Grease trap cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Almodington
A grease trap catches fats, oils and grease from the kitchen sinks before they reach the drain. As the waste water cools, the grease floats and stays in the trap, and clean water flows on. Over time, the trap fills up and needs emptying and cleaning. If you have sinks that drain slowly and an under-sink unit that needs regular emptying, we can put it right, from inline grease traps, pot wash sinks and school and care home kitchens onwards.
Work in a small place like Almodington starts with agreeing a date and access, and the deep clean is the same as anywhere: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

Different parts, different methods
Inline grease traps
Access to an inline trap can be in a floor or cupboard. We ask about access when we quote.
Under-sink grease traps
Under-sink traps are compact units fitted below the kitchen sink. They fill quickly, so they need frequent emptying.
Common problems we fix in Almodington
Food waste slips past sink strainers or gets rinsed down. It settles in the trap as solids and fill it from below.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Foul odours from the grease trap
- Drains that gurgle and bubble
- A larger grease trap that needs emptying
- An under-sink unit that needs regular emptying
Hall and church kitchens, near Earnley Church or anywhere around Almodington, are used by many hands, and periodic deep cleans and grease trap visits keep them in order.

What we do, step by step
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes anything from under an hour to a few hours, depending on the trap. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Almodington and turn up when the site is quiet.
- We find the trap and check how it’s connected.
- Nothing drains into the trap while it’s open.
- The trap is emptied of grease and food waste.
- Every part of the trap is scraped and cleaned, including the baffles.
- The trap is reassembled, checked for leaks and the waste taken away.
Getting ready for the visit
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Clear the space around the work
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in

Related advice
What your team can do, and what needs us
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
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.
For landlords and multi-site operators
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
What grease trap cleaning can’t fix
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Blockages further down the drainage network
- A trap undersized for the amount of cooking
- A leaking sink waste or trap connection
If you are not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will give you a straight answer.

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 advise on what to do next.
Will cleaning the grease trap fix a blocked drain?
Cleaning the trap deals with the grease it holds and that may solve a slow drain caused by the trap. A blockage deeper in the drains needs a drainage specialist.
