How we handle grease trap cleaning in Lower Twydall
In Lower Twydall, we time grease trap visits so the sinks aren’t needed. We empty, clean and check the trap and remove the waste. It can be booked on its own or alongside other kitchen work. Typical jobs include a kitchen drain that smells and an overdue grease trap, on under-sink grease traps, inline grease traps and pot wash sinks.
In rural areas, a kitchen may drain to a private system rather than a public sewer, and fat getting past a grease trap can cause real trouble there.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

Lower Twydall questions
Which environmental health team covers Lower Twydall?
That is Medway council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Lower Twydall. Inspection results feed into the food hygiene rating published by the Food Standards Agency.
Can you work in Lower Twydall outside opening hours?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The site is handed back ready to open. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Can you clear our blocked drains as well?
Cleaning the trap deals with the grease it holds, and can clear the problem where the trap was the cause. A blockage deeper in the drains needs a drainage specialist.
How much does grease trap cleaning cost?
It depends on the type and size of the trap, its condition and access. Tell us about the trap and we’ll come back with a fixed price.
What should go in our maintenance log?
Visit reports, certificates and your in-house cleaning logs. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs may all ask to see them, so keep them where they can be found quickly.
Does the report say when we need you again?
Yes. The interval depends on how much the system is used and what we find and the report sets out why.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. One number covers all your sites across London and the South East, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
Do we need to close while you work?
Usually not. Booking the work out of hours means the site can carry on as normal. Larger jobs can be phased over several visits to keep things running.
The process
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. A few photos of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Lower Twydall.
- We locate the trap and check how it’s fitted.
- Sinks feeding the trap are taken out of use.
- Grease and solids are removed from the trap.
- The chambers and baffles are cleaned.
- The trap is refitted, tested with water and the waste taken away.
Before we arrive
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet

What grease trap cleaning looks like in Lower Twydall
Food Standards Agency records list about 15 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 14 sandwich bars and takeaways across Lower Twydall and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Kitchens like these wash fat, oil and grease down the sink every day, and a grease trap is what stops it reaching the sewer. In Lower Twydall, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Medway council. Walls, floors, ceilings and equipment are all part of what they look at. Having the dates of the last deep clean to hand saves digging for them on the day.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Featherby Infant and Nursery School or anywhere near Lower Twydall, the holidays are the time for a deep clean or a grease trap clean. If you look after a hall kitchen near Holy Trinity Church or anywhere in Lower Twydall, a deep clean between busy seasons is easier than a scramble before a big event.

What staff can safely do
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.
What the work involves, part by part
Inline grease traps
Inline traps are fitted into the drain line. They hold more than under-sink units but still need regular emptying.
Under-sink grease traps
An under-sink trap is out of sight. When they fill, the sink slows and starts to smell.
Between visits
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Book trap cleans at a set interval
- Keep waste oil out of the drains
- Keep strainers in every sink
- Do not store things on top of the trap
Between cleans, keep food scraps out of the sink. Sink strainers help catch solids before they reach the trap.
An overfull trap lets grease pass. Cleaning it before it’s full keeps grease out of the drains and saves a call-out for a blocked drain.
What we are called out for in Lower Twydall
Oil tipped down the drain instead of being collected overloads the trap fast. Even small amounts add up.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Gurgling drains in the kitchen
- Scheduled grease trap emptying
- Grease setting in the kitchen pipework
- An overdue grease trap
If you cater for weddings or events at a historic house in the area (Restoration House is about 3.7 miles west), deep cleans can be fitted between bookings.
