What affects the cost of grease trap cleaning
There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- The times the site is available
- The condition of the system
- A single visit or a regular plan
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before any work starts.
Asking for a quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Problems your staff have spotted

Grease trap cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Lamberhurst
Grease trap cleaning keeps the drains running and the smells away. We empty the built-up grease and food solids, clean the inside and the baffles, and check the trap is working properly. The work covers school and care home kitchens, under-sink grease traps and pot wash sinks, and the jobs we see most are a blocked kitchen drain caused by grease and washing-up water that won’t drain away.
Somewhere as small as Lamberhurst, the kitchens that need a deep clean are usually 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.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The work in Lamberhurst can fit around your hours. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we will book within them.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
The report shows them clearly. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, and we can fit those.
Who is the responsible person?
It depends on the building. The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty on the responsible person, which can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, an FM or a managing agent.
What do you do with the waste?
We take it away. Your staff don’t have to handle it once the clean is done.

With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. We keep the work contained and leave the area clean.
Are you insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we’ve been trading since 2009.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, depending on what the system needs.

There’s very little for your team to do on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Lamberhurst run smoothly.
- We find the trap and check how it’s connected.
- Nothing drains into the trap while it’s open.
- Built-up fat, oil and grease is removed from the trap.
- We clean the chambers, baffles and connections.
- Once it’s refitted, water is run through to check it drains, and we take the waste with us.
Preparing for the visit

Aftercare tips
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Keep waste oil out of the drains
- Book trap cleans at a set interval
- Wipe grease off pans before washing them
- Let us know if the kitchen gets busier
If we spot problems beyond the trap, such as a drain that still runs slowly, we will tell you. That may need a drainage contractor to look further.
If the sinks are slow or smelly, the trap may be full. Acting at this stage usually prevents a blockage later.
When to call us in Lamberhurst
The more a kitchen cooks and washes up, the quicker the trap fills. Traps sized for lighter use can struggle when cooking increases.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Gurgling from the sink waste
- A small trap that fills too quickly
- A larger grease trap that needs emptying
- Drains clogged with fat
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Ticehurst House Hospital about 3.5 miles south, deep cleans and grease trap visits are planned so meals still go out.

How the job changes from site to site
Baffles and outlets
The outlet carries the separated water on to the drain. If it’s blocked or greasy, the trap backs up.
Inline grease traps
An inline trap sits in the pipework between the kitchen and the drain. They’re larger than under-sink traps but still need regular emptying.
