The process
Protection comes first: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes an hour or two in most kitchens, depending on the size and condition of the trap, and we clear up before we go. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Whatlington before we set off.
- We locate the trap and check how it’s fitted.
- We make sure nothing drains into the trap.
- Grease and solids are removed from the trap.
- The chambers and baffles are cleaned.
- The trap is refitted, tested with water and the waste taken away.
Preparing for the visit
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time

Advice
Grease trap cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Whatlington
For kitchens across Whatlington, grease trap cleaning fits easily around service. The trap is emptied, cleaned and checked and remove the waste. It can be booked on its own or alongside other kitchen work. If you’re dealing with a blocked kitchen drain caused by grease and gurgling from the sink waste, we can help, from restaurants and takeaways, school and care home kitchens and pot wash sinks onwards.
In a village or hamlet like Whatlington, commercial kitchens are few, perhaps a pub, a school or a care home. Each still needs the occasional deep clean and its grease trap kept clear.
A written report with photos follows every 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.

Your questions about grease trap cleaning in Whatlington
Can you get to a site in Whatlington?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Whatlington included. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Can a school kitchen in Whatlington be done out of term time?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. Food Standards Agency records list about 2 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Whatlington. Just call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your term dates and we’ll plan around them.
Do you clean under-sink and inline grease traps?
We clean all the common types. If you’re not sure what you have, send us a photo and we will confirm.
How much notice do you need?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, always. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it, and the quote is based on that.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, set at the interval the system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. We keep the work contained and leave the area clean.
Can you give me a price for grease trap cleaning?
Trap size, type, condition and access all affect the price. Send us details or a photo and we will come back with a fixed price.
Multi-site and managed buildings
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
Part by part
Inline grease traps
Several sinks may drain into one inline trap. That means more grease, so regular cleaning matters.
Under-sink grease traps
Small grease traps sit under the sink. Their small size means they fill fast and need regular cleaning.

- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends

No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.
