Grease trap cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Felderland
A clean trap means flowing drains and no foul smells. The fat, oil, grease and solids are taken out and the chambers and baffles cleaned, and check the trap is working properly. We are often asked to deal with an inline trap or interceptor due for cleaning and foul odours from the grease trap, across school and care home kitchens, pot wash sinks and restaurants and takeaways.
Somewhere as small as Felderland, the kitchens that need a deep clean are typically a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still needs the occasional deep clean and its grease trap kept clear.
A written report with pictures follows every visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Felderland: your questions answered
Can you work in Felderland outside opening hours?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The work in Felderland can fit around your hours. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Will you come out to Felderland?
Yes. Felderland is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not typically. We need the work area to ourselves while we’re on site, so the visit goes in a quiet slot.
Why does a grease trap need regular cleaning?
An overfull trap stops separating grease. The result is slow drains, foul odours and eventually a blockage.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No. The law sets the duty; TR19® is the benchmark used to show it’s met. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person has to manage fire risk, and many insurers can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of cleaning.
What types of premises do you cover?
Commercial premises of every kind: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. Work is timed around how each site runs.
Can you give me a price for grease trap cleaning?
It depends on the type and size of the trap, its condition and access. Tell us about the trap and we’ll come back with a fixed price.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7, for problems that can’t wait. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
What the work involves, part by part
Grease interceptors
Bigger kitchens may have a larger grease interceptor. They hold more grease and solids, but they still need regular emptying and cleaning.
Restaurant and takeaway kitchens
A blocked drain in a busy kitchen can stop service. Regular trap cleaning helps prevent it.

What affects the cost of grease trap cleaning
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- The size of the system
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.
Helping us quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Any previous report or certificate
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
Felderland kitchens: local notes
Food Standards Agency records list about 15 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 3 takeaways in and around Felderland, 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. Kitchens in Felderland get their food hygiene inspections from Dover council. 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.
Half-term is a good time for school kitchens, at schools like Sandwich Technology School for instance, to have the grease trap emptied and the kitchen deep cleaned. Hall and church kitchens, near Church of St Peter and St Paul or anywhere around Felderland, are used by many hands, and periodic deep cleans and grease trap visits keep them in order. If you run event catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Goodnestone Park is about 4.7 miles west), a deep clean before or after the busy season is worth planning.

Leave it or put it right?
A full grease trap lets grease through to the drains. There it sets and narrows the pipe, until the drain blocks. Cleaning the trap regularly is far easier than clearing a blocked drain. Somewhere as small as Felderland, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
How it works
We’re 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 anything from under an hour to a few hours, depending on the trap. The timing of a visit to Felderland is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- We find the trap and check how it’s connected.
- We ask for the sinks that drain into the trap not to be used.
- We take out the layer of fat, oil and grease and any solids.
- Every part of the trap is scraped and cleaned, including the baffles.
- We put it back together, run water through and remove the waste.
How to prepare
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive

Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your pictures and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before any work starts.

When something else is needed
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Drains that are cracked or have collapsed
- Grease set hard in the drain run
- Blockages in the public sewer beyond the property
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll say what we think.
Parts of the system we cover
- Kitchen waste pipes
- School and care home kitchens
- Pot wash sinks
- Inline grease traps
- Under-sink grease traps
- Restaurants and takeaways
Looking after it afterwards
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Avoid pouring boiling water down to shift grease
- Do not store things on top of the trap
- Collect waste cooking oil separately
- Wipe grease off pans before washing them
We take the grease and solids away. Nothing is left for you to dispose of after the visit.
An overfull trap lets grease pass. Cleaning it before it’s full keeps grease out of the drains and avoids a blockage.
