Bowling Alley questions
Can a school kitchen in Bowling Alley be done out of term time?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. The FSA’s register shows about 3 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Bowling Alley. Tell us your holiday dates and we will book the visit for when the site is empty.
Can you get to a site in Bowling Alley?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Bowling Alley included. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
What do you do with the waste?
We remove all the waste we take out. None of it goes back into the drains, of course.
What happens if a grease trap isn’t cleaned?
An overfull trap stops separating grease. The result is slow drains, foul odours and eventually a blockage.
What’s the right interval for grease trap cleaning?
It varies. We look at how full the trap is and how quickly it fills, then suggest a schedule.
Will cleaning the grease trap fix a blocked drain?
That depends on the cause. A full trap is a common cause, and cleaning it can help, but blockages further along need a drainage contractor.
How long does a grease trap clean take?
Typically, it takes an hour or two in most kitchens, depending on the size and condition of the trap. A large or very full trap takes longer and we will say so when we quote.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, 24/7. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, and the emergency line covers the rest.
Grease trap cleaning in Bowling Alley
Grease traps sit between the sinks and the drain, holding back fats, oils and grease. Cooling water lets the grease rise and separate while the water carries on to the drain. Over time, the trap fills up and has to be emptied and cleaned. Common call-outs are for an overdue grease trap and a small trap that fills too quickly, across restaurants and takeaways, kitchen waste pipes and school and care home kitchens.
Somewhere as small as Bowling Alley, the kitchens that need a deep clean are typically a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still needs the occasional deep clean and its grease trap kept clear.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

For a kitchen in Bowling Alley, a regular grease trap clean is a small, planned job. A blocked drain is an emergency and normally at the worst moment. Rural sites can’t always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.

What your team can do, and what needs us
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 is our job.
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
Keeping the system healthy
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Do not rely on hot water to clear grease
- Never pour used oil down the sink
- Mention any increase in cooking
- Don’t store things on top of the trap
We’ll suggest when the trap should be cleaned again. That depends on how quickly it filled and how much the kitchen cooks.
An overfull trap lets grease pass. Cleaning it before it’s full keeps grease out of the drains and avoids a blockage.
