Grease trap cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Bexon
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. If you have sinks that drain slowly and grease setting in the kitchen pipework, we can help, from under-sink grease traps, kitchen waste pipes and pot wash sinks onwards.
Somewhere as small as Bexon, the kitchens that need a deep clean are normally 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.
We’ve been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

Signs you need grease trap cleaning in Bexon
Every pan and plate washed sends grease towards the drain. They cool and float to the top of the trap, and the layer gets thicker day by day.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- Gurgling from the sink waste
- Grease setting in the kitchen pipework
- A regular cleaning plan for the grease trap
- A small trap that fills too quickly
Half-term is a good time for school kitchens, at schools like Bredgar Church of England Primary School for instance, to have the grease trap emptied and the kitchen deep cleaned.

Common questions in Bexon
Which council inspects kitchens in Bexon?
That’s Swale council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Bexon. 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 work in school kitchens around Bexon out of term?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. There are about 4 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Bexon. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
What’s the right interval for grease trap cleaning?
The right interval depends on your trap and your cooking. If the sinks start to drain slowly between cleans, it’s too long and we’ll adjust the schedule.
How much notice should we give?
The more notice, the better, particularly for night and weekend visits. We usually quote within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
How do you protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. We keep the work contained and clean down when we finish.
Where does the waste go?
We contain it and take it with us. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on rather than letting it spread.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
Will you tell us when the next visit is due?
Yes. We put a recommended next date 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.
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, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Aftercare tips
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Fit sink strainers to catch food scraps
- Don’t rely on hot water to clear grease
- Make sure the trap can be reached easily
- Do not wait for a blockage to book a clean
We’ll suggest when the trap should be cleaned again. That depends on how quickly it filled and how busy the kitchen is.
If the sinks are slow or smelly, the trap may be full. Getting it cleaned now can stop a full blockage down the line.
Grease trap cleaning in Bexon: local notes
Food Standards Agency data counts about 4 restaurants, cafés and canteens in Bexon and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. A grease trap in kitchens like these fills steadily and needs emptying before it overflows. Environmental health officers from Swale council inspect food businesses in Bexon. Walls, floors, ceilings and equipment are all part of what they look at. Photos and dates from each deep clean make a useful record.
Hall and church kitchens, near Church of St John the Baptist or anywhere around Bexon, are used by many hands, and periodic deep cleans and grease trap visits keep them in order.

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.
Baffles and outlets
The baffles hold back grease while water flows on. They gather grease and debris, so we clean them.
How the visit works
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, it takes anything from under an hour to a few hours, depending on the trap. Somewhere as small as Bexon, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- First, we find the trap and look at its connections.
- Sinks feeding the trap are taken out of use.
- We empty out the fat, oil, grease and solids.
- We clean every part of the inside.
- The trap is refitted, tested with water and the waste taken away.
Before we arrive
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet

Managing agents and facilities teams in Bexon
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we will send a fixed quote.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
Why deal with it now?
A blocked drain can stop a kitchen in its tracks. Sinks won’t empty, and dirty water can back up. Keeping the trap clean reduces the risk. Somewhere as small as Bexon, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before we start.
