How we handle grease trap cleaning in Boyden Gate
Once a trap is full, grease passes straight through. Further down the pipe, the grease cools and hardens, leading to slow drains, blockages and smells. A trap that’s cleaned regularly keeps grease where it belongs. If you have a kitchen drain that smells and an under-sink unit that needs regular emptying, we can help.
In a village or hamlet like Boyden Gate, commercial kitchens are few, perhaps a pub, a school or a care home. 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. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

What affects the quote in Boyden Gate
Your quote is based on your site. We consider:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- The scale of the work
- Parking and loading at the site
- 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 are not sure what’s needed, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email for straight advice and a fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
What to send for a quote:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Problems your staff have spotted
We don’t publish a price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To start, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
How the visit works
Each visit runs to the same pattern: protect the area, make the system safe, carry out the grease trap cleaning, tidy up and leave you the report. On site, the work takes less than an hour for many under-sink units. Somewhere as small as Boyden Gate, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- A visit is booked around your service.
- The trap is opened up and checked.
- Built-up grease and food waste are taken out.
- The inside, baffles and outlet are cleaned.
- We close it up, check it drains and suggest when it needs cleaning again.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
Getting a quote
To get a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. We usually come back within one working day.

Why deal with it now?
In Boyden Gate, as anywhere, grease trap cleaning is a short, routine visit. Waiting for a blockage turns it into an urgent problem and normally at the worst moment. In a small place like Boyden Gate, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
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 will price it together.

What a clean won’t put right
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Blockages further down the drainage network
- Drains that need jetting rather than trap cleaning
- A unit that can’t cope with the kitchen’s output
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will tell you honestly before you book.

For landlords and multi-site operators
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Kent. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
Commercial kitchens in Boyden Gate
In Boyden Gate, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Canterbury City council. They look at the cleanliness of the whole kitchen: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment. Keeping a record of deep cleans and grease trap visits helps at inspection time. About 56 miles out from central London, Boyden Gate is part of the South East area we work across. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site.
School kitchens, at schools like Chislet Church of England Primary School for example, usually have their deep cleans and grease trap work done while the canteen is closed. Hall kitchens near Church of St Mary the Virgin or elsewhere in Boyden Gate may have older sinks and drains, so a grease trap check is worth adding to a deep clean. Healthcare kitchens cook through the year, so a deep clean has to be fitted around meals; St Martins Hospital, about 6 miles south-west, is the nearest hospital to Boyden Gate.

What staff can safely do
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.
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. That part needs specialist access and equipment.

Looking after it afterwards
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Keep access to the trap clear
- Tell us when sinks start draining slowly
- Avoid pouring boiling water down to shift grease
- Get food waste into the bin, not the sink
Anything we notice beyond the trap, like a slow drain downstream, is pointed out. It may need a drainage specialist to look further.
Slow sinks and a bad smell are early warnings. Acting at this stage typically prevents a blockage down the line.
Common questions in Boyden Gate
Can you come to Boyden Gate after we close?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. It means the site in Boyden Gate keeps running as normal. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Will you come out to Boyden Gate?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Boyden Gate is covered. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
Protection goes down first: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
What happens to the waste?
We contain it and take it with us. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go rather than letting it spread.
Which sectors do you work in?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, plus food production and leisure sites.
How long does a grease trap clean take?
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 will say so when we quote.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so sites at different addresses can be planned together as one programme. Each site gets its own report and pictures.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
