What grease trap cleaning looks like in Staple
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 5 pubs, bars and clubs in and around Staple, up to about a mile and a half out. Any of them serving food has a kitchen that collects grease out of sight and drains that need protecting. It’s Dover council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Staple. 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 Staple, about 60 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. Evening, overnight and weekend visits are all possible.
If you run a kitchen in an older building near Staple, such as a historic house like Goodnestone Park (about 1.9 miles south-west), older drains make a working grease trap all the more important.

How we handle grease trap cleaning in Staple
Kitchens in Staple use us for grease trap cleaning, whether it’s an under-sink unit or a larger inline trap. Visits are booked around your service so washing up isn’t interrupted. Typical jobs include drains that gurgle and bubble and a routine grease trap service, across restaurants and takeaways, under-sink grease traps and kitchen waste pipes.
Rural kitchens may drain to a septic tank or a private drain rather than straight into a public sewer, and fat getting past a grease trap can cause real trouble there.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with pictures after every visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Staple
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.
Why deal with it now?
A smelly, overflowing trap attracts pests. Keeping the trap clean removes something they’re looking for, alongside good kitchen hygiene. Somewhere as small as Staple, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You’ll have a fixed price before any work starts.
What you get with us
- Survey first, then a fixed quote
- Ventilation hygiene specialists since 2009
- Full insurance on every job
- One number for every site across the South East and London

What the work involves, part by part
Restaurant and takeaway kitchens
Busy kitchens with lots of washing-up fill traps fast. They often need the most frequent cleaning.
Under-sink grease traps
An under-sink trap is out of sight. A full one shows itself with a slow, smelly sink.
Staple: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Staple?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Can you come to Staple after we close?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. That way a site in Staple does not have to lose a day’s trading. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we have been trading since 2009.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line, for problems that can’t wait. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
How far ahead should we book?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not usually. The area we’re working in has to be out of use while we are there, so the visit goes in a quiet slot.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Photos often do the job, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
What’s TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It isn’t legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.

Looking after it afterwards
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Keep access to the trap clear
- Keep strainers in every sink
- Act on gurgling or smelly drains
- Mention any increase in cooking
We will suggest when the trap should be cleaned again. It’s based on how full it was and how busy the kitchen is.
Grease that gets past the trap sets in the drains. Clearing it then is a bigger job, so it’s far better to keep the trap clean.
When to call us in Staple
In Staple, as everywhere, grease traps are easy to forget. Tucked away under the sink or below the floor it’s often left until there’s a problem.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- A routine grease trap service
- An overdue grease trap
- An inline trap or interceptor due for cleaning
- An under-sink unit that needs regular emptying
Hall and church kitchens, near Church of St James or anywhere around Staple, are used by many hands, and periodic deep cleans and grease trap visits keep them in order.
What your quote should include
- What records you’ll receive afterwards
- If they look at the system before pricing
- Proof of insurance
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
How the visit works
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. Seeing the system in pictures first means the trip to Staple can be planned properly.
- We start by finding the trap and checking its inlet and outlet.
- The sinks feeding the trap are kept out of use while we work.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
