Grease trap cleaning in Marshborough
Every trap is different. Under-sink traps are compact and need frequent attention and larger traps hold more grease before they fill. We assess the trap and how fast it fills before suggesting how often it needs cleaning. If you’re dealing with sinks that drain slowly and gurgling drains in the kitchen, we can help.
In a village or hamlet like Marshborough, commercial kitchens are few, perhaps a pub, a school or a care home. Wherever there is one, it needs its grease trap and hard-to-reach areas kept clean.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with photos of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

What the work involves, part by part
Restaurant and takeaway kitchens
Visits are booked when the sinks are not in use so you do not lose trade.
Under-sink grease traps
Under-sink units are easy to forget. A full one shows itself with a slow, smelly sink.
Aftercare tips
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Act on gurgling or smelly drains
- Keep waste oil out of the drains
- Fit sink strainers to catch food scraps
- Hot water only moves grease further down
Collect waste cooking oil separately rather than pouring it down the sink and the trap won’t fill as quickly. It makes a real difference.
A fixed cleaning interval means the trap never gets overfull. We agree the timing with you.
What grease trap cleaning looks like in Marshborough
Food Standards Agency records include about 7 bars, pubs and nightclubs in and around Marshborough, up to about a mile and a half out. Wherever food is prepared there, a periodic deep clean and a clear grease trap keep things in order. Kitchens in Marshborough get their food hygiene inspections from Dover council. They look at the cleanliness of the whole kitchen: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment. Having the dates of the last deep clean to hand saves digging for them on the day.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Mary the Virgin or elsewhere in Marshborough, a deep clean and an emptied grease trap before a busy season of events are worth booking. A summer deep clean suits schools such as Sandwich Technology School, as the kitchen can be stripped back with no lunches to serve.

What’s near Marshborough
Around Marshborough, our work takes us to kitchens and buildings near Ham Fen, among other places. Marshborough’s nearest station is Sandwich station, about 1.7 miles east. Nearby you will also find White Mill (1.3 miles north-east) and Sandown Castle (4.8 miles south-east). For a walk, there’s Monk's Wall nature reserve.
When to call us in Marshborough
A full trap can’t hold any more grease. It goes on into the drain and the sewer beyond, where it can form blockages.
These are the problems we see most often:
- A bad smell from the sinks or drains
- An overdue grease trap
- An under-sink trap that keeps filling up
- A regular cleaning plan for the grease trap
If you run a kitchen in an older building near Marshborough, such as a historic house like Goodnestone Park (about 3.7 miles south-west), older drains make a working grease trap all the more important.
Questions to ask before you book
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or photos
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
The process
Protection comes first: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes anything from under an hour to a few hours, depending on the trap, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Marshborough and turn up when the site is quiet.
- 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.
- The chambers and baffles are cleaned.
- The trap is refitted, tested with water and the waste taken away.
Before we arrive
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Tell us where we can park and unload

Advice
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. That’s our job.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Marshborough
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
Why deal with it now?
Grease that gets past the trap does not disappear. It adds to blockages further down the drains and sewer. Keeping it in the trap, and emptying the trap, is the responsible thing to do. It’s simpler to plan the work at Marshborough now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You’ll have a fixed price before any work starts.

Marshborough questions
Do you cover smaller places like Marshborough?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Do you work overnight in Marshborough?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. That way a site in Marshborough does not have to lose a day’s trading. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Do you provide a certificate or report?
Yes, always. It’s a dated, written report with pictures, and TR19® Grease cleans come with a certificate through the BESCA VHE portal. File it with your fire safety records.
Which sectors do you work in?
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.
What about areas you cannot get to?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. You will know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not usually. Visits are timed for when the area is closed, such as overnight or at a weekend, so you keep your normal hours.
Why does a grease trap need regular cleaning?
An overfull trap stops separating grease. Slow drains, bad smells and blockages follow.
How do you protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before any work starts, and anything we remove is contained. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
