- Sewer problems outside the premises
- Drains that are cracked or have collapsed

Grease trap cleaning in Bedgebury Cross
Fats, oils and grease are the main cause of blocked kitchen drains. Down the line, they can add to fatbergs in the sewer. A grease trap that’s emptied and cleaned regularly keeps them out of the drains. Common call-outs are for drains clogged with fat and washing-up water that won’t drain away, on school and care home kitchens, pot wash sinks and inline grease traps.
Work in a small place like Bedgebury Cross starts with agreeing a date and access, and the deep clean is the same as anywhere: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

How it works
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. For a village or hamlet like Bedgebury Cross, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- 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.
- We refit it, run water through and remove the waste.
How to prepare
- Clear the space around the work
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend

Different parts, different methods
School, care home and staff kitchens
In schools, grease traps can be cleaned when the kitchen is closed or after lunch service.
Inline grease traps
Access to an inline trap can be in a floor or cupboard. We check how to reach it before the visit.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
Multi-site and managed buildings
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 can quote for the whole system.
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
Aftercare tips
So the system stays in good health:
- Report slow or smelly sinks early
- Tell us if your menu or hours change
- Avoid pouring boiling water down to shift grease
- Wipe grease off pans before washing them
Once the trap is cleaned and refitted, the sinks can be used straight away. We run water through to check it drains before we go.
If the kitchen has got busier, the trap fills faster. Shortening the cleaning interval now keeps the drains flowing.
FAQs for Bedgebury Cross
Do you work overnight in Bedgebury Cross?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. Your customers, staff or residents in Bedgebury Cross needn’t be disturbed. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we’ll book within them.
Is Bedgebury Cross within the area you cover?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Bedgebury Cross included. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not typically. We need the work area to ourselves while we’re on site, so the visit goes in a quiet slot.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, from your photos and details, or with a visit where necessary. Then you get a fixed quote.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
The law calls them the responsible person. That’s generally the employer or the person in control of the premises, and in shared buildings more than one person can have duties. If you’re not sure, check your lease and fire risk assessment.
Do I get a report after the visit?
Yes. Every visit ends with a written report and pictures, showing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, there’s also a certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
How much does grease trap cleaning cost?
Trap size, type, condition and access all affect the price. Tell us about the trap and we will come back with a fixed price.
What paperwork should we keep on file?
Anything that proves the system is maintained: reports, certificates, photos and your own cleaning or check logs. One maintenance log per site keeps it simple.
How we price grease trap cleaning
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- The condition we find in the survey
- Site rules, permits and inductions
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before work begins.
What we need to know
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- A few general shots of the system
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Your last certificate, test record or report
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, and then give you a fixed quote. To get going, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
