Grease trap cleaning in Medway: how it works
No two traps are quite the same. Under-sink traps are compact and need frequent attention and larger traps hold more grease before they fill. We look at the trap, how much the kitchen uses it and how quickly it fills before suggesting how often it needs cleaning. We are often asked to deal with a small trap that fills too quickly and a larger grease trap that needs emptying, across under-sink grease traps, kitchen waste pipes and school and care home kitchens.
Night work is normal for us. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. On site, the work takes anything from under an hour to a few hours, depending on the trap.
- We start by finding the trap and checking its inlet and outlet.
- The sinks feeding the trap are kept out of use while we work.
- Built-up fat, oil and grease is removed from the trap.
- We clean the chambers, baffles and connections.
- Once it’s refitted, water is run through to check it drains, and we take the waste with us.

Grease trap cleaning across Medway: local notes
Across Medway, from Gillingham, Chatham and Rochester outwards, commercial kitchens range from busy town-centre sites to school, care home and pub kitchens. Each builds up grease where the daily clean does not reach.
From central London kitchens to coastal hotels and country pubs, London and the South East have every kind of site. The same TR19® standard applies to all of them, in Medway and beyond. Medway includes coastal places, where salt in the air speeds up corrosion of roof-level equipment. Fans and cowls on sea-facing roofs are worth checking at every visit.
Gillingham: For schools such as Featherby Junior School, deep cleans and grease trap work are normally booked for the holidays. If you cater for weddings or events at a historic house in the area (Restoration House is about 3.3 miles west), deep cleans can be fitted between bookings.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
What grease trap cleaning can’t fix
We will not sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- Blockages in the public sewer beyond the property
- Leaking pipework or sink wastes, which need a plumber
- Drains that are cracked or have collapsed
What we’re called out for in Medway
Food waste slips past sink strainers or gets rinsed down. It settles in the trap as solids and takes up space.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- An overdue grease trap
- Drains clogged with fat
- Gurgling drains in the kitchen
- Foul odours from the grease trap
What happens if it’s left?
A smelly, overflowing trap attracts pests. Keeping the trap clean removes something they’re looking for, alongside good kitchen hygiene.
What your quote should include
- What records you will receive afterwards
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- How areas they can’t reach will be recorded
- Whether they’re fully insured

Medway: your questions answered
Are you insured?
Yes, we’re fully insured. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it, for sites that check contractor safety.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
They’re marked on the report. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, and we can fit those.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes, of course. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we will suggest a schedule and quote for it.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and we will quote them together.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
Do you work in Medway?
Yes. We work across Greater London, Surrey, Kent, Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Essex, and that includes Medway.
Do we need to stop using the sinks while you work?
The sinks that drain into the trap can’t be used while it’s open. That is why we time visits around service to keep disruption down.
