Grease trap cleaning in Frogham, Kent

- A grease trap that hasn’t been emptied in a long time
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
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.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
About our grease trap cleaning in Frogham
Grease traps sit between the sinks and the drain, holding back fats, oils and grease. Cooling water lets the grease rise and separate while the water carries on to the drain. Eventually it fills and has to be emptied and cleaned. The work covers school and care home kitchens, under-sink grease traps and restaurants and takeaways, and people most often call us about a small trap that fills too quickly and scheduled grease trap emptying.
For a kitchen in or near Frogham, 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.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with pictures after each visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Frogham kitchens: local notes
Look up Frogham on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 3 restaurants, cafés and works canteens in Frogham and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Kitchens like these wash fat, oil and grease down the sink every day, and a grease trap is what stops it reaching the sewer. Environmental health officers from Dover council inspect food businesses in Frogham. An inspection covers the structure of the kitchen as well as the food. A record of each deep clean helps show the kitchen is kept in order.
School kitchens, at schools like Nonington Church of England Primary School for example, normally have their deep cleans and grease trap work done while the canteen is closed. If you look after a hall kitchen near Church of St Nicholas or anywhere in Frogham, a deep clean between busy seasons is easier than a scramble before a big event.

Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A regular cleaning plan for the grease trap
- Grease setting in the kitchen pipework
- Washing-up water that won’t drain away
- Gurgling from the sink waste

- The condition we find in the survey
- How many systems or sites are involved
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 the price is fixed before work begins.
What we need to know
There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- The postcode and the type of business
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
We don’t publish a price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To start, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.

Baffles and outlets
Baffles inside the trap slow the water so grease can separate. They gather grease and debris, so we clean them.
Grease interceptors
Interceptors take longer to clean and we plan the visit accordingly.
Your questions about grease trap cleaning in Frogham
Can you come to Frogham after we close?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Frogham needn’t be disturbed. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Is Frogham within the area you cover?
Yes, Frogham is part of our area, however small the site. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
What do you do with what you remove?
It’s contained and taken away. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on rather than letting it spread.
How much notice do you need?
For planned work, earlier is better, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
That depends on who controls the premises. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, facilities manager or managing agent.
Will cleaning the grease trap fix a blocked drain?
We clean the trap, not the drain network. Where the problem is further down the drain, we’ll say so and suggest a drainage contractor.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a single café to a large school. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
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 happens on the day
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s 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 job takes a short visit for a small trap and longer for an inline unit or interceptor. For a village or hamlet like Frogham, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- First, we locate the grease trap and look at the pipework around it.
- Nothing drains into the trap while it’s open.
- Built-up fat, oil and grease is removed from the trap.
- Every part of the trap is scraped and cleaned, including the baffles.
- We put it back together, run water through and remove the waste.
