Grease trap cleaning in Davington, done properly
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. Common call-outs are for an inline trap or interceptor due for cleaning and scheduled grease trap emptying, on school and care home kitchens, under-sink grease traps and restaurants and takeaways.
For a kitchen near Davington, deep cleans are booked around opening hours, often on a closed day.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with photos, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Look up Davington on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 47 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 14 sandwich bars and takeaways across Davington and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). A grease trap in kitchens like these fills steadily and needs emptying before it overflows. Environmental health officers from Swale council inspect food businesses in Davington. Grease behind equipment or on a ceiling is the kind of thing an inspection can note. Having the dates of the last deep clean to hand saves digging for them on the day.

Part by part
Grease interceptors
Grease interceptors are larger units that serve busier kitchens. They hold more grease and solids, but they still need regular emptying and cleaning.
Baffles and outlets
Clean water leaves through the outlet. A blocked outlet stops the trap working.
What affects the cost of grease trap cleaning
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- The condition we find in the survey
- The scale of the work
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before we start.
What we need to know
What to send for a quote:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- A few general shots of the system
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your pictures and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price, before we start.
When to call us in Davington
If a trap isn’t emptied, grease passes straight through. It goes on into the drain and on towards the sewer, where it can cause blockages.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A slow-draining kitchen sink
- Grease setting in the kitchen pipework
- A kitchen drain that smells
- A routine grease trap service
For busy kitchens close to Faversham station, deep cleans and grease trap work can be done after closing.
Before booking anyone
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- Whether a written report and pictures are included
Keeping the system healthy
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Wipe grease off pans before washing them
- Hot water only moves grease further down
- Do not wait for a blockage to book a clean
- Keep waste oil out of the drains
We’ll suggest when the trap should be cleaned again. That depends on how quickly it filled and how much the kitchen cooks.
Fat that escapes the trap hardens in the pipework. Once it’s there, it needs a drainage contractor to clear, so it’s far better to keep the trap clean.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Davington
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so records stay tidy.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Every visit ends with a dated report and pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
How the visit works
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes a short visit for a small trap and longer for an inline unit or interceptor. Tell us about any gates, ladders or locked plant areas at your site near Davington when you book.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
