- A routine grease trap service
- An under-sink unit that needs regular emptying
Honest limits
Grease trap cleaning cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It doesn’t solve:
- A leaking sink waste or trap connection
- Collapsed or damaged drains, which need a drainage contractor
- Drains that need jetting rather than trap cleaning
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Where we work
- School and care home kitchens
- Inline grease traps
- Under-sink grease traps
- Restaurants and takeaways
- Pot wash sinks
- Kitchen waste pipes
Grease trap cleaning in Eastwood, done properly
A neglected grease trap stops doing its job. Further down the pipe, the grease cools and hardens and the result is blocked drains and bad smells. A trap that’s cleaned regularly keeps grease where it belongs. The work covers under-sink grease traps, school and care home kitchens and inline grease traps, and common reasons people get in touch are grease setting in the kitchen pipework and scheduled grease trap emptying.
Rural kitchens may drain to a septic tank or a private drain rather than straight into a public sewer, and fat getting past a grease trap can cause real trouble there.
A written report with photos follows each visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What the work involves, part by part
Under-sink grease traps
Under-sink units are easy to forget. When they fill, the sink slows and starts to smell.
Baffles and outlets
We check the inlet, outlet and baffles at each clean so the trap works as it should.
Commercial kitchens in Eastwood
Eastwood, about 38 miles from central London, is within our usual area. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you. Environmental health officers from Maidstone council inspect food businesses in Eastwood. An inspection covers the structure of the kitchen as well as the food. A cleaning log that includes deep cleans and grease trap visits shows the work is planned.
A summer deep clean suits schools such as Ulcombe Church of England Primary School, as the kitchen can be stripped back with no lunches to serve.

How we price grease trap cleaning
Your quote is based on your site. We consider:
- The times the site is available
- The condition of the system
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Travel, parking and unloading
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before any work starts.
What to send for a quote

Eastwood: your questions answered
Can you come to Eastwood after we close?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. It means the site in Eastwood keeps running as normal. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Do you work in villages like Eastwood?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Do you deal with blocked drains beyond the grease trap?
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.
How do you protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before any work starts, and waste is contained as we go. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
How regularly does a grease trap need emptying?
It depends on the size of the trap and how busy the kitchen is. Small under-sink units fill faster than larger traps, and busy kitchens fill them faster still. We will recommend a schedule once we’ve seen it.
Will I get paperwork for my records?
Yes, on every job. It’s a dated, written report with photos, and TR19® Grease cleans come with a certificate through the BESCA VHE portal. File it with your fire safety records.
How much notice should we give?
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.
Which accreditations do you hold?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We have been trading since 2009 and we are fully insured.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
The process
We are used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so the site can open as normal afterwards. On site, the work takes a short visit for a small trap and longer for an inline unit or interceptor. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Eastwood, let us know and we will plan around it.
- We agree a time when the sinks aren’t needed.
- The trap is opened up and checked.
- We remove the grease layer and settled solids.
- The inside, baffles and outlet are cleaned.
- The trap is closed, tested and the next clean discussed.
Before we arrive
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Move anything stored near the system
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
Getting a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before work begins.

Signs you need grease trap cleaning in Eastwood
Food scraps go down the sink with the washing-up water. It settles in the trap as solids and takes up space.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- An under-sink trap that keeps filling up
- A larger grease trap that needs emptying
- A routine grease trap service
- Foul odours from the grease trap
If you run event catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Leeds Castle is about 3.4 miles north-west), a deep clean before or after the busy season is worth planning.
