How we handle grease trap cleaning in Bean
No two traps are quite the same. Under-sink traps are compact and need frequent attention and larger traps hold more grease before they fill. We look at the trap, how much the kitchen uses it and how quickly it fills and suggest an interval that suits. The work covers restaurants and takeaways, kitchen waste pipes and school and care home kitchens, and common reasons people get in touch are drains clogged with fat and a kitchen drain that smells.
In a village or hamlet like Bean, commercial kitchens are few, perhaps a pub, a school or a care home. Each still needs the occasional deep clean and its grease trap kept clear.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Bean
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit ends with a dated report and photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
How the job changes from site to site
Inline grease traps
Inline traps often take waste from several sinks or appliances. More waste means faster filling.
Under-sink grease traps
Under-sink traps are compact units fitted below the kitchen sink. Their small size means they fill fast and need regular cleaning.
Fixed quotes for grease trap cleaning in Bean
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- How easy every part is to reach
- The condition we find in the survey
- A single visit or a regular plan
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.
What to send for a quote
You don’t need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Any previous report or certificate
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
When something else is needed
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- Sewer problems outside the premises
- Grease set hard in the drain run
- A trap undersized for the amount of cooking
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Bean: your questions answered
Can you work in Bean outside opening hours?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. Your customers, staff or residents in Bean needn’t be disturbed. When you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, mention when the site is quiet.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Bean?
The local authority for Bean is Dartford council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. Photos from a deep clean are a simple record of what was done and when.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We carry full insurance and have been trading since 2009.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not typically. Visits are timed for when the area is closed, such as overnight or at a weekend, so the site can carry on as normal.
How much notice do you need?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes, of course. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we will propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
By covering it before any work starts. The work is kept contained and leave the area clean.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
Not in itself. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19® as the benchmark, and many insurers ask for proof of cleaning to it. The legal duty sits in the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 in England and Wales.
What your team can do, and what needs us
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Why it’s worth doing now in Bean
Pouring hot water or chemicals down a slow drain is a common quick fix. It just shifts the grease further along to set somewhere harder to reach. The lasting fix starts with the trap. Rural sites can’t always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are not sure what’s needed, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line for straight advice and a fixed quote.

What we do, step by step
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your pictures. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes anything from under an hour to a few hours, depending on the trap. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Bean and turn up when the site is quiet.
- First, we locate the grease trap and look at the pipework around it.
- The sinks feeding the trap are kept out of use while we work.
- Built-up fat, oil and grease is removed from the trap.
- The inside, baffles and pipe connections are cleaned.
- We put it back together, run water through and remove the waste.
Before we arrive
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Move anything stored near the system
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
