Bobbing grease trap cleaning
Grease trap cleaning for Bobbing, from a team that has been trading since 2009. Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus a 24/7 emergency line.
- Grease setting in the kitchen pipework
- A full, neglected grease trap
- An under-sink trap that keeps filling up
Leave it or put it right?
A full grease trap lets grease through to the drains. There it sets and narrows the pipe until water cannot get through. Cleaning the trap regularly is far easier than clearing a blocked drain. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before we start.
Why us?
- We’re fully insured
- Trading since 2009
- CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, with ISO 9001
- Fixed quotes from a survey or pictures

Grease trap cleaning in Bobbing, done properly
Grease is behind most 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. We are often asked to deal with a bad smell from the sinks or drains and an interceptor full of grease and solids, on kitchen waste pipes, school and care home kitchens and inline grease traps.
Rural kitchens may drain to a septic tank or a private drain rather than straight into a public sewer, and fat getting past a grease trap can cause real trouble there.
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.

What the work involves, part by part
Baffles and outlets
Clean water leaves through the outlet. A blocked outlet stops the trap working.
Grease interceptors
Bigger kitchens may have a larger grease interceptor. They hold more grease and solids, but they still need regular emptying and cleaning.

How the visit works
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. The timing of a visit to Bobbing is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- 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.
- We take out the layer of fat, oil and grease and any solids.
- The inside, baffles and pipe connections are cleaned.
- We put it back together, run water through and remove the waste.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
Ask for a quote
We don’t publish a price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, and then give you a fixed quote. To start, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.

How we price grease trap cleaning
You’ll get a fixed price before work begins. It takes into account:
- The condition we find in the survey
- Parking and loading at the site
- The number of sites or systems
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
You will not find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we will talk you through it.
What to send for a quote
Many jobs can be priced from photos and some basics. Useful things to send:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- The postcode and the type of business
Getting a quote does not take long. Send a few details and photos, and we typically reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
What grease trap cleaning looks like in Bobbing
There are about 9 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 11 takeaways and sandwich shops in Bobbing and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Kitchens like these wash fat, oil and grease down the sink every day, and a grease trap is what stops it reaching the sewer. Environmental health officers from Swale council inspect food businesses in Bobbing. Grease behind equipment or on a ceiling is the kind of thing an inspection can note. Photos and dates from each deep clean make a useful record.
Hall and church kitchens, near Church of St Bartholomew or anywhere around Bobbing, are used by many hands, and periodic deep cleans and grease trap visits keep them in order.

Between visits
So the system stays in good health:
- Tell us when sinks start draining slowly
- Don’t wait for a blockage to book a clean
- Avoid pouring boiling water down to shift grease
- Fit sink strainers to catch food scraps
Between cleans, keep food scraps out of the sink. Sink strainers help catch solids so less solid waste gets through.
If the kitchen has got busier, the trap fills faster. Shortening the cleaning interval now stops it overflowing.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
When to call us in Bobbing
Waste cooking oil poured down the sink overloads the trap fast. Small amounts soon build up.
