About our grease trap cleaning in Boughton Green

What your team can do, and what needs us

Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.

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.

Grease trap cleaning in Boughton Green: local notes

The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 6 pubs, bars and clubs in and around Boughton Green, up to about a mile and a half out. Wherever food is prepared there, a periodic deep clean and a clear grease trap keep things in order. In Boughton Green, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Maidstone council. An inspection covers the structure of the kitchen as well as the food. Keeping a record of deep cleans and grease trap visits helps at inspection time.

Oakwood Hospital, about 3.1 miles north-west, is the nearest hospital to Boughton Green; healthcare kitchens can’t stop cooking, so deep cleans are worked around meal times. If you run a kitchen in an older building near Boughton Green, such as a historic house like Stoneacre (about 2.5 miles north-east), older drains make a working grease trap all the more important.

What affects the quote in Boughton Green

The quote reflects the site in front of us. We consider:

  • The number of sites or systems
  • Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
  • Site rules, permits and inductions
  • How big the system is

What you pay depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.

What we need to know

You don’t need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:

  • Problems your staff have spotted
  • Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
  • Where the site is and what kind of site it is
  • Any previous report or certificate

If you need grease trap cleaning in Boughton Green, call 0345 646 2711 or email us. Let us know the site type and the opening hours, plus pictures or the previous report if they’re to hand. A fixed quote usually follows within one working day.

How the job changes from site to site

Under-sink grease traps

Small grease traps sit under the sink. They fill quickly and need regular cleaning.

Inline grease traps

An inline trap sits in the pipework between the kitchen and the drain. They’re larger than under-sink traps but still fill up.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Boughton Green

If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so records stay tidy.

Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Boughton Green and across Kent. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.

Do you need grease trap cleaning in Boughton Green?

Hot water and detergent carry grease further than you’d expect. When it cools, the grease hardens, often in the trap or the pipe beyond.

Keep an eye out for these warning signs:

  • An inline trap or interceptor due for cleaning
  • A blocked kitchen drain caused by grease
  • Washing-up water that will not drain away
  • A full, neglected grease trap

A summer deep clean suits schools such as Boughton Monchelsea Primary School, as the kitchen can be stripped back with no lunches to serve.

Questions from Boughton Green

Do you work in villages like Boughton Green?

Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.

Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Boughton Green?

Food hygiene inspections in Boughton Green are carried out by Maidstone council. How often a business is inspected depends on the council’s risk rating for it, so the kitchen needs to be ready at any time.

How much notice do you need?

That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.

Can one contract cover all our sites?

Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and we will quote them together.

Can we book visits on a schedule?

Yes, of course. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we’ll propose a schedule with a fixed quote.

What happens to the waste?

We contain it and take it with us. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go, so it doesn’t spread.

Where does the grease from the trap go?

It’s removed from site when we leave. There’s nothing left for your team to deal with once the clean is done.

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 give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will quote before any work starts.

The process

The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes less than an hour for many under-sink units, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Boughton Green, let us know and we’ll plan around it.

  1. We find the trap and check how it’s connected.
  2. Nothing drains into the trap while it’s open.
  3. Built-up fat, oil and grease is removed from the trap.
  4. We clean the chambers, baffles and connections.
  5. Once it’s refitted, water is run through to check it drains, and we take the waste with us.

How to prepare

  • Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
  • Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
  • Have your last certificate or report to hand

Getting a quote

To get a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We usually come back within one working day.
