How we price grease trap cleaning
Your quote is based on your site. We take into account:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- How many systems or sites are involved
- The size of the system
- The times the site is available
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.
What we need to know
There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To start, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
About our grease trap cleaning in Gold Street
A neglected grease trap stops doing its job. Further down the pipe, the grease cools and hardens and the result is blocked drains and bad smells. Regular cleaning keeps it working. If you’re dealing with a blocked kitchen drain caused by grease and an interceptor full of grease and solids, we can put it right.
In a village or hamlet like Gold Street, commercial kitchens are few, perhaps a pub, a school or a care home. Each still needs the occasional deep clean and its grease trap kept clear.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Grease trap cleaning around Gold Street
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 8 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 5 sandwich bars and takeaways in and around Gold Street, up to about a mile and a half out. A grease trap in kitchens like these fills steadily and needs emptying before it overflows. In Gold Street, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Gravesham council. Grease behind equipment or on a ceiling is the kind of thing an inspection can note. Photos and dates from each deep clean make a useful record.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Cobham Primary School or anywhere near Gold Street, the holidays are the time for a deep clean or a grease trap clean. Gravesham Community Hospital, about 4 miles north, is the nearest hospital to Gold Street; healthcare kitchens cannot stop cooking, so deep cleans are worked around meal times. Where a church or community hall near St Mary's Room, or anywhere in Gold Street, has a kitchen used by volunteers, a periodic deep clean keeps it ready for the next event.

What the work involves, part by part
Inline grease traps
Access to an inline trap can be in a floor or cupboard. We ask about access when we quote.
Baffles and outlets
The outlet carries the separated water on to the drain. If it’s blocked or greasy, the trap backs up.
What we do, step by step
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Gold Street and turn up when the site is quiet.
- A visit is booked around your service.
- The trap is opened up and checked.
- Built-up grease and food waste are taken out.
- We clean the baffles, inlet and outlet.
- The trap is closed, tested and the next clean discussed.
How to prepare
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool

FAQs for Gold Street
Can a school kitchen in Gold Street be done out of term time?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. The FSA’s register shows about 4 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Gold Street. Tell us your holiday dates and we will book the visit for when the site is empty.
Can you get to a site in Gold Street?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
How regularly does a grease trap need emptying?
The right interval depends on your trap and your cooking. If the sinks start to drain slowly between cleans, it’s too long and we’ll adjust the schedule.
What about areas you can’t get to?
We never leave them off the paperwork. You’ll know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
Do you clean under-sink and inline grease traps?
Both under-sink and inline traps, plus interceptors. A photo helps us see what’s fitted and we’ll confirm.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, either from pictures and details you send or on a site visit. Then you get a fixed quote.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We carry full insurance and have been trading since 2009.
Will you tell us when the next visit is due?
Yes. The report recommends when the next visit should be, based on what we found and how the system is used.
What happens if it’s left?
A smelly, overflowing trap attracts pests. A clean trap is less of an attraction as part of a clean kitchen. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered and we will price it together.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Keep waste oil out of the drains
- Keep strainers in every sink
- Let us know if the kitchen gets busier
- Make sure the trap can be reached easily
Keep used oil out of the drains, and the trap will stay cleaner for longer. It’s the single easiest way to help.
A fixed cleaning interval means the trap never gets overfull. The interval is set to suit the trap and the kitchen.
Multi-site and managed buildings
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
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.
