Grease trap cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Pegwell
We clean grease traps for kitchens in Pegwell, whether it’s an under-sink unit or a larger inline trap. We come when the sinks are not needed, so the kitchen keeps running. The work covers restaurants and takeaways, inline grease traps and pot wash sinks, and common reasons people get in touch are an inline trap or interceptor due for cleaning and gurgling from the sink waste.
Work in a small place like Pegwell starts with agreeing a date and access.

Why it’s worth doing now in Pegwell
Grease that leaves the kitchen ends up somewhere. It can build up in the drains and join fatbergs in the sewer. A well-maintained trap keeps it where it can be removed. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Pegwell rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
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 any work starts.

Questions from Pegwell
Can a school kitchen in Pegwell be done out of term time?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. Around Pegwell, the Food Standards Agency lists about 15 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Will you come out to Pegwell?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Pegwell is covered. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
How much notice do you need?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
Will I get paperwork for my records?
Yes, always. The report is dated and includes photos, plus a certificate via the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal for TR19® Grease cleans. Keep it in your maintenance log.
How much time does a grease trap clean need?
Typically, 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 say so when we quote.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We carry full insurance and have been trading since 2009.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a single café to a large school. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, 24/7. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
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 are happy to quote for all of it.
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.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Honest limits
Before booking, it helps to know what’s not included:

Common problems we fix in Pegwell
Food waste slips past sink strainers or gets rinsed down. It settles in the trap as solids and fill it from below.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- An under-sink trap that keeps filling up
- A blocked kitchen drain caused by grease
- Foul odours from the grease trap
- A grease trap that hasn’t been emptied in a long time
Half-term is a good time for school kitchens, at schools like Chilton Primary School for instance, to have the grease trap emptied and the kitchen deep cleaned.
