How it works
Everything the job needs comes with us, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. The visit 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 Appledore Heath before we set off.
- 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.

Grease trap cleaning in Appledore Heath
A clean trap means flowing drains and no foul smells. The fat, oil, grease and solids are taken out and the chambers and baffles cleaned and the trap checked before we leave. If you’re dealing with an under-sink unit that needs regular emptying and a slow-draining kitchen sink, we can help.
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.
Every visit ends with a written report and pictures, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

When to call us in Appledore Heath
A full trap can’t hold any more grease. It goes on into the drain and on towards the sewer, where it can cause blockages.
Clients typically contact us when they notice one of these:
- A regular cleaning plan for the grease trap
- An inline trap or interceptor due for cleaning
- Foul odours from the grease trap
- Sinks that drain slowly

How we price grease trap cleaning
You will get a fixed price before work begins. It’s based on:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Parking and loading at the site
- How many systems or sites are involved
- How big the system is
What you pay depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.
What we need to know
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price, before any work starts.
Your questions about grease trap cleaning in Appledore Heath
Do you work in villages like Appledore Heath?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Appledore Heath?
Food hygiene inspections in Appledore Heath are carried out by Ashford council. How often a business is inspected depends on the council’s risk rating for it, so the kitchen needs to be ready at any time.
How much notice should we give?
The more notice, the better, especially for out-of-hours work. We usually quote within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. We fit the work around how the site operates.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, to suit the system and how it’s used.
Do you take the waste away?
We take the grease and solids away with us. You are not left with anything to dispose of when we go.
Where does the waste go?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. None of it is left on site.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, and the emergency line covers the rest.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
What grease trap cleaning cannot fix
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- Drains that need jetting rather than trap cleaning
- Blockages further down the drainage network
- Leaking pipework or sink wastes, which need a plumber
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Where we work
- Restaurants and takeaways
- Inline grease traps
- School and care home kitchens
- Pot wash sinks
- Under-sink grease traps
- Kitchen waste pipes
How the job changes from site to site
Inline grease traps
An inline trap sits in the pipework between the kitchen and the drain. They’re larger than under-sink traps but still fill up.
Restaurant and takeaway kitchens
We time visits to avoid service so the kitchen is not disrupted.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Appledore Heath
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Every visit ends with a dated report and photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
