Grease trap cleaning in Hoo St Werburgh, done properly
No two traps are quite the same. Under-sink units are small and fill quickly and larger traps hold more grease before they fill. We assess the trap and how fast it fills and suggest an interval that suits. If you are dealing with an inline trap or interceptor due for cleaning and an under-sink unit that needs regular emptying, we can help, from under-sink grease traps, school and care home kitchens and pot wash sinks onwards.
Work in a smaller place like Hoo St Werburgh is planned around your opening hours.
Every visit ends with a written report and photos, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What grease trap cleaning cannot fix
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- Drains that are cracked or have collapsed
- A grease trap that’s too small for the kitchen
- Drains that need jetting rather than trap cleaning
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Hoo St Werburgh
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with photos.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
How the visit works
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is 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 less than an hour for many under-sink units. We plan the journey to Hoo St Werburgh and bring what the job is likely to need.
- First, we find the trap and look at its connections.
- We make sure nothing drains into the trap.
- We empty out the fat, oil, grease and solids.
- We clean every part of the inside.
- The trap is refitted, tested with water and the waste taken away.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
Get a fixed quote
To get a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. You’ll normally have a quote within one working day.
Advice
Leave it or put it right?
A full grease trap lets grease through to the drains. There it sets and narrows the pipe until water can’t get through. Regular trap cleaning beats dealing with a blockage. Booking now means the visit to Hoo St Werburgh is planned around you, not forced by a breakdown.
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before we start.

Questions from Hoo St Werburgh
Who inspects food businesses in Hoo St Werburgh?
Kitchens in Hoo St Werburgh are inspected by Medway council’s environmental health officers. Inspection results feed into the food hygiene rating published by the Food Standards Agency.

Which sectors do you work in?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a small pub to a hospital. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
Which grease traps does the service cover?
Under-sink and inline grease traps, and larger interceptors. Each one is emptied, cleaned and checked in the same careful way.
Which records should we keep?
Everything that shows the system is looked after: reports, certificates, photos and your own cleaning or check logs. A single log for each site works best.
Does the report say when we need you again?

Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for anything that can’t wait until a planned visit. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
How regularly does a grease trap need emptying?
It depends on the size of the trap and how busy the kitchen is. Small under-sink units fill faster than larger traps, and busy kitchens fill them faster still. We will recommend a schedule once we have seen it.
