- An under-sink trap that keeps filling up
- A full, neglected grease trap
- A kitchen drain that smells
How the visit works
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your pictures. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, the work takes an hour or so for an under-sink trap, longer for a larger unit. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to South Green.
- We locate the trap and check how it’s fitted.
- We make sure nothing drains into the trap.
- Grease and solids are removed from the trap.
- The chambers and baffles are cleaned.
- We refit it, run water through and remove the waste.
Getting ready for the visit
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Move anything stored near the system
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions

Grease trap cleaning for kitchens and businesses in South Green
Once a trap is full, grease passes straight through. Fat sets in the pipes downstream, leading to slow drains, blockages and smells. Regular cleaning keeps it working. If you’re dealing with a larger grease trap that needs emptying and a slow-draining kitchen sink, we can help.
For a kitchen in or near South Green, the visit is planned ahead, around opening times and the journey, and the deep clean is the same as anywhere: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment.
Every visit ends with a written report and photos, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What grease trap cleaning can’t fix
Before you book, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Plumbing leaks around the sink
- Blockages in the public sewer beyond the property
- Drains that need jetting rather than trap cleaning
If you are not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Where we work
- Under-sink grease traps
- School and care home kitchens
- Pot wash sinks
- Inline grease traps
- Kitchen waste pipes
- Restaurants and takeaways
When to call us in South Green
Every pan and plate washed sends grease towards the drain. They cool and float to the top of the trap, and the layer gets thicker day by day.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- A grease trap that hasn’t been emptied in a long time
- A blocked kitchen drain caused by grease
- A kitchen drain that smells
- A small trap that fills too quickly
Where a church or community hall near St Mary Magdalene Church, or anywhere in South Green, has a kitchen used by volunteers, a periodic deep clean keeps it ready for the next event.

Grease trap cleaning in South Green: local notes
About 35 miles out from central London, South Green is part of the South East area we work across. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours. Kitchens in South Green get their food hygiene inspections from Maidstone council. Walls, floors, ceilings and equipment are all part of what they look at. A record of each deep clean helps show the kitchen is kept in order.
Leeds Castle, about 4.4 miles south, is one of the historic houses around South Green; event kitchens at places like that work in bursts, so a deep clean after a busy season helps. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like KIMS hospital about 4.5 miles west, deep cleans and grease trap visits are planned so meals still go out.
South Green is about 4 miles south-west of Sittingbourne, in Kent. Anywhere in ME9, we can carry out grease trap cleaning at your premises. Across Kent, we cover 922 places, and South Green is one of them. Our Maidstone page covers sites nearby (6 miles or so).

Common questions in South Green
Which environmental health team covers South Green?
Kitchens in South Green are inspected by Maidstone council’s environmental health officers. Keep the dates of your last deep clean and grease trap visit with your food safety records, ready if an officer asks.
Can you get to a site in South Green?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, South Green included. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, depending on what the system needs.
Will cleaning the grease trap fix a blocked drain?
That depends on the cause. A full trap is a common cause, and cleaning it can help, but blockages further along need a drainage contractor.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, always. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it and the fixed quote is built on it.
What types of grease trap do you clean?
Under-sink and inline grease traps, and larger interceptors. They’re emptied, cleaned and checked in the same careful way.
Do you provide a certificate or report?
Yes, always. The report is dated and includes photos, and TR19® Grease cleans come with a certificate through the BESCA VHE portal. Keep it in your maintenance log.
What about areas you can’t get to?
They’re marked on the report. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, and we can fit those.
What the work involves, part by part
Restaurant and takeaway kitchens
A blocked drain in a busy kitchen can stop service. Regular trap cleaning helps prevent it.
Under-sink grease traps
We empty and clean under-sink traps without disrupting the rest of the kitchen and check the seal on the lid.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Why act early in South Green
For a kitchen in South Green, a regular grease trap clean is a small, planned job. A blocked drain is an emergency and usually at the worst moment. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to South Green is calmer for everyone.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.
