What grease trap cleaning looks like in Wingham Green
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 5 bars, pubs and nightclubs in Wingham Green and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Wherever they cook, the kitchen and its drains need the same attention as a restaurant’s. Food hygiene inspections in Wingham Green are the job of Dover council’s environmental health team. An inspection covers the structure of the kitchen as well as the food. Keeping a record of deep cleans and grease trap visits helps at inspection time.
School kitchens, at schools like Wingham Primary School for example, normally have their deep cleans and grease trap work done while the canteen is closed. St Martins Hospital, about 4.1 miles west, is the nearest hospital to Wingham Green; healthcare kitchens cannot stop cooking, so deep cleans are worked around meal times.

Signs you need grease trap cleaning in Wingham Green
Every pan and plate washed sends grease towards the drain. They cool and float to the top of the trap and the grease layer grows.
These are the problems we see most often:
- An interceptor full of grease and solids
- Foul odours from the grease trap
- A grease trap that hasn’t been emptied in a long time
- A regular cleaning plan for the grease trap
Hall kitchens near St Mary's Church or elsewhere in Wingham Green may have older sinks and drains, so a grease trap check is worth adding to a deep clean.

Wingham Green: your questions answered
Can school kitchens in Wingham Green be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. Around Wingham Green, the Food Standards Agency lists about 2 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Just ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with your term dates and we will plan around them.
Do you work at weekends in Wingham Green?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The site is handed back ready to open. Let us know the hours you are closed and we will book within them.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
Not in itself. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19® as the benchmark, and many insurance policies ask for proof of TR19® cleaning. The law behind it is the Fire Safety Order 2005, which applies in England and Wales.
What types of premises do you cover?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, as well as food production and leisure sites.
How regularly does a grease trap need emptying?
It varies. We look at how full the trap is and how quickly it fills and we’ll advise on timing.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Photos often do the job, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not usually. Visits are timed for when the area is closed, such as overnight or at a weekend, so you keep your normal hours.
How much notice should we give?
The more notice, the better, especially for out-of-hours work. We typically quote within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.

What else we do in Wingham Green
Part by part
School, care home and staff kitchens
In schools, grease traps can be cleaned when the kitchen is closed or between meal services.
Inline grease traps
Several sinks may drain into one inline trap. More waste means faster filling.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Wingham Green
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Why deal with it now?
Grease that gets past the trap does not disappear. It adds to blockages further down the drains and sewer. A well-maintained trap keeps it where it can be removed. In a place like Wingham Green, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
We don’t list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll explain what it covers.

The process
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the pictures you sent. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes a short visit for a small trap and longer for an inline unit or interceptor. Somewhere like Wingham Green, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- We locate the trap and check how it’s fitted.
- Sinks feeding the trap are taken out of use.
- We empty out the fat, oil, grease and solids.
- 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
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
Ask for a quote
Getting a quote does not take long. Send a few details and photos, and we normally reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
Advice
What affects the cost of grease trap cleaning
Sites vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- How big the system is
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.
What we need to know
We can often survey from photos. The most useful are:
- The postcode and the type of business
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
