Grease trap cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Biddenden
No two traps are quite the same. Under-sink units are small and fill quickly, while inline traps and interceptors hold more. 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 inline grease traps, kitchen waste pipes and pot wash sinks, and common reasons people get in touch are a slow-draining kitchen sink and an overdue grease trap.
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.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Leave it or put it right?
Grease that leaves the kitchen ends up somewhere. It can build up in the drains and join fatbergs in the sewer. A well-maintained trap keeps it where it can be removed. A fault that closes a site in a village like Biddenden affects everyone who depends on it.
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before work begins.

What the work involves, part by part
Baffles and outlets
The outlet carries the separated water on to the drain. If it’s blocked or greasy, the trap backs up.
School, care home and staff kitchens
Kitchens that serve set mealtimes fill their traps more steadily. A regular interval suits them well.
Honest limits
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Drains that need jetting rather than trap cleaning
- Blockages further down the drainage network
- Leaking pipework or sink wastes, which need a plumber
If you are not sure, just call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What else we do in Biddenden
Questions from Biddenden
Can you come to Biddenden after we close?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. Your customers, staff or residents in Biddenden needn’t be disturbed. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Who inspects food businesses in Biddenden?
Kitchens in Biddenden are inspected by Ashford council’s environmental health officers. Inspection results feed into the food hygiene rating published by the Food Standards Agency.
What problems does a full grease trap cause?
An overfull trap stops separating grease. The result is slow drains, foul odours and eventually a blockage.
Do you clean under-sink and inline grease traps?
We clean under-sink traps, inline traps and interceptors. Let us know what’s fitted and we’ll plan the visit.
What’s TR19?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
Can you give me a price for grease trap cleaning?
We price it once we know the trap and how often it needs cleaning. Just call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will quote so you know the cost up front.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, to suit the system and how it’s used.
Do you cover Biddenden?
Yes. Our technicians work in Biddenden, within the South East and London area we cover.
Aftercare tips
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep the grease trap on a regular cleaning schedule
- Keep access to the trap clear
- Never pour used oil down the sink
- Mention any increase in cooking
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. Getting it cleaned now can stop a full blockage down the line.
What happens on the day
Protection comes first: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. Then we make the system safe and start. 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.

Biddenden kitchens: local notes
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 7 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens within about 1.5 miles of central Biddenden. Fat from washing up sets hard in pipes, and kitchens like these produce plenty of it. Environmental health officers from Ashford council inspect food businesses in Biddenden. They look at the cleanliness of the whole kitchen: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment. Photos and dates from each deep clean make a useful record. We cover Biddenden, about 41 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours.
Healthcare kitchens cook through the year, so a deep clean has to be fitted around meals; Benenden Hospital, about 2.3 miles south-west, is the nearest hospital to Biddenden. Hall kitchens near Parish Church of All Saints or elsewhere in Biddenden may have older sinks and drains, so a grease trap check is worth adding to a deep clean. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as John Mayne Church of England Primary School or anywhere near Biddenden, the holidays are the time for a deep clean or a grease trap clean.
