What the work involves, part by part
Inline grease traps
An inline trap sits in the pipework between the kitchen and the drain. They’re larger than under-sink traps but still fill up.
Under-sink grease traps
Under-sink traps are cleaned in a short visit and check the seal on the lid.
Grease trap cleaning in Godmersham
Kitchens in Godmersham use us for grease trap cleaning, from small under-sink units to inline traps and interceptors. We come when the sinks aren’t needed, so the kitchen keeps running. We’re often asked to deal with a routine grease trap service and an inline trap or interceptor due for cleaning, across inline grease traps, kitchen waste pipes and under-sink grease traps.
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.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What else we do in Godmersham
What happens on the day
The first job on site is protection: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes an hour or so for an under-sink trap, longer for a larger unit, and we clear up before we go. A few pictures of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Godmersham.
- First, we find the trap and look at its connections.
- We make sure nothing drains into the trap.
- Grease and solids are removed from the trap.
- We clean every part of the inside.
- The trap is refitted, tested with water and the waste taken away.
How to prepare
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions

Advice
What happens if it’s left?
Some kitchens try to fix slow drains with hot water or drain cleaners. It just shifts the grease further along to set somewhere harder to reach. The lasting fix starts with the trap. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Godmersham is calmer for everyone.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.

Looking after it afterwards
So the system stays in good health:
- Book trap cleans at a set interval
- Fit sink strainers to catch food scraps
- Do not rely on hot water to clear grease
- Act on gurgling or smelly drains
Keep used oil out of the drains and the trap will not fill as quickly. It’s the single easiest way to help.
A trap that is left too long stops catching grease. Cleaning it before it’s full keeps grease out of the drains and saves a call-out for a blocked drain.
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’s our job.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
Common questions in Godmersham
Which environmental health team covers Godmersham?
In Godmersham, it’s Ashford council that carries out food hygiene inspections. An officer may look behind equipment and at drains, so it pays to have the deep clean booked before those areas build up.
Do you work overnight in Godmersham?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. That way a site in Godmersham does not have to lose a day’s trading. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site across London and the South East, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
How far ahead should we book?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
What’s TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked and expects a risk-based approach.
How do you protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. The work is kept contained and clean down when we finish.
Do you cover Godmersham?
Yes. Our technicians work in Godmersham, within the South East and London area we cover.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
The law calls them the responsible person. That’s generally the employer or the person in control of the premises, and where several people have control, each can have duties. Your lease and fire risk assessment should make it clear.
What grease trap cleaning cannot fix
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- A leaking sink waste or trap connection
- Drains that need jetting rather than trap cleaning
- A grease trap that’s too small for the kitchen
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Grease trap cleaning around Godmersham
