Managing agents and facilities teams in Way
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Grease trap cleaning in Way, done properly
Grease trap cleaning keeps the drains running and the smells away. We empty the built-up grease and food solids, clean the inside and the baffles, and check the trap is working properly. If you have gurgling drains in the kitchen and an inline trap or interceptor due for cleaning, we can help.
Work in a small place like Way starts with agreeing a date and access, and the deep clean is the same as anywhere: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with pictures, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Common problems we fix in Way
If a trap is not emptied, grease passes straight through. It then builds up in the drains and the sewer beyond, where it can form blockages.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- An inline trap or interceptor due for cleaning
- Foul odours from the grease trap
- A small trap that fills too quickly
- Washing-up water that will not drain away
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Ramsgate General Hospital (about 3.5 miles east), cook for long hours, so deep cleans and grease trap work are planned around patients’ meals.
What your quote should include
- Whether VAT is included
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
- Whether a survey comes first
- How they set the interval to the next visit
What the work involves, part by part
Under-sink grease traps
Under-sink traps are cleaned in a short visit and check the seal on the lid.
School, care home and staff kitchens
In schools, grease traps can be cleaned when the kitchen is closed or after lunch service.
The process
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and it goes on the report too. The visit takes a short visit for a small trap and longer for an inline unit or interceptor. For a village or hamlet like Way, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- We locate the trap and check how it’s fitted.
- We make sure nothing drains into the trap.
- We empty out the fat, oil, grease and solids.
- We clean every part of the inside.
- We refit it, run water through and remove the waste.
Preparing for the visit
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Clear the space around the work
