About our grease trap cleaning in Nonington
Smells from the sink, gurgling drains or slow drainage all point to the grease trap. In Nonington, as everywhere we work, our team empties and cleans the trap and run water through to check it drains. If you are dealing with washing-up water that won’t drain away and an overdue grease trap, we can help, from inline grease traps, restaurants and takeaways and kitchen waste pipes onwards.
Rural kitchens may drain to a septic tank or a private drain rather than straight into a public sewer, so keeping fat out with a working grease trap matters even more.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with photos, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Between visits
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Collect waste cooking oil separately
- Keep access to the trap clear
- Mention any increase in cooking
- Keep strainers in every sink
Keep used oil out of the drains and the trap will not fill as quickly. It’s the single easiest way to help.
A trap that is left too long stops catching grease. Cleaning it before it’s full keeps grease out of the drains and saves a call-out for a blocked drain.
What grease trap cleaning looks like in Nonington
There are about 5 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 5 takeaways and sandwich shops in Nonington and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. A grease trap in kitchens like these fills steadily and needs emptying before it overflows. Nonington, about 60 miles from central London, is within our usual area. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site. In Nonington, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Dover council. The state of floors, drains and hard-to-reach corners all feeds into the inspection. A cleaning log that includes deep cleans and grease trap visits shows the work is planned.
School kitchens, at schools like Nonington Church of England Primary School for example, usually have their deep cleans and grease trap work done while the canteen is closed. Hall and church kitchens, near Church of St Mary or anywhere around Nonington, are used by many hands, and periodic deep cleans and grease trap visits keep them in order.

Multi-site and managed buildings
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. 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.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
How the job changes from site to site
Baffles and outlets
Clean water leaves through the outlet. A blocked outlet stops the trap working.
Restaurant and takeaway kitchens
Busy kitchens with lots of washing-up fill traps fast. A shorter cleaning interval typically suits them.
FAQs for Nonington
Do you work in school kitchens around Nonington out of term?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. With about 3 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Nonington, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your term dates and we will plan around them.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Nonington?
In Nonington, it’s Dover council that carries out food hygiene inspections. An officer may look behind equipment and at drains, so it pays to have the deep clean booked before those areas build up.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and we can share the details when you need them.
Can you give me a price for grease trap cleaning?
The price depends on the trap and the schedule. Just ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll quote before any work starts.
Will you tell us when the next visit is due?
Yes. Every report includes a recommended date for the next visit, based on what we found and how the system is used.
How much time does a grease trap clean need?
A typical clean takes a short visit for a small trap and longer for an inline unit or interceptor including checking it drains. We plan the visit around your service.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, depending on what the system needs.
Do you provide a certificate or report?
Yes. Each visit ends with a written report and pictures, covering the work, any areas we couldn’t access and the recommended next date. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, there’s also a certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Do you need grease trap cleaning in Nonington?
The more a kitchen cooks and washes up, the quicker the trap fills. A trap that suited a quieter kitchen can struggle when cooking increases.
What we are most often called out for:
- An overdue grease trap
- A slow-draining kitchen sink
- Drains clogged with fat
- Foul odours from the grease trap
If you run a kitchen in an older building near Nonington, such as a historic house like Goodnestone Park (about 1.4 miles north), older drains make a working grease trap all the more important.
What your quote should include
- If they look at the system before pricing
- Whether they’re fully insured

- Whether the quote shows VAT
What affects the cost of grease trap cleaning
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- The condition we find in the survey
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- The scale of the work
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
You will not find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll explain what it covers.
Helping us quote
A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: 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.
