Why it’s worth doing now in Rolvenden
Grease that leaves the kitchen ends up somewhere. It can build up in the drains and join fatbergs in the sewer. Keeping it in the trap, and emptying the trap, is the responsible thing to do. With notice, the visit to Rolvenden can be fitted around your bookings and events.
What you pay depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.

How we handle grease trap cleaning in Rolvenden
No two traps are quite the same. Under-sink units are small and fill quickly, while inline traps and interceptors hold more. We look at the trap, how much the kitchen uses it and how quickly it fills before suggesting how often it needs cleaning. If you have washing-up water that won’t drain away and an inline trap or interceptor due for cleaning, we can put it right.
Work in a small place like Rolvenden starts with agreeing a date and access, and the deep clean is the same as anywhere: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

Looking after it afterwards
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Let us know if the kitchen gets busier
- Make sure the trap can be reached easily
- Keep strainers in every sink
- Keep the grease trap on a regular cleaning schedule
We take the grease and solids away. Nothing is left for you to dispose of after the visit.
Grease that gets past the trap sets in the drains. Clearing it then is a bigger job so prevention is the easier route.
What affects the cost of grease trap cleaning
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We consider:
- The scale of the work
- The times the site is available
- Parking and loading at the site
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before work begins.

What grease trap cleaning looks like in Rolvenden
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 3 pubs and bars in and around Rolvenden, up to about a mile and a half out. Wherever they cook, the kitchen and its drains need the same attention as a restaurant’s. Food hygiene inspections in Rolvenden are the job of Ashford council’s environmental health team. Grease behind equipment or on a ceiling is the kind of thing an inspection can note. Keeping a record of deep cleans and grease trap visits helps at inspection time. Rolvenden is about 44 miles from central London, well within the area we cover across London and the South East. Visits are booked around your hours, evenings and weekends included.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Parish Church of St Mary or elsewhere in Rolvenden, a deep clean and an emptied grease trap before a busy season of events are worth booking. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Benenden Hospital about 2.4 miles north, deep cleans and grease trap visits are planned so meals still go out.

Common problems we fix in Rolvenden
For a kitchen in Rolvenden or anywhere else, the trap is out of sight and out of mind. Tucked away under the sink or below the floor it’s often left until there’s a problem.
Most sites get in touch after spotting one of these:
- An under-sink unit that needs regular emptying
- An overdue grease trap
- A blocked kitchen drain caused by grease
- A routine grease trap service
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Rolvenden Primary School or anywhere near Rolvenden, the holidays are the time for a deep clean or a grease trap clean.

Questions from Rolvenden
Can you come to Rolvenden after we close?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The site is handed back ready to open. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Can you get to a site in Rolvenden?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Rolvenden included. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Where does the grease from the trap go?
We remove all the waste we take out. It isn’t poured back down the drain at any point.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
How much notice should we give?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
That depends on who controls the premises. The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty on the responsible person, which can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, an FM or a managing agent.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not usually. We need the work area to ourselves while we’re on site, so we book a time when it would be closed anyway.
Will you tell us when the next visit is due?
Yes. The recommended date is on the report. For kitchen extracts, BESA’s minimum intervals run from every 3 months for heavy use to every 12 months for light use, and fire dampers need testing at least once a year.
Different parts, different methods
School, care home and staff kitchens
Kitchens that serve set mealtimes fill their traps more steadily. Planned cleaning fits their routine.
Under-sink grease traps
Under-sink units are easy to forget. A full one shows itself with a slow, smelly sink.
What staff can safely do
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings 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. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that’s where we come in.
The process
The first job on site is protection: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes less than an hour for many under-sink units, and we clear up before we go. Somewhere as small as Rolvenden, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- First, we find the trap and look at its connections.
- Sinks feeding the trap are taken out of use.
- We empty out the fat, oil, grease and solids.
- We clean every part of the inside.
- The trap is refitted, tested with water and the waste taken away.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
