Grease trap cleaning in Sevington
Grease is behind most blocked kitchen drains. Down the line, they can add to fatbergs in the sewer. A grease trap that is emptied and cleaned regularly holds them back. If you’re dealing with sinks that drain slowly and gurgling drains in the kitchen, we can help, from under-sink grease traps, school and care home kitchens and inline grease traps onwards.
Somewhere as small as Sevington, 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.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with pictures, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Different parts, different methods
Baffles and outlets
Baffles inside the trap slow the water so grease can separate. Grease clings to them so they’re cleaned every time.
Restaurant and takeaway kitchens
Busy kitchens with lots of washing-up fill traps fast. They often need the most frequent cleaning.
What we do, step by step
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes an hour or two in most kitchens, depending on the size and condition of the trap. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Sevington.
- First, we locate the grease trap and look at the pipework around it.
- Nothing drains into the trap while it’s open.
- The trap is emptied of grease and food waste.
- We clean the chambers, baffles and connections.
- Once it’s refitted, water is run through to check it drains, and we take the waste with us.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend

Sevington questions
Do you cover smaller places like Sevington?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you work in Sevington outside opening hours?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. It means the site in Sevington keeps running as normal. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a small pub to a hospital. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
What happens to the waste?
We contain it and take it with us. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on, so it doesn’t spread.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No. The law sets the duty; TR19® is the benchmark used to show it’s met. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person has to manage fire risk, and many insurers can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of cleaning.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, every time. We diagnose before we treat: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it, and the quote is based on that.
What paperwork should we keep on file?
The reports and certificates from each visit, plus your own logs. They’re what an insurer, fire officer or EHO may ask for, so keep them where they can be found quickly.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
Protection goes down first: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
What affects the quote in Sevington
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- The condition we find in the survey
- The size of the system
- How easy every part is to reach
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are unsure, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line for straight advice and a fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
For grease trap cleaning in Sevington, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos. Let us know the site type and the opening hours, plus photos or the previous report if they’re to hand. A fixed quote normally follows within one working day.
What we’re called out for in Sevington
For a kitchen in Sevington 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 when they notice one of these:
- An inline trap or interceptor due for cleaning
- A regular cleaning plan for the grease trap
- Grease setting in the kitchen pipework
- An overdue grease trap
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as William Harvey Hospital (about 0.9 miles north), cook for long hours, so deep cleans and grease trap work are planned around patients’ meals.

Why it’s worth doing now in Sevington
A full grease trap lets grease through to the drains. It hardens on the pipe walls, until the drain blocks. Cleaning the trap regularly is far easier than clearing a blocked drain. Somewhere as small as Sevington, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
Why book with us
- A fixed price before any work starts
- A written report with photos after every visit
- We are fully insured
- Every job surveyed first

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Hot water only moves grease further down
- Mention any increase in cooking
- Book trap cleans at a set interval
- Never pour used oil down the sink
We take the grease and solids away. Nothing is left for you to dispose of when we are done.
Grease that gets past the trap sets in the drains. Once it’s there, it needs a drainage contractor to clear, so it’s far better to keep the trap clean.
