About our grease trap cleaning in Bluetown
A clean trap means flowing drains and no foul smells. We empty the built-up grease and food solids and the chambers and baffles cleaned, and check the trap is working properly. The work covers pot wash sinks, inline grease traps and under-sink grease traps, and the jobs we see most are an overdue grease trap and a kitchen drain that smells.
In rural areas, a kitchen may drain to a private system rather than a public sewer, and fat getting past a grease trap can cause real trouble there.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

Looking after it afterwards
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Do not rely on hot water to clear grease
- Keep strainers in every sink
- Book trap cleans at a set interval
- Tell us if your menu or hours change
The waste we remove leaves with us. There’s no greasy waste left on site after the visit.
More cooking means more grease in the trap. Shortening the cleaning interval now stops it overflowing.

How we price grease trap cleaning
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We consider:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- How big the system is
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re not sure what’s needed, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
What we need to know
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Any previous report or certificate
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Send a few details and pictures, and we usually reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
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 will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Different parts, different methods
Under-sink grease traps
Small grease traps sit under the sink. Their small size means they fill fast and need regular cleaning.
Inline grease traps
Inline traps may be under a floor panel or in a cupboard. We ask about access when we quote.
Signs you need grease trap cleaning in Bluetown
Oil tipped down the drain instead of being collected overloads the trap fast. Even small amounts add up.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Scheduled grease trap emptying
- An under-sink trap that keeps filling up
- A slow-draining kitchen sink
- A kitchen drain that smells
Half-term is a good time for school kitchens, at schools like Milstead and Frinsted Church of England Primary School for instance, to have the grease trap emptied and the kitchen deep cleaned.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether VAT is included
- Proof of insurance
- Whether a survey comes first
- Whether they recommend a next date
Leave it or put it right?
A smelly, overflowing trap attracts pests. Keeping the trap clean removes something they’re looking for as part of a clean kitchen. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
What you pay depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
Why us?
- Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus 24/7 emergency callout

Common questions in Bluetown
Will you come out to Bluetown?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Bluetown is covered. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Which council inspects kitchens in Bluetown?
Kitchens in Bluetown are inspected by Swale council’s environmental health officers. Inspection results feed into the food hygiene rating published by the Food Standards Agency.
Will you tell us when the next visit is due?
Yes. How often depends on use and condition and the report sets out why.
Do the sinks have to be out of use during the clean?
While we work, those sinks are out of use. It takes an hour or two in most kitchens, depending on the size and condition of the trap, and we time it to suit you.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and we can share the details when you need them.
What should go in our maintenance log?
Everything that shows the system is looked after: reports, certificates, pictures and your own cleaning or check logs. One maintenance log per site keeps it simple.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, as well as food production and leisure sites.
What happens if a grease trap isn’t cleaned?
An overfull trap lets grease into the drains. There it hardens on the pipe walls until they block. Regular cleaning prevents it.
The process
Night work is normal for us. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so the site can open as normal afterwards. The visit itself takes an hour or so for an under-sink trap, longer for a larger unit. For a village or hamlet like Bluetown, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- First, we find the trap and look at its connections.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
Getting a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your photos and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before we start.
