How we handle grease trap cleaning in Blue Town
Every trap is different. Under-sink units are small and fill quickly 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. Typical jobs include a full, neglected grease trap and an under-sink trap that keeps filling up, on pot wash sinks, kitchen waste pipes and school and care home kitchens.
Around a place like Blue Town, deep clean work tends to mean pubs, cafés and school or care home kitchens. A smaller kitchen still builds up grease where everyday cleaning doesn’t reach.
We’ve been trading since 2009, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.

Grease trap cleaning around Blue Town
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 15 pubs, bars and clubs in Blue Town and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Pub and hotel kitchens get the same build-up behind equipment and in the grease trap as any other. Kitchens in Blue Town get their food hygiene inspections from Swale council. Walls, floors, ceilings and equipment are all part of what they look at. Photos and dates from each deep clean make a useful record.
Half-term is a good time for school kitchens, at schools like St Edward's Catholic Primary School for instance, to have the grease trap emptied and the kitchen deep cleaned. Hall kitchens near Parish Church of the Holy Trinity or elsewhere in Blue Town may have older sinks and drains, so a grease trap check is worth adding to a deep clean.

Questions from Blue Town
Is Blue Town within the area you cover?
Yes. Blue Town is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Blue Town?
Food hygiene inspections in Blue Town are carried out by Swale council. Photos from a deep clean are a simple record of what was done and when.
Do we need to stop using the sinks while you work?
While the trap is being cleaned, nothing can drain into it. We book the visit around your service so the kitchen is not held up.
What accreditations do you have?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We are fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site in our area, with visits on a regular schedule.
Will I get paperwork for my records?
Yes, always. The report is dated and includes photos, plus a certificate via the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal for TR19® Grease cleans. Keep it in your maintenance log.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, always. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it and the fixed quote is built on it.
How much time does a grease trap clean need?
Typically, it takes an hour or so for an under-sink trap, longer for a larger unit. Bigger or overdue traps need more time and we’ll say so when we quote.
Honest limits
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Broken pipework below ground
- Grease deep in the drains, which needs jetting by a drainage contractor
- A grease trap that’s too small for the kitchen
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Signs you need grease trap cleaning in Blue Town
A full trap can’t hold any more grease. It goes on into the drain and the sewer beyond, where it can cause blockages.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A small trap that fills too quickly
- A regular cleaning plan for the grease trap
- A blocked kitchen drain caused by grease
- Washing-up water that won’t drain away
If you serve passing trade near Sheerness-On-Sea station, a grease trap on a regular schedule keeps the drains running through busy weeks.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.

How it works
Protection comes first: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes a short visit for a small trap and longer for an inline unit or interceptor, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. Your opening hours decide when we come to Blue Town, not ours.
- We find the trap and check how it’s connected.
- We ask for the sinks that drain into the trap not to be used.
- Built-up fat, oil and grease is removed from the trap.
- Every part of the trap is scraped and cleaned, including the baffles.
- Once it’s refitted, water is run through to check it drains, and we take the waste with us.
Before we arrive
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
How to get a quote
To get a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. We usually come back within one working day.

Aftercare tips
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Wipe grease off pans before washing them
- Do not store things on top of the trap
- Use strainers in the sink plugholes
- Book trap cleans at a set interval
Scrape plates into the bin before washing up. Use strainers in the sink plugholes before they reach the trap.
If the sinks are slow or smelly, the trap may be full. Acting at this stage typically prevents a blockage later.
Why it’s worth doing now in Blue Town
Once the trap is full, grease heads for the drain. There it sets and narrows the pipe until water cannot get through. Cleaning the trap regularly is far easier than clearing a blocked drain. A quieter site near Blue Town still needs its system looked after.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are unsure, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form for straight advice and a fixed quote.
