Grease trap cleaning in Radfall
Think of the grease trap as a filter for the kitchen’s drains. When it’s looked after, you hardly know it’s there but left too long, it causes trouble. Routine cleaning keeps it in good working order. The work covers under-sink grease traps, kitchen waste pipes and school and care home kitchens, and common reasons people get in touch are a kitchen drain that smells and an under-sink unit that needs regular emptying.
Somewhere as small as Radfall, the kitchens that need a deep clean are typically a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still needs the occasional deep clean and its grease trap kept clear.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Collect waste cooking oil separately
- Hot water only moves grease further down
- Scrape plates and pans into the bin before washing up
- Make sure the trap can be reached easily
If we spot problems beyond the trap, such as a drain that still runs slowly, we’ll tell you. That may need a drainage contractor to look further.
Grease that gets past the trap sets in the drains. Clearing it then is a bigger job, so it’s far better to keep the trap clean.
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 are happy to quote for all of it.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
What affects the cost of grease trap cleaning
The price is fixed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- The times the site is available
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- The condition of the system
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we’ll price it together.
What we need to know
You do not need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Any previous report or certificate
- Problems your staff have spotted
- A few general shots of the system
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. That’s our job.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.
Radfall: your questions answered
Which environmental health team covers Radfall?
Food hygiene inspections in Radfall are carried out by Canterbury City council. Photos from a deep clean are a simple record of what was done and when.
Can the work in Radfall be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The site is handed back ready to open. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
How regularly does a grease trap need emptying?
It varies with the trap and the kitchen. Slow or smelly sinks between cleans mean it needs doing more often and we’ll adjust the schedule.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a single café to a large school. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
Which grease traps does the service cover?
Under-sink and inline grease traps, and larger interceptors. They’re emptied, cleaned and checked whatever the size.
What should go in our maintenance log?
Every certificate and report from each visit, kept together in your maintenance log, along with your own cleaning log. BESA advises that certificates record the date, location and technician.
Do I get a report after the visit?
Yes, always. It’s a dated, written report with pictures, and TR19® Grease cleans come with a certificate through the BESCA VHE portal. Keep it in your maintenance log.
How much does grease trap cleaning cost?
The price depends on the trap and the schedule. Just ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will quote before any work starts.

The process
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes an hour or so for an under-sink trap, longer for a larger unit. Somewhere like Radfall, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- A visit is booked around your service.
- The trap is opened up and checked.
- Built-up grease and food waste are taken out.
- We clean the baffles, inlet and outlet.
- The trap is closed, tested and the next clean discussed.
Getting ready for the visit
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
