The process
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool before work begins, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes less than an hour for many under-sink units. A few photos of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Clement Street.
- First, we locate the grease trap and look at the pipework around it.
- Nothing drains into the trap while it’s open.
- Built-up fat, oil and grease is removed from the trap.
- The inside, baffles and pipe connections are cleaned.
- Once it’s refitted, water is run through to check it drains, and we take the waste with us.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use

How we handle grease trap cleaning in Clement Street
Fats, oils and grease are the main cause of blocked kitchen drains. Further on, grease can build into fatbergs in the sewer. A well-maintained trap keeps them out of the drains. The work covers school and care home kitchens, pot wash sinks and inline grease traps, and the jobs we see most are an under-sink trap that keeps filling up and gurgling from the sink waste.
Somewhere as small as Clement Street, 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.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

Common problems we fix in Clement Street
Fats, oils and grease from cooking and washing up go down the sink. In the trap, they cool and separate, and the layer gets thicker day by day.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- An overdue grease trap
- An inline trap or interceptor due for cleaning
- An under-sink trap that keeps filling up
- Scheduled grease trap emptying
If you run a kitchen in an older building near Clement Street, such as a historic house like Hall Place and Gardens (about 3.3 miles north-west), older drains make a working grease trap all the more important.

What grease trap cleaning cannot fix
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Plumbing leaks around the sink
- Grease deep in the drains, which needs jetting by a drainage contractor
- Collapsed or damaged drains, which need a drainage contractor

What the work covers
- Under-sink grease traps
- Inline grease traps
- Pot wash sinks
- Kitchen waste pipes
- Restaurants and takeaways
- School and care home kitchens
What the work involves, part by part
School, care home and staff kitchens
Kitchens that serve set mealtimes fill their traps more steadily. A regular interval suits them well.
Restaurant and takeaway kitchens
Visits are booked when the sinks are not in use so you do not lose trade.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
Grease trap cleaning around Clement Street
There are about 7 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 5 takeaways and sandwich shops in Clement Street and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. A grease trap in kitchens like these fills steadily and needs emptying before it overflows. Kitchens in Clement Street get their food hygiene inspections from Dartford council. They look at the cleanliness of the whole kitchen: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment. A cleaning log that includes deep cleans and grease trap visits shows the work is planned.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as West Hill Hospital (about 2.2 miles north), cook for long hours, so deep cleans and grease trap work are planned around patients’ meals.

Clement Street: your questions answered
Is Clement Street within the area you cover?
Yes. Clement Street is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Which council inspects kitchens in Clement Street?
That’s Dartford council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Clement Street. An officer may look behind equipment and at drains, so it pays to have the deep clean booked before those areas build up.
Where does the grease from the trap go?
We take the grease and solids away with us. Nothing greasy is left on site when we go.
Which grease traps does the service cover?
We cover under-sink, inline and interceptor units. Each one is emptied, cleaned and checked in the same careful way.
What does a grease trap clean cost?
We price it once we know the trap and how often it needs cleaning. Get in touch and we’ll give you a fixed quote so you know the cost up front.
How much notice should we give?
For planned work, earlier is better, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
Will the grease trap clean disrupt the kitchen?
While the trap is being cleaned, nothing can drain into it. That’s why we time visits around service to keep disruption down.
What types of premises do you cover?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. Work is timed around how each site runs.
