Grease trap cleaning in Ebbsfleet, done properly
A neglected grease trap stops doing its job. Fat sets in the pipes downstream and the result is blocked drains and bad smells. Regular cleaning keeps it working. If you have a full, neglected grease trap and a slow-draining kitchen sink, we can put it right, from restaurants and takeaways, pot wash sinks and school and care home kitchens onwards.
Work in a small place like Ebbsfleet starts with agreeing a date and access, and the deep clean is the same as anywhere: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.
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 give you a fixed quote.

Leave it or put it right?
Smells from a neglected trap are hard to ignore. Decomposing waste in the trap smells bad that can reach the kitchen and beyond. A clean trap takes the source away. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.
Why us?
- Fixed quotes, typically within one working day
- A written report with photos after every visit
- Survey first, then a fixed quote
- Accredited under CHAS and SafeContractor, with ISO 9001

Common problems we fix in Ebbsfleet
Hot water and detergent carry grease further than you’d expect. Once it cools, it sets in the pipework or the drain.
What we are most often called out for:
- Gurgling from the sink waste
- A bad smell from the sinks or drains
- An overdue grease trap
- A small trap that fills too quickly
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Ramsgate General Hospital about 2.8 miles east, deep cleans and grease trap visits are planned so meals still go out.

FAQs for Ebbsfleet
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Ebbsfleet?
Kitchens in Ebbsfleet are inspected by Dover council’s environmental health officers. Keep the dates of your last deep clean and grease trap visit with your food safety records, ready if an officer asks.
Can you get to a site in Ebbsfleet?
Yes. Ebbsfleet is within the area we cover across London and the South East. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
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.
What types of premises do you cover?
Commercial premises of every kind: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. We fit the work around how the site operates.
How much does grease trap cleaning cost?
No two traps are quite the same, so we price each one individually. You get a fixed quote, normally within one working day.
How long will the sinks be out of use?
Each trap is a little different, and you can expect it to take a short visit for a small trap and longer for an inline unit or interceptor. We will confirm when we quote.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. We always survey first, either from photos and details you send or on a site visit. A fixed quote follows.
What problems does a full grease trap cause?
An overfull trap stops separating grease. The result is slow drains, foul odours and eventually a blockage.
Commercial kitchens in Ebbsfleet
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 4 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Ebbsfleet. Kitchens like these wash fat, oil and grease down the sink every day, and a grease trap is what stops it reaching the sewer. Kitchens in Ebbsfleet get their food hygiene inspections from Dover council. Grease behind equipment or on a ceiling is the kind of thing an inspection can note. A record of each deep clean helps show the kitchen is kept in order.
If you run event catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Quex Park is about 3.8 miles north), a deep clean before or after the busy season is worth planning.

The process
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the pictures you sent. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. From there, it takes a short visit for a small trap and longer for an inline unit or interceptor. If you can send photos, we can arrive in Ebbsfleet knowing what to expect.
- We locate the trap and check how it’s fitted.
- We make sure nothing drains into the trap.
- We empty out the fat, oil, grease and solids.
- We clean every part of the inside.
- The trap is refitted, tested with water and the waste taken away.
Before we arrive
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
