Grease trap cleaning in Woolage Village
Think of the grease trap as a filter for the kitchen’s drains. When it’s looked after, you hardly know it’s there but left too long, it causes trouble. Routine cleaning keeps it in good working order. Typical jobs include a grease trap that hasn’t been emptied in a long time and gurgling drains in the kitchen, on under-sink grease traps, school and care home kitchens and inline grease traps.
For a kitchen in or near Woolage Village, the visit is planned ahead, around opening times and the journey, and the deep clean is the same as anywhere: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment.
A written report with photos follows each visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

How the visit works
Night work is normal for us. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. The visit itself takes an hour or two in most kitchens, depending on the size and condition of the trap. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Woolage Village, let us know and we’ll plan around it.
- First, we find the trap and look at its connections.
- Sinks feeding the trap are taken out of use.
- Grease and solids are removed from the trap.
- We clean every part of the inside.
- The trap is refitted, tested with water and the waste taken away.
Before we arrive
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system

Questions from Woolage Village
Is Woolage Village within the area you cover?
Yes, Woolage Village is part of our area, however small the site. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Who inspects food businesses in Woolage Village?
In Woolage Village, it’s Dover council that carries out food hygiene inspections. An officer may look behind equipment and at drains, so it pays to have the deep clean booked before those areas build up.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
We never leave them off the paperwork. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we will propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
Can you give me a price for grease trap cleaning?
Trap size, type, condition and access all affect the price. Tell us about the trap and we’ll send you a fixed quote.
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’s the right interval for grease trap cleaning?
That depends on the trap and the kitchen. A small trap fills more quickly than a large one, and busy kitchens fill them faster still. We’ll suggest an interval after the first clean.
Which sectors do you work in?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, as well as food production and leisure sites.
What your team can do, and what needs us
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Looking after it afterwards
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Keep waste oil out of the drains
- Do not rely on hot water to clear grease
- Mention any increase in cooking
- Keep access to the trap clear
The sinks are ready to use as soon as we have finished. We run water through to check it drains before we leave.
An overfull trap lets grease pass. Cleaning it before it’s full keeps grease out of the drains and saves a call-out for a blocked drain.

- The postcode and the type of business

What we are called out for in Woolage Village
Fats, oils and grease from cooking and washing up go down the sink. In the trap, they cool and separate, and the layer gets thicker day by day.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- A full, neglected grease trap
- An under-sink trap that keeps filling up
- A routine grease trap service
- Washing-up water that will not drain away
If you cater for weddings or events at a historic house in the area (Goodnestone Park is about 2.8 miles north-east), deep cleans can be fitted between bookings.
Questions to ask before you book
