Every clean includes the baffles, inlet and outlet so water flows freely.
Grease trap cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Dungeness
Fats, oils and grease are the main cause of blocked kitchen drains. Further on, grease can build into fatbergs in the sewer. A well-maintained trap keeps them out of the drains. If you are dealing with washing-up water that won’t drain away and gurgling drains in the kitchen, we can help.
For a kitchen in or near Dungeness, the visit is planned ahead, around opening times and the journey, and the deep clean is the same as anywhere: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
What we are called out for in Dungeness
Waste cooking oil poured down the sink overloads the trap fast. Small amounts soon build up.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Washing-up water that will not drain away
- A small trap that fills too quickly

Dungeness: your questions answered
Do you work overnight in Dungeness?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. Your customers, staff or residents in Dungeness needn’t be disturbed. Just ring 0345 646 2711 or email us with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Who inspects food businesses in Dungeness?
Kitchens in Dungeness are inspected by Folkestone and Hythe council’s environmental health officers. Inspection results feed into the food hygiene rating published by the Food Standards Agency.
Will cleaning the grease trap fix a blocked drain?
A trap clean removes the grease in the trap, and can clear the problem where the trap was the cause. Blockages further down the drain, or damaged pipework, need a drainage contractor.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes, of course. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we will propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We carry full insurance and have been trading since 2009.
What do you do with what you remove?
We contain it and take it with us. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go, so it doesn’t spread.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, either from pictures and details you send or on a site visit. A fixed quote follows.
Do you recommend a next date?
Yes. The report recommends when the next visit should be, based on what we found and how the system is used.
