What the work involves, part by part
School, care home and staff kitchens
Kitchens with fixed mealtimes build up grease more predictably. Planned cleaning fits their routine.
Inline grease traps
Inline traps are fitted into the drain line. They’re larger than under-sink traps but still fill up.
Grease trap cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Small Hythe
No two traps are quite the same. Under-sink units are small and fill quickly, while inline traps and interceptors hold more. We assess the trap and how fast it fills and suggest an interval that suits. If you’re dealing with an under-sink trap that keeps filling up and an overdue grease trap, we can help, from pot wash sinks, restaurants and takeaways and inline grease traps onwards.
Work in a small place like Small Hythe starts with agreeing a date and access.
We’ve been trading since 2009, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we’re fully insured.

When it’s something else
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so here are the limits:
- Collapsed or damaged drains, which need a drainage contractor
- Blockages further down the drainage network
- Grease set hard in the drain run
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Parts of the system we cover
- Inline grease traps
- Pot wash sinks

- School and care home kitchens
- Under-sink grease traps
What your team can do, and what needs us
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
When to call us in Small Hythe
A busy kitchen in Small Hythe, or anywhere else, fills its grease trap faster. Traps sized for lighter use can fill very quickly when trade picks up.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Drains clogged with fat
- Foul odours from the grease trap
- Scheduled grease trap emptying
- A full, neglected grease trap
Benenden Hospital, about 4.8 miles north-west, is the nearest hospital to Small Hythe; healthcare kitchens cannot stop cooking, so deep cleans are worked around meal times.

Small Hythe questions
Will you come out to Small Hythe?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Small Hythe?
Kitchens in Small Hythe are inspected by Ashford council’s environmental health officers. Photos from a deep clean are a simple record of what was done and when.
What happens to the waste?
It’s contained and taken away. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on, so it doesn’t spread.
What types of grease trap do you clean?
Under-sink units, inline traps and interceptors are all covered. Let us know what’s fitted and we will plan around it.
What accreditations do you have?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, to suit the system and how it’s used.
How long does a grease trap clean take?
As a guide, it takes an hour or two in most kitchens, depending on the size and condition of the trap. Bigger or overdue traps need more time and we’ll say so when we quote.
Will the grease trap clean disrupt the kitchen?
The sinks that drain into the trap can’t be used while it’s open. We book the visit around your service so the kitchen is not held up.
Grease trap cleaning around Small Hythe
In Small Hythe, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Ashford council. 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. We cover Small Hythe, about 47 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. Visits are booked around your hours, evenings and weekends included.
Hall kitchens near Church of St John the Baptist or elsewhere in Small Hythe may have older sinks and drains, so a grease trap check is worth adding to a deep clean. School kitchens, at schools like Homewood School and Sixth Form Centre for example, usually have their deep cleans and grease trap work done while the canteen is closed.

Why deal with it now?
For a kitchen in Small Hythe, a regular grease trap clean is a small, planned job. Waiting for a blockage turns it into an urgent problem and typically at the worst moment. A fault that closes a site in a village like Small Hythe affects everyone who depends on it.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before work begins.

The process
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes an hour or two in most kitchens, depending on the size and condition of the trap. Somewhere like Small Hythe, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- We agree a time when the sinks aren’t needed.
- We open the trap and look at its condition.
- We remove the grease layer and settled solids.
- We clean the baffles, inlet and outlet.
- We close it up, check it drains and suggest when it needs cleaning again.
Preparing for the visit
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Move anything stored near the system
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
Getting a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
