Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- A full, neglected grease trap
- Scheduled grease trap emptying
- Grease setting in the kitchen pipework
- An inline trap or interceptor due for cleaning

Grease trap cleaning in Dean Street, done properly
Every trap is different. Under-sink traps are compact and need frequent attention, while inline traps and interceptors hold more. We look at the trap, how much the kitchen uses it and how quickly it fills and suggest an interval that suits. The work covers restaurants and takeaways, inline grease traps and under-sink grease traps, and common reasons people get in touch are foul odours from the grease trap and a blocked kitchen drain caused by grease.
In a village or hamlet like Dean Street, commercial kitchens are few, perhaps a pub, a school or a care home. Each still needs the occasional deep clean and its grease trap kept clear.
Each visit ends with a written report and pictures, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
What grease trap cleaning cannot fix
In fairness, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- Blockages in the public sewer beyond the property
- A unit that can’t cope with the kitchen’s output
- Broken pipework below ground
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Parts of the system we cover
- Inline grease traps
- Restaurants and takeaways

Your questions about grease trap cleaning in Dean Street
Do you work in villages like Dean Street?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Which council inspects kitchens in Dean Street?
The local authority for Dean Street is Maidstone council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. 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.
What problems does a full grease trap cause?
A full trap can’t catch any more grease. The grease hardens in the pipes, leading to blocked drains and smells and can end up adding to sewer blockages.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, and the emergency line covers the rest.
What does a grease trap clean cost?
Every trap is different, so we price each one individually. You get a fixed quote, typically within one working day.
Do we need to stop using the sinks while you work?
For the length of the clean, yes. The clean takes less than an hour for many under-sink units, and we time it to suit you.
How far ahead should we book?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
What’s the right interval for grease trap cleaning?
There’s no single answer. The interval depends on how quickly your trap fills and we will advise on timing.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Wipe grease off pans before washing them
- Let us know if the kitchen gets busier
- Hot water only moves grease further down
- Make sure the trap can be reached easily
The waste we remove leaves with us. Nothing is left for you to dispose of after the visit.
Grease that gets past the trap sets in the drains. Once it’s there, it needs a drainage contractor to clear, so it’s far better to keep the trap clean.
What happens if it’s left?
Pouring hot water or chemicals down a slow drain is a common quick fix. That only moves the grease further down the pipe to set somewhere harder to reach. Emptying and cleaning the trap deals with the source. With notice, the visit to Dean Street can be fitted around your bookings and events.
You won’t find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, and we’ll explain what it covers.
