What happens if it’s left?
A blocked drain can stop a kitchen in its tracks. Water won’t drain away, and dirty water can back up. Cleaning the grease trap on time helps prevent it. In a place like Conyer, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
You won’t find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we’ll talk you through it.

Grease trap cleaning in Conyer
If the sinks drain slowly or smell, the trap is often the cause. In Conyer, as everywhere we work, our team empties and cleans the trap and run water through to check it drains. The work covers restaurants and takeaways, school and care home kitchens and under-sink grease traps, and common reasons people get in touch are drains that gurgle and bubble and an under-sink trap that keeps filling up.
Rural kitchens may drain to a septic tank or a private drain rather than straight into a public sewer, so keeping fat out with a working grease trap matters even more.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Conyer
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Keeping the system healthy
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Tell us if your menu or hours change
- Keep waste oil out of the drains
- Fit sink strainers to catch food scraps
- Don’t store things on top of the trap
If we spot problems beyond the trap, such as a drain that still runs slowly, we will tell you. That may need a drainage contractor to investigate.
If the kitchen has got busier, the trap fills faster. Booking cleans more often stops it overflowing.
Conyer kitchens: local notes
About 41 miles out from central London, Conyer is part of the South East area we work across. Evening, overnight and weekend visits are all possible. Food hygiene inspections in Conyer are the job of Swale council’s environmental health team. An inspection covers the structure of the kitchen as well as the food. Keeping a record of deep cleans and grease trap visits helps at inspection time.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Mary or elsewhere in Conyer, a deep clean and an emptied grease trap before a busy season of events are worth booking.

The process
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the work takes a short visit for a small trap and longer for an inline unit or interceptor. In a small place like Conyer, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- A visit is booked around your service.
- The trap is opened up and checked.
- We remove the grease layer and settled solids.
- The inside, baffles and outlet are cleaned.
- The trap is closed, tested and the next clean discussed.
Before we arrive
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Tell us where we can park and unload

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Conyer: your questions answered
Is Conyer within the area you cover?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Conyer is covered. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Which council inspects kitchens in Conyer?
Food hygiene inspections in Conyer are carried out by Swale council. 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.
How much notice do you need?
For planned work, earlier is better, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
How much does grease trap cleaning cost?
We price it once we know the trap and how often it needs cleaning. Get in touch and we will send you a fixed quote so you know the cost up front.
What paperwork should we keep on file?
Everything that shows the system is looked after: reports, certificates, pictures and your own cleaning or check logs. A single log for each site works best.
What problems does a full grease trap cause?
A full trap cannot catch any more grease. It then sets in the drains, causing blockages and smells and can end up adding to sewer blockages.
How much time does a grease trap clean need?
Each trap is a little different, and you can expect it to take an hour or two in most kitchens, depending on the size and condition of the trap. We’ll confirm when we quote.
What’s the right interval for grease trap cleaning?
It varies with the trap and the kitchen. Slow or smelly sinks between cleans mean it needs doing more often and we’ll adjust the schedule.
Honest limits
Before booking, it helps to know what’s not included:
- A trap undersized for the amount of cooking
- Plumbing leaks around the sink
- Collapsed or damaged drains, which need a drainage contractor
If you’re not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll give you a straight answer.
