits shows the work is planned.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Whitecroft Hospital about 5 miles north-east, deep cleans and grease trap visits are planned so meals still go out. Hall kitchens near St. Mary's Church or elsewhere in Marsh Green may have older sinks and drains, so a grease trap check is worth adding to a deep clean.

How the visit works
Every visit runs to the same pattern: protect the area, make the system safe, do the work, clear away and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself takes a short visit for a small trap and longer for an inline unit or interceptor. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Marsh Green.
- 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.
- We clean the chambers, baffles and connections.
- We put it back together, run water through and remove the waste.
How to prepare
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system

Advice
What the work involves, part by part
Under-sink grease traps
Under-sink traps are compact units fitted below the kitchen sink. Their small size means they fill fast, so they need frequent emptying.
School, care home and staff kitchens
In schools, grease traps can be cleaned when the kitchen is closed or between meal services.
Keeping the system healthy
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Wipe grease off pans before washing them
- Avoid pouring boiling water down to shift grease
- Fit sink strainers to catch food scraps
- Do not wait for a blockage to book a clean
Anything we notice beyond the trap, like a slow drain downstream, is pointed out. It may need a drainage specialist to look further.
A trap that is left too long stops catching grease. Cleaning it before it’s full keeps grease out of the drains and saves a call-out for a blocked drain.
Signs you need grease trap cleaning in Marsh Green
Food waste slips past sink strainers or gets rinsed down. Solids settle at the bottom of the trap and takes up space.
Look out for any of the following:
- An overdue grease trap
- A bad smell from the sinks or drains
- An under-sink unit that needs regular emptying
- Drains clogged with fat
Half-term is a good time for school kitchens, at schools like Brighstone Church of England Aided Primary School for instance, to have the grease trap emptied and the kitchen deep cleaned.

What your team can do, and what needs us
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.
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.
FAQs for Marsh Green
Can the work in Marsh Green be done at night or at weekends?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The work in Marsh Green can fit around your hours. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Do you cover smaller places like Marsh Green?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Marsh Green included. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
What types of grease trap do you clean?
Under-sink and inline grease traps, and larger interceptors. Each one is emptied, cleaned and checked whatever the size.
Can you clear our blocked drains as well?
A trap clean removes the grease in the trap, and can clear the problem where the trap was the cause. Blockages further down the drain, or damaged pipework, need a drainage contractor.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line and we’ll talk you through the next steps.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a small pub to a hospital. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
Why does a grease trap need regular cleaning?
A full trap cannot catch any more grease. It then sets in the drains, causing blockages and smells, and can add to fatbergs in the sewer.
Can you give me a price for grease trap cleaning?
The price depends on the trap and the schedule. Just call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will quote before any work starts.
Multi-site and managed buildings
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 records stay tidy.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
What a clean will not put right
Before you book, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Blockages in the public sewer beyond the property
- Grease deep in the drains, which needs jetting by a drainage contractor
- A unit that cannot cope with the kitchen’s output
If you are not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
