Advice
Grease trap cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Kingsgate
If the sinks drain slowly or smell, the trap is often the cause. In Kingsgate, as everywhere we work, our team empties and cleans the trap, then check the water flows properly. Common call-outs are for gurgling from the sink waste and an interceptor full of grease and solids, on pot wash sinks, kitchen waste pipes and under-sink grease traps.
Work in a small place like Kingsgate starts with agreeing a date and access, and the deep clean is the same as anywhere: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

How the job changes from site to site
Restaurant and takeaway kitchens
Busy kitchens with lots of washing-up fill traps fast. A shorter cleaning interval usually suits them.
Baffles and outlets
The baffles hold back grease while water flows on. They gather grease and debris, so we clean them.
Common questions in Kingsgate
Can you work in Kingsgate outside opening hours?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. It means the site in Kingsgate keeps running as normal. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Do you work in school kitchens around Kingsgate out of term?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. The FSA’s register shows about 7 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Kingsgate. Send us your term dates when you call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we’ll fit the work in.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
It depends on the building. The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, facilities manager or managing agent.
What accreditations do you have?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We’re fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
What does a grease trap clean cost?
It depends on the type and size of the trap, its condition and access. Send us details or a photo and we will come back with a fixed price.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so sites at different addresses can be planned together as one programme. Each site gets its own report and photos.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. The law sets the duty, and TR19® is the recognised benchmark for meeting it. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person has to manage fire risk, and without records, many insurers may refuse or reduce a claim.
Do you cover Kingsgate?
Yes. We work in Kingsgate and across Kent, as part of our work across South East England and London. To book, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Why it’s worth doing now in Kingsgate
A dirty grease trap smells. Rotting food and grease give off foul odours and the smell carries. Cleaning it removes the cause. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you are unsure, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line for straight advice and a fixed quote.

What grease trap cleaning looks like in Kingsgate
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 12 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 6 takeaways within about 1.5 miles of central Kingsgate. A grease trap in kitchens like these fills steadily and needs emptying before it overflows. Food hygiene inspections in Kingsgate are the job of Thanet council’s environmental health team. They look at the cleanliness of the whole kitchen: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment. Photos and dates from each deep clean make a useful record.
A summer deep clean suits schools such as Callis Grange Nursery and Infant School, as the kitchen can be stripped back with no lunches to serve. If you run a care home or healthcare kitchen near Kingsgate (the nearest hospital is Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother Hospital, about 2.3 miles west), a grease trap on a set schedule avoids a blocked drain mid-service.

When to call us in Kingsgate
The more a kitchen cooks and washes up, the quicker the trap fills. A trap that suited a quieter kitchen can struggle when cooking increases.
The symptoms we are asked about most include:
- An inline trap or interceptor due for cleaning
- Sinks that drain slowly
- A kitchen drain that smells
- Scheduled grease trap emptying
Hall and church kitchens, near St Philip or anywhere around Kingsgate, are used by many hands, and periodic deep cleans and grease trap visits keep them in order.
Before booking anyone
- Proof of insurance
- Whether they recommend a next date
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
- What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed
What staff can safely do
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Kingsgate
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we will come back with a fixed quote.
