- Washing-up water that will not drain away
- An overdue grease trap
- A bad smell from the sinks or drains
What we do, step by step
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and the same goes into the written report. All told, the work takes a short visit for a small trap and longer for an inline unit or interceptor. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Biddenden Green, let us know and we will plan around it.
- First, we locate the grease trap and look at the pipework around it.
- We ask for the sinks that drain into the trap not to be used.
- The trap is emptied of grease and food waste.
- The inside, baffles and pipe connections are cleaned.
- The trap is reassembled, checked for leaks and the waste taken away.
Before we arrive
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need

About our grease trap cleaning in Biddenden Green
Smells from the sink, gurgling drains or slow drainage all point to the grease trap. In Biddenden Green, as everywhere we work, our team empties and cleans the trap, then check the water flows properly. The work covers kitchen waste pipes, school and care home kitchens and restaurants and takeaways, and people most often call us about drains that gurgle and bubble and a bad smell from the sinks or drains.
In a village or hamlet like Biddenden Green, 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.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
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.
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.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Kent. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.

What a clean will not put right
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what grease trap cleaning will not do:
- A leaking sink waste or trap connection
- Broken pipework below ground
- Sewer problems outside the premises
If you’re not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we work on in Biddenden Green
- Inline grease traps
- School and care home kitchens
- Under-sink grease traps
- Kitchen waste pipes
- Restaurants and takeaways
- Pot wash sinks
What happens if it’s left?
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. A fault that closes a site in a village like Biddenden Green affects everyone who depends on it.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before work begins.

Commercial kitchens in Biddenden Green
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 3 bars, pubs and nightclubs in and around Biddenden Green, up to about a mile and a half out. Where they run a kitchen, it needs the same deep cleaning and grease trap care as any restaurant. At about 42 miles from central London, Biddenden Green sits well inside the area we cover. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours. It’s Ashford council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Biddenden Green. An inspection covers the structure of the kitchen as well as the food. A cleaning log that includes deep cleans and grease trap visits shows the work is planned.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Benenden Hospital about 5.9 miles south-west, deep cleans and grease trap visits are planned so meals still go out. School kitchens, at schools like Smarden Primary School for example, typically have their deep cleans and grease trap work done while the canteen is closed. If you look after a hall kitchen near Church of St Michael or anywhere in Biddenden Green, a deep clean between busy seasons is easier than a scramble before a big event.

What the work involves, part by part
Baffles and outlets
Every clean includes the baffles, inlet and outlet so the trap works as it should.
Grease interceptors
Grease interceptors are larger units that serve busier kitchens. With more capacity, they fill more slowly but they still need cleaning.

Questions from Biddenden Green
Who inspects food businesses in Biddenden Green?
Kitchens in Biddenden Green are inspected by Ashford council’s environmental health officers. Keep the dates of your last deep clean and grease trap visit with your food safety records, ready if an officer asks.
Can the work in Biddenden Green be done at night or at weekends?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. It means the site in Biddenden Green keeps running as normal. When you phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, mention when the site is quiet.
What do you do with what you remove?
It’s contained and taken away. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on, so it does not spread.
Do you clean under-sink and inline grease traps?
Both under-sink and inline traps, plus interceptors. If you are not sure what you have, send us a photo when you call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so we can schedule a run of sites as one programme. Each site gets its own report and pictures.
Why does a grease trap need regular cleaning?
A full trap cannot catch any more grease. It then sets in the drains, causing blockages and smells and can end up adding to sewer blockages.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
In the words of the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person. That is generally the employer or the person in control of the premises, and where several people have control, each can have duties. If you’re not sure, check your lease and fire risk assessment.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We carry full insurance, and we’ve been trading since 2009.
