Grease trap cleaning around Nackington
Look up Nackington on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 10 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 3 sandwich bars and takeaways across Nackington and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Fat from washing up sets hard in pipes, and kitchens like these produce plenty of it. Food hygiene inspections in Nackington are the job of Canterbury City council’s environmental health team. Grease behind equipment or on a ceiling is the kind of thing an inspection can note. Photos and dates from each deep clean make a useful record.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Kent and Canterbury Hospital about 1.1 miles north, deep cleans and grease trap visits are planned so meals still go out. A summer deep clean suits schools such as Simon Langton Grammar School for Boys, as the kitchen can be stripped back with no lunches to serve.

Grease trap cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Nackington
Once a trap is full, grease passes straight through. Further down the pipe, the grease cools and hardens and the result is blocked drains and bad smells. A trap that is cleaned regularly keeps grease where it belongs. The work covers school and care home kitchens, inline grease traps and restaurants and takeaways, and common reasons people get in touch are gurgling drains in the kitchen and washing-up water that won’t drain away.
In a village or hamlet like Nackington, commercial kitchens are few, perhaps a pub, a school or a care home. Each still needs the occasional deep clean and its grease trap kept clear.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.

Nackington: your questions answered
Who inspects food businesses in Nackington?
The local authority for Nackington is Canterbury City council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. Inspection results feed into the food hygiene rating published by the Food Standards Agency.
Do you work in school kitchens around Nackington out of term?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. The FSA’s register shows about 8 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Nackington. Tell us your holiday dates and we will book the visit for when the site is empty.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured, and the details are available on request.
What’s TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked, and it takes a risk-based approach.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. One number covers all your sites in our area, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
How much notice should we give?
Book as early as you can for planned work, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
Where does the waste go?
It leaves the site with us at the end of the visit. While we work, it’s kept contained so the area stays clean.
Do you clean under-sink and inline grease traps?
We cover under-sink, inline and interceptor units. They’re emptied, cleaned and checked whatever the size.

When to call us in Nackington
For a kitchen in Nackington or anywhere else, the trap is out of sight and out of mind. Tucked away under the sink or below the floor it’s often left until there’s a problem.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- A regular cleaning plan for the grease trap
- A kitchen drain that smells
- Sinks that drain slowly
- An under-sink trap that keeps filling up
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Mary or elsewhere in Nackington, a deep clean and an emptied grease trap before a busy season of events are worth booking.
What to look for in a quote
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- Whether a survey comes first
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
Why act early in Nackington

No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.

Part by part
Grease interceptors
An interceptor works on the same principle as a smaller trap. Grease floats and solids sink.
Under-sink grease traps
Under-sink traps are compact units fitted below the kitchen sink. Their small size means they fill fast and need regular cleaning.
When it’s something else
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Broken pipework below ground
- Sewer problems outside the premises
- Grease set hard in the drain run
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
