About our grease trap cleaning in Allhallows
Once a trap is full, grease passes straight through. Fat sets in the pipes downstream and the result is blocked drains and bad smells. Regular cleaning keeps it working. We are often asked to deal with a bad smell from the sinks or drains and an inline trap or interceptor due for cleaning, across under-sink grease traps, kitchen waste pipes and school and care home kitchens.
Rural kitchens may drain to a septic tank or a private drain rather than straight into a public sewer, so keeping fat out with a working grease trap matters even more.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with photos after every visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

What happens if it’s left?
Pests are drawn to grease and food waste. A clean trap is less of an attraction, alongside good kitchen hygiene. If the system at a site near Allhallows fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.

What affects the cost of grease trap cleaning
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Travel, parking and unloading
- What state the system is in
- The scale of the work
The cost depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.
What to send for a quote
We can often survey from pictures. The most useful are:
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Keep waste oil out of the drains
- Don’t rely on hot water to clear grease
- Keep access to the trap clear
- Act on gurgling or smelly drains
Collect waste cooking oil separately rather than pouring it down the sink and the trap will not fill as quickly. It’s the single easiest way to help.
Setting regular cleans takes the guesswork out. The interval is set to suit the trap and the kitchen.
Allhallows questions
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Allhallows?
Food hygiene inspections in Allhallows are carried out by Medway council. Inspection results feed into the food hygiene rating published by the Food Standards Agency.
Can the work in Allhallows be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. That way a site in Allhallows doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
How much notice should we give?
The more notice, the better, especially for out-of-hours work. We normally quote within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
Are you insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work and have been trading since 2009.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a small pub to a hospital. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes, of course. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we’ll propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
Will I get paperwork for my records?
Yes. It’s the record insurers and inspectors ask to see: a dated report with pictures, listing the work and any areas we couldn’t reach.
What types of grease trap do you clean?
We clean under-sink traps, inline traps and interceptors. Let us know what’s fitted and we’ll plan the visit.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- A leaking sink waste or trap connection
- Blockages in the public sewer beyond the property
- Drains that need jetting rather than trap cleaning
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What the work covers
- Pot wash sinks
- Kitchen waste pipes
- Under-sink grease traps
- Inline grease traps
- Restaurants and takeaways
- School and care home kitchens
What staff can safely do
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.

Grease trap cleaning around Allhallows
Look up Allhallows on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 4 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 4 takeaways and sandwich shops within about 1.5 miles of central Allhallows. A grease trap in kitchens like these fills steadily and needs emptying before it overflows. In Allhallows, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Medway council. Grease behind equipment or on a ceiling is the kind of thing an inspection can note. Photos and dates from each deep clean make a useful record.
A summer deep clean suits schools such as Allhallows Primary Academy, as the kitchen can be stripped back with no lunches to serve. Healthcare kitchens cook through the year, so a deep clean has to be fitted around meals; Chartwell Private Hospital, about 5.5 miles north, is the nearest hospital to Allhallows. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of All Saints or elsewhere in Allhallows, a deep clean and an emptied grease trap before a busy season of events are worth booking.

What the work involves, part by part
Under-sink grease traps
We empty and clean under-sink traps without disrupting the rest of the kitchen and check the seal on the lid.
Grease interceptors
Interceptors separate grease the same way, on a larger scale. Grease floats and solids sink.
How the visit works
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. On site, the work takes less than an hour for many under-sink units. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Allhallows, let us know and we’ll plan around it.
- First, we locate the grease trap and look at the pipework around it.
- The sinks feeding the trap are kept out of use while we work.
- 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.
