About our grease trap cleaning in Wallend
Every trap is different. Under-sink traps are compact and need frequent attention, while inline traps and interceptors hold more. We look at the trap, how much the kitchen uses it and how quickly it fills before suggesting how often it needs cleaning. If you have drains clogged with fat and a routine grease trap service, we can help, from inline grease traps, under-sink grease traps and pot wash sinks onwards.
In rural areas, a kitchen may drain to a private system rather than a public sewer, so keeping fat out with a working grease trap matters even more.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with pictures after each 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.

How we price grease trap cleaning
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- How easy every part is to reach
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before we start.
Asking for a quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price, before we start.
When something else is needed
We will not sell you work that does not address the problem, so these are the things it will not cover:
- Grease deep in the drains, which needs jetting by a drainage contractor
- A unit that cannot cope with the kitchen’s output
- Blockages in the public sewer beyond the property
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Where we work
- School and care home kitchens
- Inline grease traps
- Kitchen waste pipes
- Under-sink grease traps
- Restaurants and takeaways
- Pot wash sinks
What the work involves, part by part
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.
Baffles and outlets
Every clean includes the baffles, inlet and outlet so the trap works as it should.
Your questions about grease trap cleaning in Wallend
Which environmental health team covers Wallend?
That’s Medway council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Wallend. How often a business is inspected depends on the council’s risk rating for it, so the kitchen needs to be ready at any time.
Do you cover smaller places like Wallend?
Yes. Wallend is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
What is TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked and expects a risk-based approach.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
Will you tell us when the next visit is due?
Yes. How often depends on use and condition and the report sets out why.
What should go in our maintenance log?
Each report and certificate we give you, kept together in your maintenance log with your in-house cleaning records. BESA advises that certificates record the date, location and technician.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. For many sites, pictures and a few details are enough, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
Will the grease trap clean disrupt the kitchen?
For the length of the clean, yes. It takes less than an hour for many under-sink units and we book it around your service.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Wallend
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Every visit ends with a dated report and photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We are happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.

Why act early in Wallend
A blocked drain can stop a kitchen in its tracks. Water won’t drain away, and dirty water can back up. Cleaning the grease trap on time helps prevent it. A planned visit to Wallend is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we survey first, from photos or on site, and the price is agreed before any work starts.

Common problems we fix in Wallend
In Wallend, as everywhere, grease traps are easy to forget. Hidden under a sink or in a floor, it’s often ignored until something goes wrong.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- A bad smell from the sinks or drains
- A larger grease trap that needs emptying
- Washing-up water that won’t drain away
- A blocked kitchen drain caused by grease
A summer deep clean suits schools such as St James Church of England Primary Academy, as the kitchen can be stripped back with no lunches to serve.
