Grease trap cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Priestwood Green
Fats, oils and grease are the main cause of blocked kitchen drains. Down the line, they can add to fatbergs in the sewer. A grease trap that is emptied and cleaned regularly holds them back. Common call-outs are for washing-up water that won’t drain away and a routine grease trap service, on inline grease traps, kitchen waste pipes and under-sink grease traps.
Rural kitchens may drain to a septic tank or a private drain rather than straight into a public sewer, and fat getting past a grease trap can cause real trouble there.
We have been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.

Between visits
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Act on gurgling or smelly drains
- Wipe grease off pans before washing them
- Collect waste cooking oil separately
- Fit sink strainers to catch food scraps
Once the trap is cleaned and refitted, the sinks can be used right away. We run water through to check it drains before we go.
Grease that gets past the trap sets in the drains. Once it’s there, it needs a drainage contractor to clear so prevention is the easier route.
Multi-site and managed buildings
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. 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.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Kent. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
Leave it or put it right?
Wherever the kitchen is in Priestwood Green, backed-up drains stop it working. Water won’t drain away, and dirty water can back up. Keeping the trap clean reduces the risk. A planned visit to Priestwood Green is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
What you pay depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.

What affects the quote in Priestwood Green
There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- How big the system is
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Site rules, permits and inductions
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. You’ll have a fixed price before any work starts.
What to send for a quote
You do not need the technical terms. Just send:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Call or email with a few details and you will normally have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
Priestwood Green questions
Do you cover smaller places like Priestwood Green?
Yes. Priestwood Green 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.
Do you clean school kitchens in Priestwood Green in the summer holidays?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. The FSA’s register shows about 2 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Priestwood Green. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, from your pictures and details, or with a visit where necessary. A fixed quote follows.
Can you clear our blocked drains as well?
It depends where the blockage is. If the trap is full, cleaning it often helps but grease set further down the drains needs jetting by a drainage specialist.
How do you protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before work begins, and waste is contained as we go. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
How often should a grease trap be cleaned?
It depends on the size of the trap and how busy the kitchen is. Small under-sink units fill faster than larger traps and the busier the kitchen, the faster it fills. We will suggest an interval after the first clean.
What is TR19?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
Do you take the waste away?
We remove all the waste we take out. None of it goes back into the drains at any point.
Grease trap cleaning in Priestwood Green: local notes
Food Standards Agency records include about 7 pubs, bars and clubs across Priestwood Green and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Where they run a kitchen, it needs the same deep cleaning and grease trap care as any restaurant. Food hygiene inspections in Priestwood Green are the job of Gravesham council’s environmental health team. They look at the cleanliness of the whole kitchen: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment. A cleaning log that includes deep cleans and grease trap visits shows the work is planned.
Hall kitchens near Church of Our Lady of the Meadow or elsewhere in Priestwood Green may have older sinks and drains, so a grease trap check is worth adding to a deep clean. If you run event catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Cobham College is about 2.9 miles north-east), a deep clean before or after the busy season is worth planning. A summer deep clean suits schools such as Culverstone Green Primary School, as the kitchen can be stripped back with no lunches to serve.
