Grease trap cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Watt's Cross
Kitchens in Watt's Cross use us for grease trap cleaning, whether it’s an under-sink unit or a larger inline trap. We come when the sinks are not needed, so the kitchen keeps running. If you have a grease trap that hasn’t been emptied in a long time and an interceptor full of grease and solids, we can help.
Somewhere as small as Watt's Cross, the kitchens that need a deep clean are typically a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Wherever there is one, it needs its grease trap and hard-to-reach areas kept clean.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with pictures of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

What affects the cost of grease trap cleaning
Every site gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- The number of sites or systems
- Site rules, permits and inductions
The cost depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
What we need to know
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Problems your staff have spotted
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- The times we could work without disrupting the site

How the job changes from site to site
School, care home and staff kitchens
In schools, grease traps can be cleaned when the kitchen is closed or between meal services.
Grease interceptors
Bigger kitchens may have a larger grease interceptor. They hold more grease and solids but they still need cleaning.
When it’s something else
Not every problem is solved by grease trap cleaning, and we’ll tell you before we start. It doesn’t solve:
- Broken pipework below ground
- Drains that need jetting rather than trap cleaning
- Blockages in the public sewer beyond the property
If you are not sure, just call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will give you a straight answer.

Wherever they wash pans and plates, fat heads for the drain unless a trap catches it.

What else we do in Watt's Cross
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. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
FAQs for Watt's Cross
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Watt's Cross?
Kitchens in Watt's Cross are inspected by Tonbridge and Malling 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.
Do you work overnight in Watt's Cross?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The site is handed back ready to open. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we will book within them.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, we are fully insured. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it, for sites that check contractor safety.
Do I get a report after the visit?
Yes. It’s the record insurers and inspectors ask to see: a dated report with photos, listing the work and any areas we couldn’t reach.
Which accreditations do you hold?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We’ve been trading since 2009 and we are fully insured.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
We record them on the report, with photos where possible, and we tell you what would make it reachable, for example new access panels.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
It depends on the building. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, facilities manager or managing agent.
What do you do with the waste?
It’s removed from site when we leave. There’s nothing left for your team to deal with once the clean is done.
How the visit works
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool first, and the area around the work is covered and protected. The work itself takes anything from under an hour to a few hours, depending on the trap. Seeing the system in photos first means the trip to Watt's Cross can be planned properly.
- First, we locate the grease trap and look at the pipework around it.
- The sinks feeding the trap are kept out of use while we work.
- We take out the layer of fat, oil and grease and any solids.
- We clean the chambers, baffles and connections.
- The trap is reassembled, checked for leaks and the waste taken away.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the space around the work
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive

Advice
For landlords and multi-site operators
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
What happens if it’s left?
Grease that gets past the trap does not disappear. It can build up in the drains and join fatbergs in the sewer. Keeping it in the trap, and emptying the trap, is the responsible thing to do. Somewhere as small as Watt's Cross, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.
