FAQs for New Romney
Do you work overnight in New Romney?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The work in New Romney can fit around your hours. Just call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Will you come out to New Romney?
Yes. New Romney is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
What does a grease trap clean cost?
The price depends on the trap and the schedule. Just call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll quote before any work starts.
How often should a grease trap be cleaned?
It varies with the trap and the kitchen. If the sinks start to drain slowly between cleans, it’s too long, and we can shorten it.
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.
Who is the responsible person?
It depends on the building. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, facilities manager or managing agent.
Do you deal with blocked drains beyond the grease trap?
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.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, plus food production and leisure sites.
Grease trap cleaning in New Romney
In New Romney, 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. If you are dealing with scheduled grease trap emptying and gurgling drains in the kitchen, we can help.
For a kitchen near New Romney, deep cleans are booked around opening hours, often on a closed day, and the journey is planned ahead.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

What else we do in New Romney
What the work involves, part by part
Under-sink grease traps
Small grease traps sit under the sink. Their small size means they fill fast and need regular cleaning.
School, care home and staff kitchens
Kitchens that serve set mealtimes fill their traps more steadily. A regular interval suits them well.
What affects the quote in New Romney
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Travel, parking and unloading
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- How easy every part is to reach
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re not sure what’s needed, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form for straight advice and a fixed quote.
Helping us quote
To help us quote quickly, send us:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- The site address and the type of premises
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
If you need grease trap cleaning in New Romney, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos. Tell us what kind of premises it is and when it’s open, plus photos or the previous report if they’re to hand. A fixed quote normally follows within one working day.
What we do, step by step
Everything the job needs comes with us, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. On site, the work takes an hour or so for an under-sink trap, longer for a larger unit. Around New Romney, access is usually simpler than in a town centre, though gates and roof access are worth mentioning.
- We agree a time when the sinks aren’t needed.
- The trap is opened up and checked.
- We remove the grease layer and settled solids.
- We clean the baffles, inlet and outlet.
- We close it up, check it drains and suggest when it needs cleaning again.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site

Why deal with it now?
A full grease trap lets grease through to the drains. It hardens on the pipe walls, until the drain blocks. Cleaning the trap regularly is far easier than clearing a blocked drain. It’s easy to lose track of when the work was last done on a quieter site.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before any work starts.
Why book with us
- CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001
- A BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease
- We’re fully insured

New Romney kitchens: local notes
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 7 pubs and bars within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of New Romney. Wherever they cook, the kitchen and its drains need the same attention as a restaurant’s. Kitchens in New Romney get their food hygiene inspections from Folkestone and Hythe council. Grease behind equipment or on a ceiling is the kind of thing an inspection can note. A record of each deep clean helps show the kitchen is kept in order.
Hall and church kitchens, near Church of St Nicholas or anywhere around New Romney, are used by many hands, and periodic deep cleans and grease trap visits keep them in order. Half-term is a good time for school kitchens, at schools like St Nicholas Church of England Primary Academy for instance, to have the grease trap emptied and the kitchen deep cleaned.

When something else is needed
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Plumbing leaks around the sink
- Grease set hard in the drain run
- Collapsed or damaged drains, which need a drainage contractor

Aftercare tips
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Never pour used oil down the sink
- Report slow or smelly sinks early
- Scrape plates and pans into the bin before washing up
- Do not store things on top of the trap
Scrape plates into the bin before washing up. Use strainers in the sink plugholes before they reach the trap.
Grease that gets past the trap sets in the drains. Once it’s there, it needs a drainage contractor to clear, so it’s far better to keep the trap clean.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.
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 will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
