Grease trap cleaning in Farleigh Green, Kent
Grease trap cleaning for Farleigh Green, from a team that has been trading since 2009. Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus a 24/7 emergency line.

Leave it or put it right?

The cost depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.

Grease trap cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Farleigh Green
Fats, oils and grease are the main cause of blocked kitchen drains. Down the line, they can add to fatbergs in the sewer. A grease trap that’s emptied and cleaned regularly holds them back. We’re often asked to deal with an under-sink unit that needs regular emptying and an inline trap or interceptor due for cleaning, on under-sink grease traps, restaurants and takeaways and school and care home kitchens.
In rural areas, a kitchen may drain to a private system rather than a public sewer, and fat getting past a grease trap can cause real trouble there.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

Signs you need grease trap cleaning in Farleigh Green
The more a kitchen cooks and washes up, the quicker the trap fills. Traps sized for lighter use can struggle when cooking increases.
The symptoms we’re asked about most are:
- Drains clogged with fat
- An under-sink unit that needs regular emptying
- Foul odours from the grease trap
- Gurgling drains in the kitchen
For schools such as East Farleigh Primary School, deep cleans and grease trap work are normally booked for the holidays.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that’s where we come in.
Different parts, different methods
Baffles and outlets
The baffles hold back grease while water flows on. Grease clings to them, so we clean them.
Inline grease traps
Inline traps are fitted into the drain line. They hold more than under-sink units but still need regular emptying.
When it’s something else
We won’t sell you work that does not address the problem, so here are the limits:
- Drains that need jetting rather than trap cleaning
- A unit that can’t cope with the kitchen’s output
- Drains that are cracked or have collapsed
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will tell you honestly.

Farleigh Green questions
Which environmental health team covers Farleigh Green?
That’s Maidstone council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Farleigh Green. Keep the dates of your last deep clean and grease trap visit with your food safety records, ready if an officer asks.
Do you work overnight in Farleigh Green?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Farleigh Green needn’t be disturbed. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No. The law sets the duty, and TR19® is the recognised benchmark for meeting it. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and many insurers can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of cleaning.
Do you clean under-sink and inline grease traps?
Under-sink units, inline traps and interceptors are all covered. Tell us what you have and we will plan around it.
What’s TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked, and it takes a risk-based approach.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a single café to a large school. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
What problems does a full grease trap cause?
Grease escapes into the drains when the trap is full. There it hardens on the pipe walls and causes blockages. Keeping the trap clean stops that happening.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for anything that cannot wait until a planned visit. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.

What grease trap cleaning looks like in Farleigh Green
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 10 pubs and bars in and around Farleigh Green, up to about a mile and a half out. Where they run a kitchen, it needs the same deep cleaning and grease trap care as any restaurant. We cover Farleigh Green, about 30 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. Evening, overnight and weekend visits are all possible. Kitchens in Farleigh Green get their food hygiene inspections from Maidstone council. Grease behind equipment or on a ceiling is the kind of thing an inspection can note. Keeping a record of deep cleans and grease trap visits helps at inspection time.
Historic houses such as Stoneacre (about 4.9 miles east) are part of the area around Farleigh Green, and if you run event catering at a venue like that, a deep clean between seasons helps. Hall kitchens near All Saints Church or elsewhere in Farleigh Green may have older sinks and drains, so a grease trap check is worth adding to a deep clean.
