Grease trap cleaning in Ringwould
A grease trap is the kitchen drain’s first line of protection. When it’s looked after, you hardly know it’s there, but neglected, it causes blockages and smells. A regular clean keeps it healthy. We’re often asked to deal with a regular cleaning plan for the grease trap and a bad smell from the sinks or drains, on under-sink grease traps, restaurants and takeaways and inline grease traps.
Somewhere as small as Ringwould, 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.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That’s why every job is written up in a report with pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Grease interceptors
Grease interceptors are larger units that serve busier kitchens. They hold more grease and solids but they still need cleaning.
Restaurant and takeaway kitchens
Visits are booked when the sinks are not in use so you do not lose trade.

What affects the cost of grease trap cleaning
Sites vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- How easy every part is to reach
- Any permits to work or inductions
- The condition of the system
- Parking and loading at the site
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before work begins.
Helping us quote
You do not need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts.
What happens if it’s left?
Pests are drawn to grease and food waste. Keeping the trap clean removes something they’re looking for as part of a clean kitchen. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
We don’t list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll explain what it covers.
Why us?
- A BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease
- Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus 24/7 emergency callout
- A fixed price before any work starts
- One number for every site across the South East and London

Managing agents and facilities teams in Ringwould
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Ringwould and across Kent. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Keeping the system healthy
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Never pour used oil down the sink
- Hot water only moves grease further down
- Tell us if your menu or hours change
- Tell us when sinks start draining slowly
We take the grease and solids away. Nothing is left for you to dispose of when we’re done.
A trap that is left too long stops catching grease. Cleaning it before it’s full keeps grease out of the drains and avoids a blockage.
What a clean will not put right
Grease trap cleaning cannot fix everything, and we’ll tell you before we start. It will not put right:
- A grease trap that is too small for the kitchen
- Broken pipework below ground
- Blockages in the public sewer beyond the property
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Where we work
- Pot wash sinks
- Kitchen waste pipes
- School and care home kitchens
- Restaurants and takeaways
- Inline grease traps
- Under-sink grease traps
Ringwould kitchens: local notes
Look up Ringwould on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 3 restaurants, cafés and canteens in Ringwould and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Each of them sends fat, oil and grease towards the drain, which is why grease traps need regular emptying. Kitchens in Ringwould get their food hygiene inspections from Dover council. Grease behind equipment or on a ceiling is the kind of thing an inspection can note. Photos and dates from each deep clean make a useful record.
If you cater for weddings or events at a historic house in the area (Walmer Castle is about 1.6 miles north-east), deep cleans can be fitted between bookings. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Nicholas or elsewhere in Ringwould, a deep clean and an emptied grease trap before a busy season of events are worth booking. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Royal Victoria Hospital (about 4.8 miles south-west), cook for long hours, so deep cleans and grease trap work are planned around patients’ meals.

- We find the trap and check how it’s connected.
- We ask for the sinks that drain into the trap not to be used.
- We take out the layer of fat, oil and grease and any solids.
- Every part of the trap is scraped and cleaned, including the baffles.
- The trap is reassembled, checked for leaks and the waste taken away.

Common questions in Ringwould
Do you work overnight in Ringwould?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. Your customers, staff or residents in Ringwould needn’t be disturbed. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Will you come out to Ringwould?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Ringwould included. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you clean under-sink and inline grease traps?
Under-sink units, inline traps and interceptors are all covered. Tell us what you have and we will plan around it.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not typically. The area we are working in has to be out of use while we’re there, so we book a time when it would be closed anyway.
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.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No. TR19® itself isn’t law; it’s a BESA specification. The legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005: the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19® is the recognised way to show grease is under control.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line, and we’ll advise on what to do next.
How long does a grease trap clean take?
Each trap is a little different, but a clean generally takes anything from under an hour to a few hours, depending on the trap. We’ll confirm when we quote.
