Grease trap cleaning in Brenchley, done properly
A neglected grease trap stops doing its job. Fat sets in the pipes downstream and the result is blocked drains and bad smells. A trap that is cleaned regularly keeps grease where it belongs. We’re often asked to deal with sinks that drain slowly and a full, neglected grease trap, across inline grease traps, restaurants and takeaways and school and care home kitchens.
For a kitchen in or near Brenchley, the visit is planned ahead, around opening times and the journey, and the deep clean is the same as anywhere: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment.
A written report with pictures follows each visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Brenchley kitchens: local notes
Look up Brenchley on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 3 restaurants, cafés and canteens in Brenchley and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Fat from washing up sets hard in pipes, and kitchens like these produce plenty of it. It’s Tunbridge Wells council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Brenchley. Walls, floors, ceilings and equipment are all part of what they look at. Photos and dates from each deep clean make a useful record.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Tunbridge Wells Hospital (about 3.9 miles west), cook for long hours, so deep cleans and grease trap work are planned around patients’ meals. If you run event catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Scotney Castle is about 4.1 miles south), a deep clean before or after the busy season is worth planning.
Brenchley is about 6 miles east of Royal Tunbridge Wells, in Kent.

How we price grease trap cleaning
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We consider:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- The size of the system
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.
Asking for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Any previous report or certificate
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
To get a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. We normally come back within one working day.
For landlords and multi-site operators
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
When to call us in Brenchley
Hot washing-up water keeps grease liquid for a while. Once it cools, it sets, often in the trap or the pipe beyond.
These are the problems we see most often:
- A slow-draining kitchen sink
- Drains that gurgle and bubble
- A kitchen drain that smells
- A full, neglected grease trap
Hall and church kitchens, near Parish Church of All Saints or anywhere around Brenchley, are used by many hands, and periodic deep cleans and grease trap visits keep them in order.

- Whether VAT is included
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.

Why act early in Brenchley
Some kitchens try to fix slow drains with hot water or drain cleaners. That only moves the grease further down the pipe, where it sets again. The lasting fix starts with the trap. A fault that closes a site in a village like Brenchley affects everyone who depends on it.
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you’ll get one fixed quote.

Yes. Brenchley is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Do you work in school kitchens around Brenchley out of term?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. Around Brenchley, the Food Standards Agency lists about 3 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Just call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with your term dates and we will plan around them.

What accreditations do you have?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We are fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
What happens to the waste?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, including grease, debris and dirty water. None of it is left on site.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a small pub to a hospital. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
Which grease traps does the service cover?
Both under-sink and inline traps, plus interceptors. If you’re not sure what you have, send us a photo when you phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so we can schedule a run of sites as one programme. Each site gets its own report and pictures.
What we do, step by step
We are used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so the site can open as normal afterwards. The visit itself takes a short visit for a small trap and longer for an inline unit or interceptor. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Brenchley run smoothly.
- We locate the trap and check how it’s fitted.
- Sinks feeding the trap are taken out of use.
- Grease and solids are removed from the trap.
- We clean every part of the inside.
- The trap is refitted, tested with water and the waste taken away.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the space around the work
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Tell us where we can park and unload
