Grease trap cleaning in Cliffe Woods, done properly
If the sinks drain slowly or smell, the trap is often the cause. We find the trap, empty it and clean it, then check the water flows properly. If you have a kitchen drain that smells and an interceptor full of grease and solids, we can put it right, from inline grease traps, school and care home kitchens and kitchen waste pipes onwards.
Somewhere as small as Cliffe Woods, the kitchens that need a deep clean are usually a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Wherever there is one, it needs its grease trap and hard-to-reach areas kept clean.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

Part by part
Inline grease traps
Inline traps are fitted into the drain line. They hold more than under-sink units but still need regular emptying.
Restaurant and takeaway kitchens
We time visits to avoid service so you don’t lose trade.
How it works
Night work is normal for us. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so the site can open as normal afterwards. On site, the work takes anything from under an hour to a few hours, depending on the trap. Visits to a village like Cliffe Woods are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- A visit is booked around your service.
- We open the trap and look at its condition.
- We remove the grease layer and settled solids.
- We clean the baffles, inlet and outlet.
- The trap is closed, tested and the next clean discussed.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Find the previous report, if there is one

Related advice
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
For landlords and multi-site operators
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with pictures.
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.

Common questions in Cliffe Woods
Do you work in school kitchens around Cliffe Woods out of term?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. With about 3 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Cliffe Woods, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us with the dates the site is empty.

Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
The law calls them the responsible person. That is generally the employer or the person in control of the premises, and where several people have control, each can have duties. If you’re not sure, check your lease and fire risk assessment.
Why does a grease trap need regular cleaning?
Grease and food waste build up until the trap stops working. The result is slow drains, foul odours and eventually a blockage.
Which records should we keep?
Visit reports, certificates and your in-house cleaning logs. They’re what an insurer, fire officer or EHO may ask for, so keep them together and easy to find.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and the details are available on request.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
They’re marked on the report. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, and we can fit those.
Aftercare tips
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Report slow or smelly sinks early
- Use strainers in the sink plugholes
- Keep waste oil out of the drains
- Let us know if the kitchen gets busier
You’ll get our view on how often the trap needs cleaning. It’s based on how full it was and how much the kitchen cooks.
A fixed cleaning interval means the trap never gets overfull. The interval is set to suit the trap and the kitchen.
Honest limits
Grease trap cleaning can’t fix everything, and we will tell you before we start. It doesn’t solve:
- A unit that can’t cope with the kitchen’s output
- Blockages in the public sewer beyond the property
- Drains that need jetting rather than trap cleaning
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
