For landlords and multi-site operators
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Grafty Green and across Kent. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so records stay tidy.
About our grease trap cleaning in Grafty Green
A clean trap means flowing drains and no foul smells. We empty the built-up grease and food solids and the chambers and baffles cleaned, and check the trap is working properly. Typical jobs include gurgling from the sink waste and a slow-draining kitchen sink, on inline grease traps, kitchen waste pipes and pot wash sinks.
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.
We have been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.

What affects the quote in Grafty Green
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Parking and loading at the site
You won’t find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll explain what it covers.
What to send for a quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price, before we start.
What we’re called out for in Grafty Green
The more a kitchen cooks and washes up, the quicker the trap fills. A trap that suited a quieter kitchen can fill very quickly when trade picks up.
These are the problems we see most often:
- A small trap that fills too quickly
- An interceptor full of grease and solids
- Gurgling drains in the kitchen
- A kitchen drain that smells
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Platts Heath Primary School or anywhere near Grafty Green, the holidays are the time for a deep clean or a grease trap clean.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether VAT is included
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or photos
How the job changes from site to site
Under-sink grease traps

FAQs for Grafty Green
Can you come to Grafty Green after we close?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. That way a site in Grafty Green doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Can you get to a site in Grafty Green?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
How far ahead should we book?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
Are you insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work and have been trading since 2009.
Do you recommend a next date?
Yes. The recommended date is on the report. BESA’s minimum intervals for kitchen extracts range from 3-monthly for heavy use to 12-monthly for light use, and fire dampers need testing at least once a year.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
It depends on the building. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person, which can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, an FM or a managing agent.
Do you take the waste away?
It’s removed from site when we leave. Your staff don’t have to handle it after we’ve finished.
Keeping the system healthy
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Tell us when sinks start draining slowly
- Wipe grease off pans before washing them
- Tell us if your menu or hours change
- Do not wait for a blockage to book a clean
You will get our view on how often the trap needs cleaning. That depends on how quickly it filled and how busy the kitchen is.
Setting regular cleans takes the guesswork out. The interval is set to suit the trap and the kitchen.
