Grease trap cleaning in Rodmersham Green
Grease trap cleaning keeps the drains running and the smells away. The fat, oil, grease and solids are taken out and the chambers and baffles cleaned and the trap checked before we leave. The work covers restaurants and takeaways, pot wash sinks and inline grease traps, and common reasons people get in touch are an under-sink unit that needs regular emptying and foul odours from the grease trap.
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.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That is 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.

When to call us in Rodmersham Green
A full trap cannot hold any more grease. It then builds up in the drains and on towards the sewer, where it can form blockages.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- An under-sink trap that keeps filling up
- Gurgling drains in the kitchen
- Washing-up water that won’t drain away
- Grease setting in the kitchen pipework
Hall and church kitchens, near Church of St Nicholas or anywhere around Rodmersham Green, are used by many hands, and periodic deep cleans and grease trap visits keep them in order.

How we price grease trap cleaning
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- How big the system is
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.
What to send for a quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. The most useful are:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
To get a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. You’ll typically have a quote within one working day.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Between visits
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Act on gurgling or smelly drains
- Get food waste into the bin, not the sink
- Make sure the trap can be reached easily
- Mention any increase in cooking
Between cleans, keep food scraps out of the sink. Use strainers in the sink plugholes before they reach the trap.
Setting regular cleans takes the guesswork out. We agree the timing with you.
