Grease trap cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Moor Street
We clean grease traps for kitchens in Moor Street, whether it’s an under-sink unit or a larger inline trap. Visits are booked around your service, so the kitchen keeps running. The work covers school and care home kitchens, pot wash sinks and inline grease traps, and the jobs we see most are an overdue grease trap and an interceptor full of grease and solids.
Somewhere as small as Moor Street, the kitchens that need a deep clean are usually a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Wherever there is one, it needs its grease trap and hard-to-reach areas kept clean.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

What affects the cost of grease trap cleaning
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- What state the system is in
- The size of the system
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you will get one fixed quote.
Helping us quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. Try to include:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- The site address and the type of premises
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
To get a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. We normally come back within one working day.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
How the job changes from site to site
Under-sink grease traps
An under-sink trap is out of sight. When they fill, the sink slows and starts to smell.
School, care home and staff kitchens
School kitchens can be cleaned in the holidays or after lunch service.

Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, 24/7. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
How it works
Night work is normal for us. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so the site can open as normal afterwards. The visit itself takes a short visit for a small trap and longer for an inline unit or interceptor. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Moor Street.
- First, we find the trap and look at its connections.
- Sinks feeding the trap are taken out of use.
- Grease and solids are removed from the trap.
- We clean every part of the inside.
- The trap is refitted, tested with water and the waste taken away.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Find the previous report, if there is one
Getting a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: 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.
Advice
Grease trap cleaning in Moor Street: local notes
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 14 pubs, bars and clubs in and around Moor Street, up to about a mile and a half out. Wherever food is prepared there, a periodic deep clean and a clear grease trap keep things in order. In Moor Street, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Swale council. The state of floors, drains and hard-to-reach corners all feeds into the inspection. Keeping a record of deep cleans and grease trap visits helps at inspection time.
Half-term is a good time for school kitchens, at schools like Leigh Academy Rainham for instance, to have the grease trap emptied and the kitchen deep cleaned. If you run a care home or healthcare kitchen near Moor Street (the nearest hospital is Medway Maritime Hospital, about 4 miles west), 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 Margaret or elsewhere in Moor Street, a deep clean and an emptied grease trap before a busy season of events are worth booking.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Let us know if the kitchen gets busier
- Don’t rely on hot water to clear grease
- Act on gurgling or smelly drains
- Make sure the trap can be reached easily
The sinks are ready to use as soon as we’ve finished. Water is run through to check everything flows before we leave.
Setting regular cleans takes the guesswork out. The interval is set to suit the trap and the kitchen.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Moor Street
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Honest limits
We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what grease trap cleaning won’t do:
- Broken pipework below ground
- Drains that need jetting rather than trap cleaning
- Leaking pipework or sink wastes, which need a plumber
If you are not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.
