About our grease trap cleaning in Eynsford
Every trap is different. Under-sink units are small and fill quickly, while inline traps and interceptors hold more. We look at the trap, how much the kitchen uses it and how quickly it fills before suggesting how often it needs cleaning. The work covers inline grease traps, pot wash sinks and restaurants and takeaways, and common reasons people get in touch are a bad smell from the sinks or drains and an overdue grease trap.
Rural kitchens may drain to a septic tank or a private drain rather than straight into a public sewer, and fat getting past a grease trap can cause real trouble there.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with photos after every visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Signs you need grease trap cleaning in Eynsford
If a trap isn’t emptied, grease passes straight through. It goes on into the drain and the sewer beyond, where it can form blockages.
What we’re most often called out for:
- Sinks that drain slowly
- A larger grease trap that needs emptying
- Scheduled grease trap emptying
- Gurgling from the sink waste
Healthcare kitchens cook through the year, so a deep clean has to be fitted around meals; Darenth Park Hospital, about 5.1 miles north-east, is the nearest hospital to Eynsford.

What the work involves, part by part
Under-sink grease traps
Small grease traps sit under the sink. They fill quickly, so they need frequent emptying.
Baffles and outlets
We check the inlet, outlet and baffles at each clean so water flows freely.
The process
Your staff do not need to do much on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and the rest is down to us. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. The timing of a visit to Eynsford is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
Ask for a quote
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.
Advice
Why deal with it now?
Wherever the kitchen is in Eynsford, backed-up drains stop it working. Water won’t drain away, and dirty water can back up. Cleaning the grease trap on time helps prevent it. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. You will have a fixed price before we start.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
What grease trap cleaning can’t fix
Before you book, it helps to know what’s not included:
- A leaking sink waste or trap connection
- Broken pipework below ground
- Grease set hard in the drain run
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will say what we think.
Parts of the system we cover
- Kitchen waste pipes
- Inline grease traps
- School and care home kitchens
- Restaurants and takeaways
- Pot wash sinks
- Under-sink grease traps
Keeping the system healthy
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Fit sink strainers to catch food scraps
- Do not store things on top of the trap
- Don’t rely on hot water to clear grease
- Collect waste cooking oil separately
Anything we notice beyond the trap, like a slow drain downstream, is pointed out. That may need a drainage contractor to investigate.
More cooking means more grease in the trap. Booking cleans more often keeps the drains flowing.
FAQs for Eynsford
Can the work in Eynsford be done at night or at weekends?

Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Eynsford?
In Eynsford, it’s Sevenoaks council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Photos from a deep clean are a simple record of what was done and when.
What should go in our maintenance log?
Each report and certificate we give you, filed in the maintenance log, along with your own cleaning log. BESA advises that certificates record the date, location and technician.
Do you work in Eynsford?
Yes. Eynsford is part of the area we cover, within the South East and London area we cover.
What does TR19 mean?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping, and it takes a risk-based approach.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
We record them on the report, with pictures where possible, and we tell you what would make it reachable, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
Do I get a report after the visit?
Yes, on every job. It’s a dated, written report with photos, and TR19® Grease cleans come with a certificate through the BESCA VHE portal. File it with your fire safety records.
Eynsford kitchens: local notes
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 5 pubs and bars across Eynsford and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Wherever they cook, the kitchen and its drains need the same attention as a restaurant’s. Kitchens in Eynsford get their food hygiene inspections from Sevenoaks 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.
School kitchens, at schools like The Anthony Roper Primary School for example, typically have their deep cleans and grease trap work done while the canteen is closed. If you look after a hall kitchen near Church of Saint Martin or anywhere in Eynsford, a deep clean between busy seasons is easier than a scramble before a big event.
