FAQs for Breach
Which council inspects kitchens in Breach?
In Breach, it’s Canterbury City council that carries out food hygiene inspections. An officer may look behind equipment and at drains, so it pays to have the deep clean booked before those areas build up.
Can you work in Breach outside opening hours?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The site is handed back ready to open. Let us know the hours you are closed and we will book within them.
How much time does a grease trap clean need?
Most grease trap cleans take anything from under an hour to a few hours, depending on the trap, including testing. We plan the visit around your service.
Where does the grease from the trap go?
The fat, oil, grease and solids we remove go with us. None of it goes back into the drains, of course.
What does a grease trap clean cost?
Every trap is different, so we price each one individually. We give you a fixed price, normally within one working day.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not usually. We work when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends, so you keep your normal hours.
Do you recommend a next date?
Yes. The interval depends on how much the system is used and what we find and the report sets out why.
How often should a grease trap be cleaned?
There’s no single answer. The interval depends on how quickly your trap fills, then suggest a schedule.
About our grease trap cleaning in Breach
A clean trap means flowing drains and no foul smells. The fat, oil, grease and solids are taken out, clean the inside and the baffles and the trap checked before we leave. The work covers kitchen waste pipes, restaurants and takeaways and pot wash sinks, and people most often call us about a blocked kitchen drain caused by grease and an inline trap or interceptor due for cleaning.
Somewhere as small as Breach, the kitchens that need a deep clean are usually a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still needs the occasional deep clean and its grease trap kept clear.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with photos of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Keeping the system healthy
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Book trap cleans at a set interval
- Mention any increase in cooking
- Wipe grease off pans before washing them
- Avoid pouring boiling water down to shift grease
Scrape plates into the bin before washing up. Sink strainers help catch solids so less solid waste gets through.
An overfull trap lets grease pass. Regular emptying keeps it working and saves a call-out for a blocked drain.
What affects the cost of grease trap cleaning
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- How easy every part is to reach
You will not find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and we will talk you through it.
What to send for a quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. The most useful are:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts.
Part by part
Baffles and outlets
Baffles inside the trap slow the water so grease can separate. Grease clings to them, so we clean them.
Under-sink grease traps
An under-sink trap is out of sight. When they fill, the sink slows and starts to smell.
How it works
Your trading hours come first. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes anything from under an hour to a few hours, depending on the trap. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Breach before we set off.
- We start by finding the trap and checking its inlet and outlet.
- Nothing drains into the trap while it’s open.
- The trap is emptied of grease and food waste.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
How to get a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
Advice
Other services in Breach
What your team can do, and what needs us
If your staff spot something 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 can diagnose it and quote.
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
What grease trap cleaning can’t fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Broken pipework below ground
- Plumbing leaks around the sink
- A grease trap that is too small for the kitchen
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll tell you honestly.

Breach kitchens: local notes
Kitchens in Breach get their food hygiene inspections from Canterbury City council. An inspection covers the structure of the kitchen as well as the food. Having the dates of the last deep clean to hand saves digging for them on the day. About 58 miles out from central London, Breach is part of the South East area we work across. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours.
A deep clean in Breach covers walls, floors, ceilings and equipment, done while the kitchen is shut. If you run a kitchen in an older building near Breach, such as a historic house like Acrise Place (about 3.4 miles south), older drains make a working grease trap all the more important.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
