Grease trap cleaning in Eddington, done properly

For kitchens across Eddington, grease trap cleaning fits easily around service. We empty, clean and check the trap and remove the waste. It can be booked on its own or alongside other kitchen work. If you are dealing with a bad smell from the sinks or drains and scheduled grease trap emptying, we can help, from under-sink grease traps, restaurants and takeaways and school and care home kitchens onwards.

Work in a smaller place like Eddington is planned around your opening hours, and the journey is planned ahead.

Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

Multi-site and managed buildings

Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.

Looking after it afterwards

To keep the system working properly between visits:

  • Tell us when sinks start draining slowly
  • Make sure the trap can be reached easily
  • Get food waste into the bin, not the sink
  • Tell us if your menu or hours change

The waste we remove leaves with us. There’s no greasy waste left on site when we’re done.

A trap that’s left too long stops catching grease. Regular emptying keeps it working and saves a call-out for a blocked drain.

How it works

We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the work takes anything from under an hour to a few hours, depending on the trap. Your opening hours decide when we come to Eddington, not ours.

  1. A visit is booked around your service.
  2. The trap is opened up and checked.
  3. We remove the grease layer and settled solids.
  4. We clean the baffles, inlet and outlet.
  5. We close it up, check it drains and suggest when it needs cleaning again.

How to prepare

  • Arrange a key holder or contact on site
  • Clear the space around the work
  • Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in

Advice

Part by part

Grease interceptors

An interceptor works on the same principle as a smaller trap. Cooling water lets grease rise and solids settle.

School, care home and staff kitchens

School kitchens can be cleaned in the holidays or between meal services.

Questions from Eddington

Who inspects food businesses in Eddington?

Kitchens in Eddington are inspected by Canterbury City 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.

Do you work overnight in Eddington?

Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. That way a site in Eddington doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with your opening times and we will plan around them.

Do you offer emergency callouts?

Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line, for problems that cannot wait. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.

Are you accredited?

We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we are fully insured.

Will I get paperwork for my records?

Yes. You get a written report with pictures after each visit, covering the work, any areas we couldn’t access and the recommended next date. Kitchen extract cleans to TR19® Grease also get a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Do you cover Eddington?

Yes. Eddington is part of the area we cover, as part of our area across London and the South East.

Is there a survey before the work?

Yes. Every job is surveyed first, from your pictures and details, or with a visit where necessary. A fixed quote follows.

What do you do to protect the area?

Protection goes down first: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?

Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.

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.

How we price grease trap cleaning

Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:

  • Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
  • One-off work versus a regular cycle
  • Any permits to work or inductions
  • Where the site is and how we reach it

The cost depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.

Asking for a quote

A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:

  • Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
  • Your last certificate, test record or report
  • Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
  • Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall

Getting a quote does not take long. Call or email with a few details and you will typically have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.

What grease trap cleaning looks like in Eddington

Food Standards Agency records list about 81 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 34 sandwich bars and takeaways in and around Eddington, up to about a mile and a half out. Wherever they wash pans and plates, fat heads for the drain unless a trap catches it. Food hygiene inspections in Eddington are the job of Canterbury City council’s environmental health team. The state of floors, drains and hard-to-reach corners all feeds into the inspection. A cleaning log that includes deep cleans and grease trap visits shows the work is planned.

If you serve passing trade near Herne Bay station, a grease trap on a regular schedule keeps the drains running through busy weeks. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Martin or elsewhere in Eddington, a deep clean and an emptied grease trap before a busy season of events are worth booking. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Whitstable and Tankerton Hospital (about 3.2 miles west), cook for long hours, so deep cleans and grease trap work are planned around patients’ meals.
