Bredhurst grease trap cleaning

- An interceptor full of grease and solids
- Sinks that drain slowly
- A bad smell from the sinks or drains
How we handle grease trap cleaning in Bredhurst
A clean trap means flowing drains and no foul smells. We empty the built-up grease and food solids, clean the inside and the baffles, and check the trap is working properly. The work covers restaurants and takeaways, under-sink grease traps and school and care home kitchens, and people most often call us about scheduled grease trap emptying and an under-sink trap that keeps filling up.
In a village or hamlet like Bredhurst, 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.
Every visit ends with a written report and photos, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Your questions about grease trap cleaning in Bredhurst
Will you come out to Bredhurst?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can school kitchens in Bredhurst be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. The FSA’s register shows about 4 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Bredhurst. Just ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your term dates and we will plan around them.
Do you take the waste away?
We take it away. Your staff don’t have to handle it once the clean is done.
Are you accredited?
We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.
Does the report say when we need you again?
Yes. Every report includes a recommended date for the next visit, based on what we found and how the system is used.
How much time does a grease trap clean need?
A typical clean takes a short visit for a small trap and longer for an inline unit or interceptor including checking it drains. We plan the visit around your service.
Do we need to stop using the sinks while you work?
While we work, those sinks are out of use. It takes anything from under an hour to a few hours, depending on the trap and we book it around your service.
What’s the right interval for grease trap cleaning?
That depends on the trap and the kitchen. Small under-sink units fill faster than larger traps and the busier the kitchen, the faster it fills. We will recommend a schedule once we have seen it.

Common problems we fix in Bredhurst
The more a kitchen cooks and washes up, the quicker the trap fills. A trap that suited a quieter kitchen can fill very quickly when trade picks up.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Washing-up water that won’t drain away
- An inline trap or interceptor due for cleaning
- A full, neglected grease trap
- A small trap that fills too quickly
Restoration House, about 5 miles north-west, is one of the historic houses around Bredhurst; event kitchens at places like that work in bursts, so a deep clean after a busy season helps.

- How VAT is shown on the quote
- Whether a written report and pictures are included
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
What happens if it’s left?
A full grease trap lets grease through to the drains. There it sets and narrows the pipe, until the drain blocks. Cleaning the trap regularly is far easier than clearing a blocked drain. A fault that closes a site in a village like Bredhurst affects everyone who depends on it.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
How it works
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the work takes less than an hour for many under-sink units. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Bredhurst before we set off.
- We agree a time when the sinks are not needed.
- The trap is opened up and checked.
- Built-up grease and food waste are taken out.
- We clean the baffles, inlet and outlet.
- We close it up, check it drains and suggest when it needs cleaning again.
How to prepare
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions

What the work involves, part by part
Baffles and outlets
We check the inlet, outlet and baffles at each clean so the trap works as it should.
Under-sink grease traps
Under-sink traps are cleaned in a short visit, and check the lid and seals.
Bredhurst kitchens: local notes
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 6 bars, pubs and nightclubs within about 1.5 miles of central Bredhurst. Pub and hotel kitchens get the same build-up behind equipment and in the grease trap as any other. Kitchens in Bredhurst get their food hygiene inspections from Maidstone council. They look at the cleanliness of the whole kitchen: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment. A record of each deep clean helps show the kitchen is kept in order.
Hall kitchens near Church of St Peter or elsewhere in Bredhurst may have older sinks and drains, so a grease trap check is worth adding to a deep clean. KIMS hospital, about 3.2 miles south, is the nearest hospital to Bredhurst; healthcare kitchens can’t stop cooking, so deep cleans are worked around meal times.

What a clean will not put right
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Sewer problems outside the premises
- A grease trap that’s too small for the kitchen
