Grease trap cleaning in Heaverham, done properly
We clean grease traps for kitchens in Heaverham, whether it’s an under-sink unit or a larger inline trap. Visits are booked around your service so washing up is not interrupted. The work covers inline grease traps, under-sink grease traps and school and care home kitchens, and common reasons people get in touch are a blocked kitchen drain caused by grease and a larger grease trap that needs emptying.
For a kitchen in or near Heaverham, the visit is planned ahead, around opening times and the journey.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with pictures, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

What grease trap cleaning looks like in Heaverham
Heaverham, about 20 miles from central London, is within our usual area. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours. Kitchens in Heaverham get their food hygiene inspections from Sevenoaks council. An inspection covers the structure of the kitchen as well as the food. Keeping a record of deep cleans and grease trap visits helps at inspection time.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Sevenoaks Hospital (about 2.7 miles south-west), cook for long hours, so deep cleans and grease trap work are planned around patients’ meals. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Kemsing Primary School or anywhere near Heaverham, the holidays are the time for a deep clean or a grease trap clean.

Common problems we fix in Heaverham
Hot water and detergent carry grease further than you’d expect. When it cools, the grease hardens in the pipework or the drain.
Most sites get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Drains clogged with fat
- A bad smell from the sinks or drains
- An under-sink unit that needs regular emptying
- Scheduled grease trap emptying
If you serve passing trade near Kemsing station, a grease trap on a regular schedule keeps the drains running through busy weeks.
Before booking anyone
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Whether a written report and pictures are included
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- Whether a survey comes first
How it works
Each visit runs to the same pattern: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, do the work, clear away and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself takes less than an hour for many under-sink units. Seeing the system in photos first means the trip to Heaverham can be planned properly.
- 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.
- We close it up, check it drains and suggest when it needs cleaning again.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
How to get a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before any work starts.

Looking after it afterwards
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Tell us when sinks start draining slowly
- Mention any increase in cooking
- Scrape plates and pans into the bin before washing up
- Keep strainers in every sink
The waste we remove leaves with us. 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.
Different parts, different methods
Inline grease traps
An inline trap sits in the pipework between the kitchen and the drain. They hold more than under-sink units but still fill up.
Grease interceptors
Interceptors separate grease the same way, on a larger scale. Grease floats and solids sink.
How we price grease trap cleaning
We do not publish a price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- The condition of the system
- The scale of the work
- Whether several sites go on one quote
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.
Asking for a quote
Many jobs can be priced from photos and some basics. Send what you can of the following:
- A few general shots of the system
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We normally come back within one working day.
Multi-site and managed buildings
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Heaverham and across Kent. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
Questions from Heaverham
Which environmental health team covers Heaverham?
Kitchens in Heaverham are inspected by Sevenoaks council’s environmental health officers. Photos from a deep clean are a simple record of what was done and when.
Do you cover smaller places like Heaverham?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Heaverham included. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need and the fixed quote is built on it.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and we can share the details when you need them.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, and the emergency line covers the rest.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site in our area, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
What’s the right interval for grease trap cleaning?
That depends on the trap and the kitchen. A small trap fills more quickly than a large one, and busy kitchens fill them faster still. We will suggest an interval after the first clean.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
Protection goes down first: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
What grease trap cleaning cannot fix
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- Blockages further down the drainage network
- Collapsed or damaged drains, which need a drainage contractor
- A grease trap that is too small for the kitchen
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
