Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Grease trap cleaning in Addington, done properly
Grease is behind most blocked kitchen drains. Down the line, they can add to fatbergs in the sewer. A well-maintained trap keeps them out of the drains. The work covers school and care home kitchens, inline grease traps and restaurants and takeaways, and people most often call us about a small trap that fills too quickly and a kitchen drain that smells.
In a village or hamlet like Addington, 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.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Addington kitchens: local notes
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 16 pubs, bars and clubs within about 1.5 miles of central Addington. Where they run a kitchen, it needs the same deep cleaning and grease trap care as any restaurant. Environmental health officers from Tonbridge and Malling council inspect food businesses in Addington. Grease behind equipment or on a ceiling is the kind of thing an inspection can note. A cleaning log that includes deep cleans and grease trap visits shows the work is planned.
For schools such as Offham Primary School, deep cleans and grease trap work are typically booked for the holidays. If you cater for weddings or events at a historic house in the area (Old Soar Manor is about 3.9 miles south-west), deep cleans can be fitted between bookings.
Addington is about 7 miles north-west of Maidstone, in Kent. From the centre of Addington to the outskirts, grease trap cleaning is available to all kinds of commercial premises, from a single unit to a large public building. Across Kent, we cover 922 places, Addington among them. Our Maidstone page covers sites nearby, about 7 miles away.

What happens if it’s left?
In Addington, as anywhere, grease trap cleaning is a short, routine visit. Waiting for a blockage turns it into an urgent problem and typically at the worst moment. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Addington rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered and we will price it together.
What you get with us
- Every job surveyed first
- CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, with ISO 9001
- Trading since 2009
- Fixed quotes, usually within one working day
What we do, step by step
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. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes an hour or so for an under-sink trap, longer for a larger unit. Seeing the system in photos first means the trip to Addington can be planned properly.
- We find the trap and check how it’s connected.
- Nothing drains into the trap while it’s open.
- We take out the layer of fat, oil and grease and any solids.
- We clean the chambers, baffles and connections.
- We put it back together, run water through and remove the waste.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
Getting a quote
To get a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. You’ll normally have a quote within one working day.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Fit sink strainers to catch food scraps
- Scrape plates and pans into the bin before washing up
- Don’t rely on hot water to clear grease
- Report slow or smelly sinks early
Anything we notice beyond the trap, like a slow drain downstream, is pointed out. That may need a drainage contractor to investigate.
Grease that gets past the trap sets in the drains. Once it’s there, it needs a drainage contractor to clear, so it’s far better to keep the trap clean.
Fixed quotes for grease trap cleaning in Addington
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- How easy every part is to reach
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- How big the system is
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You’ll have a fixed price before we start.
Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The site address and the type of premises
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
Getting a quote does not take long. Call or email with a few details and you will typically have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
