About our grease trap cleaning in Coxheath
For kitchens across Coxheath, grease trap cleaning fits easily around service. We empty, clean and check the trap and remove the waste. It can be booked on its own or alongside other kitchen work. The work covers under-sink grease traps, kitchen waste pipes and inline grease traps, and the jobs we see most are foul odours from the grease trap and sinks that drain slowly.
In a place like Coxheath, kitchens often sit in older buildings with older drains. A blocked drain or a smelly grease trap is normally the first sign.
We have been trading since 2009, and we’re 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.

When it’s something else
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

What we are called out for in Coxheath
Oil tipped down the drain instead of being collected overloads the trap fast. Even small amounts add up.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- A blocked kitchen drain caused by grease
- Drains that gurgle and bubble
- An inline trap or interceptor due for cleaning
- Sinks that drain slowly
School kitchens, at schools like Coxheath Primary School for example, normally have their deep cleans and grease trap work done while the canteen is closed.

Coxheath questions
Do you work overnight in Coxheath?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Coxheath needn’t be disturbed. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Can you get to a site in Coxheath?
Yes. Coxheath is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. The legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005: the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19® is the recognised way to show grease is under control.
Do you take the waste away?
The fat, oil, grease and solids we remove go with us. None of it goes back into the drains, of course.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. For many sites, pictures and a few details are enough, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
It depends on the building. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person, which can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, an FM or a managing agent.
Can you clear our blocked drains as well?
That depends on the cause. If the trap is full, cleaning it often helps but grease set further down the drains needs jetting by a drainage specialist.
Grease trap cleaning in Coxheath: local notes
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 7 pubs and bars within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Coxheath. Wherever food is prepared there, a periodic deep clean and a clear grease trap keep things in order. Food hygiene inspections in Coxheath are the job of Maidstone council’s environmental health team. Grease behind equipment or on a ceiling is the kind of thing an inspection can note. Photos and dates from each deep clean make a useful record.
Hall and church kitchens, near Holy Trinity Church or anywhere around Coxheath, are used by many hands, and periodic deep cleans and grease trap visits keep them in order. Oakwood Hospital, about 2.4 miles north, is the nearest hospital to Coxheath; healthcare kitchens can’t stop cooking, so deep cleans are worked around meal times.

Fixed quotes for grease trap cleaning in Coxheath
Every site gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The number of sites or systems
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Any permits to work or inductions
- A single visit or a regular plan
We don’t list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us, and we’ll explain what it covers.
What we need to know
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
Getting a quote does not take long. Send a few details and pictures, and we normally reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
Between visits
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Book trap cleans at a set interval
- Do not rely on hot water to clear grease
- Act on gurgling or smelly drains
- Let us know if the kitchen gets busier
Anything we notice beyond the trap, like a slow drain downstream, is pointed out. It may need a drainage specialist to look further.
Slow sinks and a bad smell are early warnings. Getting it cleaned now can stop a full blockage down the line.
Why act early in Coxheath
A full grease trap lets grease through to the drains. There it sets and narrows the pipe until water can’t get through. Cleaning the trap regularly is far easier than clearing a blocked drain. In a smaller place like Coxheath, a site that has to close is felt quickly.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.
Why book with us
- We diagnose before we treat
- In business since 2009
- One number for every site across the South East and London
- Accredited under CHAS and SafeContractor, with ISO 9001
How it works
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your pictures. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, the work takes anything from under an hour to a few hours, depending on the trap. In a smaller place like Coxheath, parking is rarely the issue, but tell us about gates, roof access and opening hours.
- We start by finding the trap and checking its inlet and outlet.
- Nothing drains into the trap while it’s open.
- The trap is emptied of grease and food waste.
- We clean the chambers, baffles and connections.
- The trap is reassembled, checked for leaks and the waste taken away.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Move anything stored near the system
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
