Grease trap cleaning in Postling Green
Once a trap is full, grease passes straight through. Further down the pipe, the grease cools and hardens and the result is blocked drains and bad smells. Regular cleaning keeps it working. The work covers school and care home kitchens, under-sink grease traps and restaurants and takeaways, and common reasons people get in touch are washing-up water that won’t drain away and an overdue 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.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

What we are called out for in Postling Green
Oil tipped down the drain instead of being collected overloads the trap fast. Even small amounts add up.
Clients normally contact us after spotting something like this:
- A kitchen drain that smells
- A full, neglected grease trap
- Sinks that drain slowly
- A larger grease trap that needs emptying
If you look after a hall kitchen near Church of St Martin or anywhere in Postling Green, a deep clean between busy seasons is easier than a scramble before a big event.
Before you book anyone
- Proof of insurance
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or pictures
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- Whether the figure could change on the day
How it works
Your staff do not need to do much on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. Somewhere like Postling Green, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- First, we find the trap and look at its connections.
- We make sure nothing drains into the trap.
- We empty out the fat, oil, grease and solids.
- The chambers and baffles are cleaned.
- The trap is refitted, tested with water and the waste taken away.
How to prepare
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
How to get a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price, before any work starts.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Keep access to the trap clear
- Avoid pouring boiling water down to shift grease
- Keep waste oil out of the drains
- Let us know if the kitchen gets busier
Keep used oil out of the drains and the trap won’t fill as quickly. It’s the single easiest way to help.
More cooking means more grease in the trap. Booking cleans more often keeps the drains flowing.

What staff can safely do
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.

Yes. Postling Green is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Postling Green?
That is Ashford council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Postling Green. How often a business is inspected depends on the council’s risk rating for it, so the kitchen needs to be ready at any time.

Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and we’ll quote them together.

Under-sink units, inline traps and interceptors are all covered. Let us know what’s fitted and we will plan around it.
