What staff can safely do
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Grease trap cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Cop Street
A neglected grease trap stops doing its job. Further down the pipe, the grease cools and hardens, leading to slow drains, blockages and smells. Regular cleaning keeps it working. We’re often asked to deal with a larger grease trap that needs emptying and drains clogged with fat, on restaurants and takeaways, pot wash sinks and kitchen waste pipes.
Somewhere as small as Cop Street, 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.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

What happens if it’s left?
In Cop Street, as anywhere, grease trap cleaning is a short, routine visit. A blocked drain is an emergency and usually at the worst moment. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Cop Street rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
What you pay depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.

Cop Street: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Cop Street?
Yes. Cop Street is within the area we cover across London and the South East. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Do you work overnight in Cop Street?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. That way a site in Cop Street doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
How long will the sinks be out of use?
The size and state of the trap make the difference, but a clean generally takes an hour or so for an under-sink trap, longer for a larger unit. We will confirm when we quote.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7, for problems that cannot wait. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
Where does the waste go?
It leaves the site with us when we go. During the work, it’s contained to keep the area clean.
How much notice should we give?
For planned work, earlier is better, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
What’s TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we’ve been trading since 2009.
What a clean won’t put right
Grease trap cleaning cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not put right:
- Plumbing leaks around the sink
- Grease set hard in the drain run
- Blockages in the public sewer beyond the property
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly.

Commercial kitchens in Cop Street
The Food Standards Agency lists about 4 pubs and bars as registered food businesses within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Cop Street. Wherever they cook, the kitchen and its drains need the same attention as a restaurant’s. Food hygiene inspections in Cop Street are the job of Dover council’s environmental health team. Walls, floors, ceilings and equipment are all part of what they look at. A record of each deep clean helps show the kitchen is kept in order.
Historic houses such as Goodnestone Park (about 4.1 miles south-west) are part of the area around Cop Street, and if you run event catering at a venue like that, a deep clean between seasons helps. If you look after a hall kitchen near Church of St Nicholas or anywhere in Cop Street, a deep clean between busy seasons is easier than a scramble before a big event. Half-term is a good time for school kitchens, at schools like Ash Cartwright and Kelsey Church of England Primary School for instance, to have the grease trap emptied and the kitchen deep cleaned.
