How we handle grease trap cleaning in Boughton Malherbe
We clean grease traps for kitchens in Boughton Malherbe, whether it’s an under-sink unit or a larger inline trap. We come when the sinks are not needed so washing up isn’t interrupted. The work covers restaurants and takeaways, school and care home kitchens and under-sink grease traps, and people most often call us about a larger grease trap that needs emptying and a slow-draining kitchen sink.
Somewhere as small as Boughton Malherbe, the kitchens that need a deep clean are usually 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.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Why act early in Boughton Malherbe
Once the trap is full, grease heads for the drain. It hardens on the pipe walls until water cannot get through. Regular trap cleaning beats dealing with a blockage. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re unsure, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us for straight advice and a fixed quote.

Boughton Malherbe questions
Can you come to Boughton Malherbe after we close?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The site is handed back ready to open. Let us know the hours you are closed and we’ll book within them.
Which council inspects kitchens in Boughton Malherbe?
That is Maidstone council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Boughton Malherbe. Keep the dates of your last deep clean and grease trap visit with your food safety records, ready if an officer asks.
How far ahead should we book?
Earlier is better, particularly for night and weekend visits. We typically quote within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
Do you recommend a next date?
Yes. How often depends on use and condition, and we explain the reasoning on the report.
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 tell you in advance.
What do you do to protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. The work is kept contained and leave the area clean.
What about areas you can’t get to?
They’re marked on the report. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, and we can fit those.
How regularly does a grease trap need emptying?
It varies with the trap and the kitchen. If the sinks start to drain slowly between cleans, it’s too long and we will adjust the schedule.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
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. That is our job.
What affects the quote in Boughton Malherbe
You will get a fixed price before work begins. It’s based on:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Parking and loading at the site
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we’ll price it together.
Asking for a quote
Many jobs can be priced from pictures and some basics. Useful things to send:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it

How the visit works
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the photos you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further.

- A visit is booked around your service.
- The trap is opened up and checked.
- Built-up grease and food waste are taken out.
