Grease trap cleaning in Westmarsh
Grease is behind most blocked kitchen drains. Further on, grease can build into fatbergs in the sewer. A well-maintained trap holds them back. Typical jobs include a grease trap that hasn’t been emptied in a long time and drains that gurgle and bubble, on kitchen waste pipes, pot wash sinks and inline grease traps.
Somewhere as small as Westmarsh, the kitchens that need a deep clean are usually 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.
A written report with photos follows each visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

When to call us in Westmarsh
Hot water and detergent carry grease further than you’d expect. When it cools, the grease hardens in the pipework or the drain.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Sinks that drain slowly
- A routine grease trap service
- A larger grease trap that needs emptying
- A kitchen drain that smells
If you run event catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Goodnestone Park is about 4.6 miles south-west), a deep clean before or after the busy season is worth planning.

Westmarsh: your questions answered
Which council inspects kitchens in Westmarsh?
The local authority for Westmarsh is Dover council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. Photos from a deep clean are a simple record of what was done and when.
Is Westmarsh within the area you cover?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Westmarsh is covered. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
What does a grease trap clean cost?
It depends on the type and size of the trap, its condition and access. Send us details or a photo and we will come back with a fixed price.
What paperwork should we keep on file?
The reports and certificates from each visit, plus your own logs. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs may all ask to see them, so keep them together and easy to find.
Why does a grease trap need regular cleaning?
An overfull trap stops separating grease. The result is slow drains, foul odours and eventually a blockage.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. Work is timed around how each site runs.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
Do you take the waste away?
It’s removed from site when we leave. There’s nothing left for your team to deal with after we have finished.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with pictures.
Why deal with it now?
Smells from a neglected trap are hard to ignore. Decomposing waste in the trap smells bad and the smell carries. A clean trap takes the source away. In a small place like Westmarsh, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
What you pay depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.
What you get with us
- Every visit written up, with photos
- A single point of contact for sites across the South East and London
- Accredited under CHAS and SafeContractor, with ISO 9001
- A BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease

How it works
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, do the work, clear away and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself takes an hour or two in most kitchens, depending on the size and condition of the trap. For a village or hamlet like Westmarsh, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- We agree a time when the sinks are not needed.
- The trap is opened up and checked.
- We remove the grease layer and settled solids.
- The inside, baffles and outlet are cleaned.
- We close it up, check it drains and suggest when it needs cleaning again.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
Ask for a quote
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, and then give you a fixed quote. To start, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
