Grease trap cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Chislet
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 check the trap is working properly. If you are dealing with a blocked kitchen drain caused by grease and sinks that drain slowly, we can put it right, from pot wash sinks, inline grease traps and restaurants and takeaways onwards.
In rural areas, a kitchen may drain to a private system rather than a public sewer, and fat getting past a grease trap can cause real trouble there.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
How it works
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the pictures you sent. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. From there, it takes less than an hour for many under-sink units. Visits to a village like Chislet are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- First, we find the trap and look at its connections.
- We make sure nothing drains into the trap.
- Grease and solids are removed from the trap.
- We clean every part of the inside.
- The trap is refitted, tested with water and the waste taken away.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in

Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Related advice
What we’re called out for in Chislet
Every pan and plate washed sends grease towards the drain. They cool and float to the top of the trap, and the layer gets thicker day by day.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- A small trap that fills too quickly
- Gurgling from the sink waste
- An interceptor full of grease and solids
- A bad smell from the sinks or drains
A summer deep clean suits schools such as Chislet Church of England Primary School, as the kitchen can be stripped back with no lunches to serve.
Questions to ask before booking
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
- Whether a survey comes first
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
- Proof of insurance
Part by part
School, care home and staff kitchens
Kitchens that serve set mealtimes fill their traps more steadily. Planned cleaning fits their routine.
Inline grease traps
Several sinks may drain into one inline trap. That means more grease, so regular cleaning matters.

What else we do in Chislet
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.
Why deal with it now?
Pouring hot water or chemicals down a slow drain is a common quick fix. That only moves the grease further down the pipe, where it sets again. Emptying and cleaning the trap deals with the source. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.

A grease trap in kitchens like these fills steadily and needs emptying before it overflows. Food hygiene inspections in Chislet are the job of Canterbury City council’s environmental health team. Walls, floors, ceilings and equipment are all part of what they look at. Having the dates of the last deep clean to hand saves digging for them on the day. At about 57 miles from central London, Chislet sits well inside the area we cover. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours.

Fixed quotes for grease trap cleaning in Chislet
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- The size of the system
- The condition of the system
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
What you pay depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.
Asking for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Any previous report or certificate
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price, before work begins.
