Your questions about grease trap cleaning in Allhallows-on-Sea
Do you work at weekends in Allhallows-on-Sea?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. Your customers, staff or residents in Allhallows-on-Sea needn’t be disturbed. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Which environmental health team covers Allhallows-on-Sea?
In Allhallows-on-Sea, it’s Medway council that carries out food hygiene inspections. An officer may look behind equipment and at drains, so it pays to have the deep clean booked before those areas build up.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so we can schedule a run of sites as one programme. Each site gets its own report and photos.
Will you tell us when the next visit is due?
Yes. The recommended date is on the report. BESA’s minimum intervals for kitchen extracts range from 3-monthly for heavy use to 12-monthly for light use, and fire dampers need testing at least once a year.
Which grease traps does the service cover?
We clean all the common types. If you are not sure what you have, send us a photo when you phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We carry full insurance and have been trading since 2009.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not normally. We need the work area to ourselves while we’re on site, so we book a time when it would be closed anyway.
Grease trap cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Allhallows-on-Sea
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. The work covers school and care home kitchens, restaurants and takeaways and pot wash sinks, and people most often call us about an interceptor full of grease and solids and drains clogged with fat.
Somewhere as small as Allhallows-on-Sea, the kitchens that need a deep clean are typically a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Wherever there is one, it needs its grease trap and hard-to-reach areas kept clean.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

- Restaurants and takeaways
- Inline grease traps
- Pot wash sinks
- Kitchen waste pipes
- School and care home kitchens
- Under-sink grease traps
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Do you need grease trap cleaning in Allhallows-on-Sea?
Fats, oils and grease from cooking and washing up go down the sink. They cool and float to the top of the trap and the grease layer grows.
These are the problems we see most often:
- A slow-draining kitchen sink
- Gurgling from the sink waste
- A bad smell from the sinks or drains
- An inline trap or interceptor due for cleaning
For schools such as Allhallows Primary Academy, deep cleans and grease trap work are normally booked for the holidays.

How the visit works
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and the same goes into the written report. All told, the work takes a short visit for a small trap and longer for an inline unit or interceptor. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Allhallows-on-Sea before we set off.
- We agree a time when the sinks aren’t needed.
- The trap is opened up and checked.
- Built-up grease and food waste are taken out.
- The inside, baffles and outlet are cleaned.
- We close it up, check it drains and suggest when it needs cleaning again.
How to prepare
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas

For landlords and multi-site operators
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Medway. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
