Grease trap cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Yorkletts
For kitchens across Yorkletts, grease trap cleaning fits easily around service. We empty, clean and check the trap and remove the waste. It can be booked on its own or alongside other kitchen work. We’re often asked to deal with a full, neglected grease trap and drains clogged with fat, on school and care home kitchens, restaurants and takeaways and kitchen waste pipes.
In rural areas, a kitchen may drain to a private system rather than a public sewer, so keeping fat out with a working grease trap matters even more.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That’s why every job is written up in a report with photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
When your team notices a problem 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.
For landlords and multi-site operators
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
When it’s something else
We won’t sell you work that does not address the problem, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- Sewer problems outside the premises
- A grease trap that’s too small for the kitchen
- Grease set hard in the drain run
If you’re not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will give you a straight answer.
What the work covers
- Restaurants and takeaways
- Under-sink grease traps
- School and care home kitchens
- Inline grease traps
- Kitchen waste pipes
- Pot wash sinks
Keeping the system healthy
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Mention any increase in cooking
- Keep strainers in every sink
- Make sure the trap can be reached easily
- Collect waste cooking oil separately
You’ll get our view on how often the trap needs cleaning. That depends on how quickly it filled and how much the kitchen cooks.
If the sinks are slow or smelly, the trap may be full. Acting at this stage normally prevents a blockage later.
What we do, step by step
Night work is normal for us. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. On site, the work takes an hour or two in most kitchens, depending on the size and condition of the trap. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Yorkletts before we set off.
- A visit is booked around your service.
- We open the trap and look at its condition.
- We remove the grease layer and settled solids.
- We clean the baffles, inlet and outlet.
- The trap is closed, tested and the next clean discussed.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Have your last certificate or report to hand

Wherever food is prepared there, a periodic deep clean and a clear grease trap keep things in order. Environmental health officers from Swale council inspect food businesses in Yorkletts. They look at the cleanliness of the whole kitchen: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment. Having the dates of the last deep clean to hand saves digging for them on the day.

We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- How big the system is

One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before work begins.

To help us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, a few photos and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
When to call us in Yorkletts
A full trap can’t hold any more grease. It goes on into the drain and the sewer beyond, where it can cause blockages.
Most sites get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Grease setting in the kitchen pipework
- A larger grease trap that needs emptying
- A routine grease trap service
- An under-sink trap that keeps filling up
Healthcare kitchens cook through the year, so a deep clean has to be fitted around meals; Whitstable and Tankerton Hospital, about 3.2 miles north-east, is the nearest hospital to Yorkletts.
