Inline grease traps
Inline traps are fitted into the drain line. They hold more than under-sink units but still fill up.
School, care home and staff kitchens
Care home and hospital kitchens need their drains working all the time. Visits are planned between meals.
How we handle grease trap cleaning in Edenbridge
A neglected grease trap stops doing its job. Further down the pipe, the grease cools and hardens and the result is blocked drains and bad smells. Regular cleaning keeps it working. If you have sinks that drain slowly and an interceptor full of grease and solids, we can help.
In a place like Edenbridge, kitchens often sit in older buildings with older drains. A blocked drain or a smelly grease trap is usually the first sign.
We have been trading since 2009, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we are fully insured.

How the visit works
Night work is normal for us. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so the site can open as normal afterwards. The visit itself takes less than an hour for many under-sink units. Your opening hours decide when we come to Edenbridge, not ours.
- A visit is booked around your service.
- The trap is opened up and checked.
- Built-up grease and food waste are taken out.
- The inside, baffles and outlet are cleaned.
- We close it up, check it drains and suggest when it needs cleaning again.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Clear the space around the work
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
Ask for a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

Fixed quotes for grease trap cleaning in Edenbridge
The survey tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- The scale of the work
- How many systems or sites are involved
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.
What to send for a quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- The site address and the type of premises

Your questions about grease trap cleaning in Edenbridge
Do you work at weekends in Edenbridge?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. That way a site in Edenbridge does not have to lose a day’s trading. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Can you get to a site in Edenbridge?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a small pub to a hospital. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
Are you accredited?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We are fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Photos often do the job, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
What is TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It is not law, but it’s the benchmark.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
The law calls them the responsible person. That is generally the employer or the person in control of the premises, and where several people have control, each can have duties. Your lease and fire risk assessment should make it clear.
What do you do with the waste?
The fat, oil, grease and solids we remove go with us. None of it goes back into the drains, of course.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
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.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.
Looking after it afterwards
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Mention any increase in cooking
- Keep access to the trap clear
- Wipe grease off pans before washing them
- Use strainers in the sink plugholes
Keep used oil out of the drains, and the trap will stay cleaner for longer. It’s the single easiest way to help.
A fixed cleaning interval means the trap never gets overfull. The interval is set to suit the trap and the kitchen.
What grease trap cleaning looks like in Edenbridge
Food Standards Agency data counts about 12 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 10 takeaways within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Edenbridge. Kitchens like these wash fat, oil and grease down the sink every day, and a grease trap is what stops it reaching the sewer. In Edenbridge, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Sevenoaks council. An inspection covers the structure of the kitchen as well as the food. A cleaning log that includes deep cleans and grease trap visits shows the work is planned.
Hall kitchens near Church of St Peter and St Paul or elsewhere in Edenbridge may have older sinks and drains, so a grease trap check is worth adding to a deep clean. If you run a care home or healthcare kitchen near Edenbridge (the nearest hospital is Tandridge Priory, about 4 miles north-west), a grease trap on a set schedule avoids a blocked drain mid-service. A summer deep clean suits schools such as Edenbridge Primary School, as the kitchen can be stripped back with no lunches to serve.
