How the job changes from site to site
Baffles and outlets
The baffles hold back grease while water flows on. They gather grease and debris, so we clean them.
Grease interceptors
A larger unit takes more time to empty and clean and we allow for that.

When to call us in Sevenoaks Weald
Hot water and detergent carry grease further than you’d expect. When it cools, the grease hardens in the pipework or the drain.
Most sites get in touch after spotting something like this:
- A grease trap that hasn’t been emptied in a long time
- A slow-draining kitchen sink
- A bad smell from the sinks or drains
- Gurgling from the sink waste
A summer deep clean suits schools such as Weald Community Primary School, as the kitchen can be stripped back with no lunches to serve.

Grease trap cleaning in Sevenoaks Weald: local notes

Related advice
Keeping the system healthy
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Collect waste cooking oil separately
- Report slow or smelly sinks early
- Avoid pouring boiling water down to shift grease
- Wipe grease off pans before washing them
If we spot problems beyond the trap, such as a drain that still runs slowly, we will tell you. It may need a drainage specialist to look further.
More cooking means more grease in the trap. Shortening the cleaning interval now keeps the drains flowing.
