Grease trap cleaning in Kenardington
We clean grease traps for kitchens in Kenardington, from small under-sink units to inline traps and interceptors. We come when the sinks aren’t needed so washing up is not interrupted. We are often asked to deal with foul odours from the grease trap and an inline trap or interceptor due for cleaning, across pot wash sinks, school and care home kitchens and under-sink grease traps.
Somewhere as small as Kenardington, the kitchens that need a deep clean are typically a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still needs the occasional deep clean and its grease trap kept clear.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

What happens if it’s left?
Grease that leaves the kitchen ends up somewhere. It adds to blockages further down the drains and sewer. Keeping it in the trap, and emptying the trap, is the responsible thing to do. Planning a trip to Kenardington ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
What you pay depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.

Kenardington: your questions answered
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Kenardington?
Kitchens in Kenardington are inspected by Ashford council’s environmental health officers. Keep the dates of your last deep clean and grease trap visit with your food safety records, ready if an officer asks.
Can you come to Kenardington after we close?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. Your customers, staff or residents in Kenardington needn’t be disturbed. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Are you insured?
Yes. We carry full insurance, and we have been trading since 2009.
What’s TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked and expects a risk-based approach.
What do you do with the waste?
The fat, oil, grease and solids we remove go with us. It is not poured back down the drain, of course.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
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.
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, while fire dampers are tested at least annually.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, to suit the system and how it’s used.

Fixed quotes for grease trap cleaning in Kenardington
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- The size of the system
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- The condition we find in the survey
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you will get one fixed quote.
Asking for a quote
You do not need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Any previous report or certificate
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
When it’s something else
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- Plumbing leaks around the sink
- Collapsed or damaged drains, which need a drainage contractor
- Drains that need jetting rather than trap cleaning
If you’re not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
What the work covers
- Pot wash sinks
- Inline grease traps
- School and care home kitchens
- Restaurants and takeaways
- Kitchen waste pipes
- Under-sink grease traps
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Keeping the system healthy
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Avoid pouring boiling water down to shift grease
- Keep the grease trap on a regular cleaning schedule
- Keep strainers in every sink
- Get food waste into the bin, not the sink
Collect waste cooking oil separately rather than pouring it down the sink and the trap will not fill as quickly. It’s the single easiest way to help.
Grease that gets past the trap sets in the drains. Once it’s there, it needs a drainage contractor to clear, so it’s far better to keep the trap clean.
What we do, step by step
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your pictures. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, the work takes anything from under an hour to a few hours, depending on the trap. Somewhere like Kenardington, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- We agree a time when the sinks are not needed.
- The trap is opened up and checked.
- We remove the grease layer and settled solids.
- We clean the baffles, inlet and outlet.
- We close it up, check it drains and suggest when it needs cleaning again.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Move anything stored near the system
