Badgers Mount grease trap cleaning

How we handle grease trap cleaning in Badgers Mount
Smells from the sink, gurgling drains or slow drainage all point to the grease trap. We find the trap, empty it and clean it and run water through to check it drains. The work covers kitchen waste pipes, pot wash sinks and inline grease traps, and people most often call us about gurgling drains in the kitchen and grease setting in the kitchen pipework.
Rural kitchens may drain to a septic tank or a private drain rather than straight into a public sewer, so keeping fat out with a working grease trap matters even more.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. 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.

Why it’s worth doing now in Badgers Mount
Grease that leaves the kitchen ends up somewhere. It can build up in the drains and join fatbergs in the sewer. Keeping it in the trap, and emptying the trap, is the responsible thing to do. A planned visit to Badgers Mount is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
The cost depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.

What staff can safely do
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.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.

How the job changes from site to site
School, care home and staff kitchens
Drains in care settings need to keep flowing. We fit visits around mealtimes.
Under-sink grease traps
Under-sink traps are compact units fitted below the kitchen sink. They fill quickly and need regular cleaning.
How it works
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. 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. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Badgers Mount, let us know and we will plan around it.
- A visit is booked around your service.
- We open the trap and look at its condition.
- We remove the grease layer and settled solids.
- The inside, baffles and outlet are cleaned.
- The trap is closed, tested and the next clean discussed.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
Getting a quote
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and pictures, and we normally reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Make sure the trap can be reached easily
- Tell us if your menu or hours change
- Wipe grease off pans before washing them
- Avoid pouring boiling water down to shift grease
We take the grease and solids away. There’s no greasy waste left on site when we’re done.
Slow sinks and a bad smell are early warnings. Getting it cleaned now can stop a full blockage down the line.
When it’s something else
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Broken pipework below ground
- Blockages in the public sewer beyond the property
- Drains that need jetting rather than trap cleaning
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will say what we think.

Common questions in Badgers Mount
Do you cover smaller places like Badgers Mount?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Badgers Mount included. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Which environmental health team covers Badgers Mount?
Food hygiene inspections in Badgers Mount are carried out by Sevenoaks council. Photos from a deep clean are a simple record of what was done and when.
What types of grease trap do you clean?
We cover under-sink, inline and interceptor units. Each one is emptied, cleaned and checked whatever the size.
What problems does a full grease trap cause?
A full trap can’t catch any more grease. It then sets in the drains, causing blockages and smells and can end up adding to sewer blockages.
Do the sinks have to be out of use during the clean?
While we work, those sinks are out of use. It takes less than an hour for many under-sink units and we book it around your service.
Do you deal with blocked drains beyond the grease trap?
We clean the trap, not the drain network. Where the problem is further down the drain, we’ll say so so you can call a drainage contractor.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Commercial premises of every kind: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. We fit the work around how the site operates.
How long will the sinks be out of use?
A typical clean takes a short visit for a small trap and longer for an inline unit or interceptor including checking it drains. It’s booked when the sinks aren’t needed.
