Grease trap cleaning in New Ash Green, done properly
Kitchens in New Ash Green use us for grease trap cleaning, from small under-sink units to inline traps and interceptors. Visits are booked around your service so washing up isn’t interrupted. The work covers inline grease traps, restaurants and takeaways and under-sink grease traps, and people most often call us about an under-sink unit that needs regular emptying and foul odours from the grease trap.
In rural areas, a kitchen may drain to a private system rather than a public sewer, so keeping fat out with a working grease trap matters even more.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

What happens on the day
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and it goes on the report too. All told, the work takes an hour or so for an under-sink trap, longer for a larger unit. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near New Ash Green, let us know and we’ll plan around it.
- First, we locate the grease trap and look at the pipework around it.
- Nothing drains into the trap while it’s open.
- We take out the layer of fat, oil and grease and any solids.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Clear loose items from the work area
How to get a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

When to call us in New Ash Green
Hot washing-up water keeps grease liquid for a while. When it cools, the grease hardens, often in the trap or the pipe beyond.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- Drains that gurgle and bubble
- A kitchen drain that smells
- Grease setting in the kitchen pipework
- A full, neglected grease trap
For schools such as New Ash Green Primary School, deep cleans and grease trap work are typically booked for the holidays.

If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will say what we think.
What the work covers
- Kitchen waste pipes
- Under-sink grease traps
- Pot wash sinks
- Inline grease traps
- School and care home kitchens
- Restaurants and takeaways
What staff can safely do
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Questions from New Ash Green
Can a school kitchen in New Ash Green be done out of term time?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. There are about 6 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of New Ash Green. Just call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with your term dates and we will plan around them.
Do you cover smaller places like New Ash Green?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, New Ash Green included. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
How long will the sinks be out of use?
As a guide, it takes a short visit for a small trap and longer for an inline unit or interceptor. Bigger or overdue traps need more time, and we’ll tell you in advance.
Do you clean under-sink and inline grease traps?
Under-sink and inline grease traps, and larger interceptors. They’re emptied, cleaned and checked in the same careful way.
What paperwork should we keep on file?
The reports and certificates from each visit, plus your own logs. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs may all ask to see them, so keep them where they can be found quickly.
What types of premises do you cover?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, as well as food production and leisure sites.
Where does the waste go?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. We don’t leave it behind.
What do you do to protect the area?
We start with protection: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
