Grease trap cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Coombe
A clean trap means flowing drains and no foul smells. The fat, oil, grease and solids are taken out and the chambers and baffles cleaned, and check the trap is working properly. Common call-outs are for drains that gurgle and bubble and a slow-draining kitchen sink, on kitchen waste pipes, school and care home kitchens and inline grease traps.
Somewhere as small as Coombe, the kitchens that need a deep clean are typically 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’ve been trading since 2009, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.

What we do, step by step
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your pictures. 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. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Coombe before we set off.
- 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.
- We refit it, run water through and remove the waste.
Preparing for the visit
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
Ask for a quote
Getting a quote does not take long. Send a few details and photos, and we typically reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.

Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The work in Coombe can fit around your hours. Let us know the hours you are closed and we will book within them.
Can a school kitchen in Coombe be done out of term time?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. Food Standards Agency records list about 2 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Coombe. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, fully. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it for clients who vet their contractors.
How much time does a grease trap clean need?
As a guide, it takes a short visit for a small trap and longer for an inline unit or interceptor. Bigger or overdue traps need more time and we will say so when we quote.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Usually not. Out-of-hours visits keep the disruption down. Larger jobs can be phased over several visits to keep things running.

Yes. Our area takes in London and the counties of South East England, and that includes Coombe.

What grease trap cleaning looks like in Coombe
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 3 pubs, bars and clubs within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Coombe. Wherever food is prepared there, a periodic deep clean and a clear grease trap keep things in order. In Coombe, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Dover council. 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.
If you run a kitchen in an older building near Coombe, such as a historic house like Goodnestone Park (about 3.5 miles south-west), older drains make a working grease trap all the more important. Where a church or community hall near Church of St Nicholas, or anywhere in Coombe, has a kitchen used by volunteers, a periodic deep clean keeps it ready for the next event. For schools such as Ash Cartwright and Kelsey Church of England Primary School, deep cleans and grease trap work are normally booked for the holidays.

Different parts, different methods
Under-sink grease traps
Under-sink units are easy to forget. When they fill, the sink slows and starts to smell.
Baffles and outlets
Every clean includes the baffles, inlet and outlet so the trap works as it should.
Keeping the system healthy
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- Mention any increase in cooking
- Book trap cleans at a set interval
- Use strainers in the sink plugholes
- Do not rely on hot water to clear grease
Once the trap is cleaned and refitted, the sinks can be used straight away. Water is run through to check everything flows before we go.
If the sinks are slow or smelly, the trap may be full. Getting it cleaned now can stop a full blockage down the line.
Why act early in Coombe
Once the trap is full, grease heads for the drain. There it sets and narrows the pipe until water can’t get through. Regular trap cleaning beats dealing with a blockage. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Coombe rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
