Grease trap cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Street End
Smells from the sink, gurgling drains or slow drainage all point to the grease trap. In Street End, as everywhere we work, our team empties and cleans the trap, then check the water flows properly. The work covers school and care home kitchens, inline grease traps and under-sink grease traps, and people most often call us about an interceptor full of grease and solids and a full, neglected grease trap.
Work in a small place like Street End starts with agreeing a date and access.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. So every job comes with a written report and photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

How it works
Protection comes first: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. Then we make the system safe and start. It takes less than an hour for many under-sink units, and we clear up before we go. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Street End run smoothly.
- First, we locate the grease trap and look at the pipework around it.
- We ask for the sinks that drain into the trap not to be used.
- Built-up fat, oil and grease is removed from the trap.
- We clean the chambers, baffles and connections.
- The trap is reassembled, checked for leaks and the waste taken away.
Preparing for the visit
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions

What staff can safely do
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. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.
Part by part
Inline grease traps
Several sinks may drain into one inline trap. More waste means faster filling.
Grease interceptors
Bigger kitchens may have a larger grease interceptor. They hold more grease and solids but they still need cleaning.
How we price grease trap cleaning
Every site gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- The size of the system
- The condition we find in the survey
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you will get one fixed quote.
Helping us quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- A few general shots of the system
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
To help us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, photos of the system and any previous report or certificate. Then ring 0345 646 2711 or email us.
FAQs for Street End
Who inspects food businesses in Street End?
Food hygiene inspections in Street End are carried out by Canterbury City council. An officer may look behind equipment and at drains, so it pays to have the deep clean booked before those areas build up.
Can you come to Street End after we close?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. It means the site in Street End keeps running as normal. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, we are fully insured. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor for clients who vet their contractors.
How long does a grease trap clean take?
Typically, it takes an hour or so for an under-sink trap, longer for a larger unit. Bigger or overdue traps need more time, and we will tell you in advance.
How much notice do you need?
Earlier is better, particularly for night and weekend visits. Quotes normally come back within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
Do I get a report after the visit?
Yes. You get a written report with photos after each visit, covering the work, any areas we couldn’t access and the recommended next date. Kitchen extract cleans to TR19® Grease also get a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
How often should a grease trap be cleaned?
There’s no single answer. We look at how full the trap is and how quickly it fills, then suggest a schedule.
Do you deal with blocked drains beyond the grease trap?
It depends where the blockage is. A full trap is a common cause, and cleaning it can help, but blockages further along need a drainage contractor.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Street End
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. 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, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
