Grease trap cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Boughton Corner
Grease trap cleaning keeps the drains running and the smells away. We empty the built-up grease and food solids, clean the inside and the baffles and the trap checked before we leave. If you have a blocked kitchen drain caused by grease and sinks that drain slowly, we can put it right, from school and care home kitchens, restaurants and takeaways and inline grease traps onwards.
Somewhere as small as Boughton Corner, the kitchens that need a deep clean are typically a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Wherever there is one, it needs its grease trap and hard-to-reach areas kept clean.
We have been trading since 2009, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.

Grease trap cleaning in Boughton Corner: local notes
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 3 bars, pubs and nightclubs within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Boughton Corner. Pub and hotel kitchens get the same build-up behind equipment and in the grease trap as any other. In Boughton Corner, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Ashford council. An inspection covers the structure of the kitchen as well as the food. Photos and dates from each deep clean make a useful record. Boughton Corner is about 49 miles from central London, well within the area we cover across London and the South East. Visits are booked around your hours, evenings and weekends included.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as William Harvey Hospital (about 3.7 miles south), cook for long hours, so deep cleans and grease trap work are planned around patients’ meals. Where a church or community hall near All Saints’ Church, or anywhere in Boughton Corner, has a kitchen used by volunteers, a periodic deep clean keeps it ready for the next event.

Common problems we fix in Boughton Corner
For a kitchen in Boughton Corner or anywhere else, the trap is out of sight and out of mind. Hidden under a sink or in a floor, it’s often ignored until something goes wrong.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- A regular cleaning plan for the grease trap
- An under-sink trap that keeps filling up
- A grease trap that hasn’t been emptied in a long time
- Drains clogged with fat
Half-term is a good time for school kitchens, at schools like Lady Joanna Thornhill Endowed Primary School for instance, to have the grease trap emptied and the kitchen deep cleaned.
Questions to ask before booking
- What hours they’ll be on site
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- Whether the price is fixed
- If they look at the system before pricing
When something else is needed
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- A grease trap that is too small for the kitchen
- Sewer problems outside the premises
- A leaking sink waste or trap connection
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will say what we think.
Where we work

What your team can do, and what needs us
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
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. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Common questions in Boughton Corner
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Boughton Corner?
Kitchens in Boughton Corner are inspected by Ashford council’s environmental health officers. Inspection results feed into the food hygiene rating published by the Food Standards Agency.
Will you come out to Boughton Corner?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
How far ahead should we book?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
What should go in our maintenance log?
Everything that shows the system is looked after: our reports and pictures, any certificates and your in-house logs. One maintenance log per site keeps it simple.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, set at the interval the system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
What is TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
What problems does a full grease trap cause?
Once it’s full, grease passes straight through. It then sets in the drains, causing blockages and smells and can end up adding to sewer blockages.
What happens to the waste?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. We don’t leave it behind.
The process
Night work is normal for us. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. On site, the work takes an hour or two in most kitchens, depending on the size and condition of the trap. Somewhere as small as Boughton Corner, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- A visit is booked around your service.
- The trap is opened up and checked.
- We remove the grease layer and settled solids.
- We clean the baffles, inlet and outlet.
- We close it up, check it drains and suggest when it needs cleaning again.
Before we arrive
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool

Inline grease traps
Inline traps may be under a floor panel or in a cupboard. We check how to reach it before the visit.
Grease interceptors
Grease interceptors are larger units that serve busier kitchens. With more capacity, they fill more slowly, but they still need regular emptying and cleaning.
Why act early in Boughton Corner
A blocked drain can stop a kitchen in its tracks. Water will not drain away and waste water can come back up. Keeping the trap clean reduces the risk. Somewhere as small as Boughton Corner, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
What you pay depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.
