What affects the cost of grease trap cleaning
The price is fixed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- The condition we find in the survey
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Parking and loading at the site
The cost depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.

What grease trap cleaning looks like in Kearsney
Food Standards Agency data counts about 6 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 6 takeaways within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Kearsney. Each of them sends fat, oil and grease towards the drain, which is why grease traps need regular emptying. Environmental health officers from Dover council inspect food businesses in Kearsney. The state of floors, drains and hard-to-reach corners all feeds into the inspection. Having the dates of the last deep clean to hand saves digging for them on the day.
If you run a care home or healthcare kitchen near Kearsney (the nearest hospital is Buckland Hospital, about 1.5 miles south-east), a grease trap on a set schedule avoids a blocked drain mid-service. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Peter and St Paul or elsewhere in Kearsney, a deep clean and an emptied grease trap before a busy season of events are worth booking.

Common questions in Kearsney
Can you get to a site in Kearsney?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Kearsney included. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Kearsney?
Kitchens in Kearsney are inspected by Dover council’s environmental health officers. 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 survey before quoting?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it, and the quote is based on that.
Which accreditations do you hold?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
Will you tell us when the next visit is due?
Yes. We put a recommended next date 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.
What do you do with what you remove?
It’s contained and taken away. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on, so it does not spread.
Do you clean under-sink and inline grease traps?
We clean all the common types. A photo helps us see what’s fitted and we will confirm.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so sites at different addresses can be planned together on one programme. Each site gets its own report and pictures.
What we do, step by step
We are used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. On site, the work takes an hour or so for an under-sink trap, longer for a larger unit. Tell us when your site near Kearsney is quiet and the visit will be booked for then.
- A visit is booked around your service.
- The trap is opened up and checked.
- We remove the grease layer and settled solids.
- We clean the baffles, inlet and outlet.
- The trap is closed, tested and the next clean discussed.
Preparing for the visit
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
Getting a quote
To help us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, pictures of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Advice
Between visits
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Make sure the trap can be reached easily
- Keep waste oil out of the drains
- Hot water only moves grease further down
- Fit sink strainers to catch food scraps
If we spot problems beyond the trap, such as a drain that still runs slowly, we will tell you. It may need a drainage specialist to look further.
Slow sinks and a bad smell are early warnings. Getting it cleaned now can stop a full blockage down the line.
How the job changes from site to site
Inline grease traps
Access to an inline trap can be in a floor or cupboard. We ask about access when we quote.
Grease interceptors
Interceptors take longer to clean and we allow for that.
