About our grease trap cleaning in Chalksole Green
A grease trap catches fats, oils and grease from the kitchen sinks before they reach the drain. As the waste water cools, the grease floats and stays in the trap, and clean water flows on. Eventually it fills and needs emptying and cleaning. We’re often asked to deal with washing-up water that won’t drain away and a bad smell from the sinks or drains, on kitchen waste pipes, restaurants and takeaways and inline grease traps.
Work in a small place like Chalksole Green starts with agreeing a date and access, and the deep clean is the same as anywhere: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That’s why every job is written up in a report with photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

What else we do in Chalksole Green
What we’re called out for in Chalksole Green
Oil tipped down the drain instead of being collected fills a grease trap far faster than washing-up. Even small amounts add up.
Look out for any of the following:
- A bad smell from the sinks or drains
- A routine grease trap service
- Gurgling from the sink waste
- An interceptor full of grease and solids
Historic houses such as Acrise Place (about 3.6 miles west) are part of the area around Chalksole Green, and if you run event catering at a venue like that, a deep clean between seasons helps.

- What happens if part of the system cannot be accessed
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
How we price grease trap cleaning
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We consider:
- The condition of the system
- Parking and loading at the site
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- A single visit or a regular plan
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Helping us quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Your last certificate, test record or report
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. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
What happens on the day
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes a short visit for a small trap and longer for an inline unit or interceptor, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Chalksole Green and turn up when the site is quiet.
- We agree a time when the sinks aren’t needed.
- The trap is opened up and checked.
- We remove the grease layer and settled solids.
- We clean the baffles, inlet and outlet.
- We close it up, check it drains and suggest when it needs cleaning again.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
How to get a quote

FAQs for Chalksole Green
Can you get to a site in Chalksole Green?
Yes. Chalksole Green is within the area we cover across London and the South East. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Who inspects food businesses in Chalksole Green?
That’s Dover council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Chalksole Green. How often a business is inspected depends on the council’s risk rating for it, so the kitchen needs to be ready at any time.
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.
Do you deal with blocked drains beyond the grease trap?
Our service covers the grease trap itself. Where the problem is further down the drain, we will say so and suggest a drainage contractor.
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. A large or very full trap takes longer and we will say so when we quote.
Do you provide a certificate or report?
Yes, on every job. It’s a dated, written report with photos, plus a certificate via the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal for TR19® Grease cleans. File it with your fire safety records.
What does a grease trap clean cost?
We price it once we know the trap and how often it needs cleaning. Just ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll quote so you know the cost up front.
What problems does a full grease trap cause?
An overfull trap stops separating grease. Slow drains, bad smells and blockages follow.
