- The times we could work without disrupting the site

Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your photos and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before any work starts.
Grease trap cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Borough Green
Think of the grease trap as a filter for the kitchen’s drains. Kept clean, it does its job quietly, but neglected, it causes blockages and smells. Routine cleaning keeps it in good working order. The work covers school and care home kitchens, under-sink grease traps and restaurants and takeaways, and people most often call us about a routine grease trap service and a larger grease trap that needs emptying.
In a smaller place like Borough Green, commercial kitchens are more likely to be a pub, a café, a takeaway or a school or care home kitchen. A smaller kitchen still builds up grease where everyday cleaning does not reach.
Every visit ends with a written report and pictures, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Borough Green: your questions answered
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Borough Green?
Food hygiene inspections in Borough Green are carried out by Tonbridge and Malling council. Photos from a deep clean are a simple record of what was done and when.
Can you work in school kitchens in Borough Green during the holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. There are about 10 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Borough Green. Tell us your holiday dates and we’ll book the visit for when the site is empty.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, and the emergency line covers the rest.
Which sectors do you work in?
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.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes, of course. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we’ll suggest a schedule and quote for it.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, we’re fully insured. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it, for sites that check contractor safety.
Is Borough Green in your area?
Yes. We work across Greater London, Surrey, Kent, Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Essex, and that includes Borough Green.

For landlords and multi-site operators
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Borough Green and across Kent. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Commercial kitchens in Borough Green
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 11 pubs and bars within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Borough Green. Any of them serving food has a kitchen that collects grease out of sight and drains that need protecting. Kitchens in Borough Green get their food hygiene inspections from Tonbridge and Malling council. Walls, floors, ceilings and equipment are all part of what they look at. Having the dates of the last deep clean to hand saves digging for them on the day.
If you run a café or takeaway near Borough Green & Wrotham station, a deep clean overnight means the kitchen opens as normal next morning. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near The Church of the Good Shepherd or elsewhere in Borough Green, a deep clean and an emptied grease trap before a busy season of events are worth booking.

Keeping the system healthy
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Let us know if the kitchen gets busier
- Fit sink strainers to catch food scraps
- Book trap cleans at a set interval
- Hot water only moves grease further down
We will suggest when the trap should be cleaned again. It’s based on how full it was and how much the kitchen cooks.
If the kitchen has got busier, the trap fills faster. Shortening the cleaning interval now stops it overflowing.
Why act early in Borough Green
Once the trap is full, grease heads for the drain. It hardens on the pipe walls, until the drain blocks. Regular trap cleaning beats dealing with a blockage. Booking now means the visit to Borough Green is planned around you, not forced by a breakdown.
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 give you a fixed price before work begins.

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 the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. That’s our job.
Do you need grease trap cleaning in Borough Green?
Hot washing-up water keeps grease liquid for a while. When it cools, the grease hardens in the pipework or the drain.
What we’re most often called out for:
- A bad smell from the sinks or drains
- An under-sink unit that needs regular emptying
- A slow-draining kitchen sink
- An interceptor full of grease and solids
School kitchens, at schools like Borough Green Primary School for example, normally have their deep cleans and grease trap work done while the canteen is closed.
Questions to ask before booking
- How areas they can’t reach will be recorded
