Grease trap cleaning in Wye, done properly
If the sinks drain slowly or smell, the trap is often the cause. We find the trap, empty it and clean it, then check the water flows properly. If you have foul odours from the grease trap and a blocked kitchen drain caused by grease, we can put it right, from restaurants and takeaways, under-sink grease traps and kitchen waste pipes onwards.
For a kitchen in or near Wye, 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.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

How the job changes from site to site
Baffles and outlets
Baffles inside the trap slow the water so grease can separate. Grease clings to them, so we clean them.
Restaurant and takeaway kitchens
A blocked drain in a busy kitchen can stop service. Keeping the trap clean reduces the risk.
Your questions about grease trap cleaning in Wye
Which environmental health team covers Wye?
The local authority for Wye is Ashford council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. Photos from a deep clean are a simple record of what was done and when.
Can school kitchens in Wye be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. Around Wye, the Food Standards Agency lists about 2 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Tell us your holiday dates and we will book the visit for when the site is empty.
Where does the grease from the trap go?
It’s removed from site when we leave. Your staff do not have to handle it after we have finished.
Will you tell us when the next visit is due?
Yes. The recommended date is on the report. BESA’s minimum intervals for kitchen extracts range from 3-monthly for heavy use to 12-monthly for light use, and fire dampers need testing at least once a year.
What’s the right interval for grease trap cleaning?
It depends on the size of the trap and how busy the kitchen is. A small trap fills more quickly than a large one and the busier the kitchen, the faster it fills. We will suggest an interval after the first clean.
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 will come back with a fixed price.
Will I get paperwork for my records?
Yes, always. It’s a dated, written report with photos, and TR19® Grease cleans come with a certificate through the BESCA VHE portal. Keep it in your maintenance log.
Is Wye in your area?
Yes. We cover Wye and across Kent, within our South East and London area. To book, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
When something else is needed
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work will not fix:
- Plumbing leaks around the sink
- Grease deep in the drains, which needs jetting by a drainage contractor
- Drains that are cracked or have collapsed
If you are not sure, just call 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
What the work covers
- Restaurants and takeaways
- School and care home kitchens
- Inline grease traps
- Kitchen waste pipes
- Under-sink grease traps
- Pot wash sinks
Keeping the system healthy
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Keep the grease trap on a regular cleaning schedule
- Tell us if your menu or hours change
- Keep strainers in every sink
- Get food waste into the bin, not the sink
Between cleans, keep food scraps out of the sink. Sink strainers help catch solids so less solid waste gets through.
A fixed cleaning interval means the trap never gets overfull. We agree the timing with you.
Why act early in Wye
Once the trap is full, grease heads for the drain. It hardens on the pipe walls until water can’t get through. Cleaning the trap regularly is far easier than clearing a blocked drain. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Wye is calmer for everyone.
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.

Grease trap cleaning around Wye
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 4 restaurants, cafés and works canteens within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Wye. A grease trap in kitchens like these fills steadily and needs emptying before it overflows. Wye is about 50 miles from central London, well within the area we cover across London and the South East. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours. In Wye, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Ashford council. An inspection covers the structure of the kitchen as well as the food. A record of each deep clean helps show the kitchen is kept in order.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of Saint Gregory and Saint Martin or elsewhere in Wye, a deep clean and an emptied grease trap before a busy season of events are worth booking. If you serve passing trade near Wye station, a grease trap on a regular schedule keeps the drains running through busy weeks.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
What we do, step by step
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool before we start, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes a short visit for a small trap and longer for an inline unit or interceptor. If you can send photos, we can arrive in Wye knowing what to expect.
- We find the trap and check how it’s connected.
- The sinks feeding the trap are kept out of use while we work.
- Built-up fat, oil and grease is removed from the trap.
- We clean the chambers, baffles and connections.
- We put it back together, run water through and remove the waste.
How to prepare
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards

Common problems we fix in Wye
For a kitchen in Wye or anywhere else, the trap is out of sight and out of mind. Tucked away under the sink or below the floor it’s often left until there’s a problem.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- A small trap that fills too quickly
- A grease trap that hasn’t been emptied in a long time
- Gurgling from the sink waste
- Scheduled grease trap emptying
School kitchens, at schools like Lady Joanna Thornhill Endowed Primary School for example, usually have their deep cleans and grease trap work done while the canteen is closed.
