For landlords and multi-site operators
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Grease trap cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Moorstock
Smells from the sink, gurgling drains or slow drainage all point to the grease trap. In Moorstock, as everywhere we work, our team empties and cleans the trap, then check the water flows properly. If you have gurgling drains in the kitchen and an interceptor full of grease and solids, we can help, from kitchen waste pipes, pot wash sinks and restaurants and takeaways onwards.
Somewhere as small as Moorstock, 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. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

Between visits
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Scrape plates and pans into the bin before washing up
- Collect waste cooking oil separately
- Fit sink strainers to catch food scraps
- Do not wait for a blockage to book a clean
Keep used oil out of the drains and the trap won’t fill as quickly. It’s the single easiest way to help.
Grease that gets past the trap sets in the drains. Clearing it then is a bigger job so prevention is the easier route.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
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’s where we come in.
What the work involves, part by part
Baffles and outlets
Every clean includes the baffles, inlet and outlet so water flows freely.
Grease interceptors
A larger unit takes more time to empty and clean and we plan the visit accordingly.
How we price grease trap cleaning
The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- The size of the system
- How easy every part is to reach
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before we start.
Asking for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before we start.
What grease trap cleaning looks like in Moorstock
Food Standards Agency records include about 5 pubs and bars in and around Moorstock, 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. At about 55 miles from central London, Moorstock sits well inside the area we cover. Evening, overnight and weekend visits are all possible. Food hygiene inspections in Moorstock are the job of Folkestone and Hythe council’s environmental health team. 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.
Healthcare kitchens cook through the year, so a deep clean has to be fitted around meals; William Harvey Hospital, about 4.5 miles north-west, is the nearest hospital to Moorstock. If you cater for weddings or events at a historic house in the area (Westenhanger Castle is about 1.6 miles south-east), deep cleans can be fitted between bookings. Where a church or community hall near Church of St Mary, or anywhere in Moorstock, has a kitchen used by volunteers, a periodic deep clean keeps it ready for the next event.
