Bodle Street Green: your questions answered

Which council inspects kitchens in Bodle Street Green?

That is Wealden council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Bodle Street Green. Inspection results feed into the food hygiene rating published by the Food Standards Agency.

Do you work in villages like Bodle Street Green?

Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Bodle Street Green is covered. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.

Can you give me a price for grease trap cleaning?

It depends on the type and size of the trap, its condition and access. Send us details or a photo and we will come back with a fixed price.

What is TR19?

It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping, and it takes a risk-based approach.

Do the sinks have to be out of use during the clean?

Just the sinks that drain into the trap, and only while we work. We plan the visit for a quieter time where we can.

What do you do with what you remove?

It’s contained and taken away. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go, so it does not spread.

Will I get paperwork for my records?

Yes, on every job. It’s a dated, written report with pictures, plus a certificate via the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal for TR19® Grease cleans. File it with your fire safety records.

Which kinds of sites do you work on?

Commercial premises of every kind: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. We fit the work around how the site operates.

Grease trap cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Bodle Street Green

Every trap is different. Under-sink traps are compact and need frequent attention and larger traps hold more grease before they fill. We assess the trap and how fast it fills and suggest an interval that suits. Typical jobs include a larger grease trap that needs emptying and foul odours from the grease trap, across school and care home kitchens, restaurants and takeaways and inline grease traps.

In a village or hamlet like Bodle Street 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’ve been trading since 2009, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we are fully insured.

How we price grease trap cleaning

The survey tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:

  • How easy every part is to reach
  • Any permits to work or inductions
  • One-off work versus a regular cycle
  • The number of sites or systems

What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and the price is agreed before any work starts.

Asking for a quote

Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Send what you can of the following:

  • How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
  • The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
  • Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
  • Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels

To get a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. We usually come back within one working day.

Aftercare tips

Once we have finished, these simple steps help:

  • Report slow or smelly sinks early
  • Keep access to the trap clear
  • Mention any increase in cooking
  • Fit sink strainers to catch food scraps

Between cleans, keep food scraps out of the sink. Use strainers in the sink plugholes so less solid waste gets through.

Slow sinks and a bad smell are early warnings. Getting it cleaned now can stop a full blockage later.

It’s Wealden council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Bodle Street 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.

Horselunges Manor, about 4.6 miles west, is one of the historic houses around Bodle Street Green; event kitchens at places like that work in bursts, so a deep clean after a busy season helps.

Amberstone Hospital, about 3.6 miles south-west, is the nearest hospital to Bodle Street Green; healthcare kitchens cannot stop cooking, so deep cleans are worked around meal times.

What happens on the day

Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. 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. Somewhere as small as Bodle Street Green, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.

  1. A visit is booked around your service.
  2. The trap is opened up and checked.
  3. We remove the grease layer and settled solids.
  4. The inside, baffles and outlet are cleaned.
  5. We close it up, check it drains and suggest when it needs cleaning again.

Before we arrive

  • Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
  • Let us know about parking and loading
  • Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool

What the work involves, part by part

Restaurant and takeaway kitchens

Visits are booked when the sinks are not in use so you don’t lose trade.

Grease interceptors

A larger unit takes more time to empty and clean and we plan the visit accordingly.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers

Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.

Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.

Why it’s worth doing now in Bodle Street Green

A smelly, overflowing trap attracts pests. A clean trap is less of an attraction, alongside good kitchen hygiene. A planned visit to Bodle Street Green is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.

When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before any work starts.

Why us?

  • Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus 24/7 emergency callout
  • One contact for all your sites in London and the South East
  • Fixed quotes from a survey or photos
  • In business since 2009

Staff cleaning versus specialist work

Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.

Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. That’s our job.
