How we handle grease trap cleaning in Pembury
Kitchens in Pembury use us for grease trap cleaning, whether it’s an under-sink unit or a larger inline trap. Visits are booked around your service, so the kitchen keeps running. The work covers inline grease traps, school and care home kitchens and pot wash sinks, and people most often call us about sinks that drain slowly and drains clogged with fat.
In a smaller place like Pembury, commercial kitchens are more likely to be a pub, a café, a takeaway or a school or care home kitchen. A smaller kitchen still builds up grease where everyday cleaning doesn’t reach.
We have been trading since 2009, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we are fully insured.

What affects the cost of grease trap cleaning
Sites vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The scale of the work
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Any permits to work or inductions
The cost depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.
Asking for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Send what you can of the following:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Any previous report or certificate
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your photos and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before we start.
What happens on the day
The visit has three parts: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, and the sign-off is a written report with photos. The middle part takes longest, and that takes an hour or two in most kitchens, depending on the size and condition of the trap. Tell us about any gates, ladders or locked plant areas at your site near Pembury when you book.
- First, we find the trap and look at its connections.
- Sinks feeding the trap are taken out of use.
- Grease and solids are removed from the trap.
- We clean every part of the inside.
- The trap is refitted, tested with water and the waste taken away.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Clear the space around the work

Pub and hotel kitchens get the same build-up behind equipment and in the grease trap as any other. It’s Tunbridge Wells council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Pembury. An inspection covers the structure of the kitchen as well as the food. Keeping a record of deep cleans and grease trap visits helps at inspection time.
For schools such as Pembury School, deep cleans and grease trap work are typically booked for the holidays. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Tunbridge Wells Hospital about 0.9 miles west, deep cleans and grease trap visits are planned so meals still go out.

Leave it or put it right?
Once the trap is full, grease heads for the drain. It hardens on the pipe walls until water cannot get through. Cleaning the trap regularly is far easier than clearing a blocked drain. Even a site near Pembury that is only busy part of the week needs its system checked on a schedule.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before we start.

Pembury: your questions answered
Do you work at weekends in Pembury?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The site is handed back ready to open. Just call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Will you come out to Pembury?
Yes. Pembury is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Who is the responsible person?
That depends on who controls the premises. The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, facilities manager or managing agent.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for anything that can’t wait until a planned visit. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not typically. We need the work area to ourselves while we’re on site, so we book a time when it would be closed anyway.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, to suit the system and how it’s used.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
Anything we can’t reach goes on the report, with pictures where possible, and we explain what access is needed, for example new access panels.
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.
Different parts, different methods
Grease interceptors
A larger unit takes more time to empty and clean and we allow for that.
School, care home and staff kitchens
Kitchens with fixed mealtimes build up grease more predictably. Planned cleaning fits their routine.
What we’re called out for in Pembury
In Pembury, as everywhere, grease traps are easy to forget. Tucked away under the sink or below the floor, it’s often ignored until something goes wrong.
What we’re most often called out for:
- A small trap that fills too quickly
- A kitchen drain that smells
- An interceptor full of grease and solids
- Grease setting in the kitchen pipework
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Upper Church of St Peter or elsewhere in Pembury, a deep clean and an emptied grease trap before a busy season of events are worth booking.

For landlords and multi-site operators
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
