What grease trap cleaning looks like in Farthing Green
Environmental health officers from Maidstone council inspect food businesses in Farthing Green. 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. At about 37 miles from central London, Farthing Green sits well inside the area we cover. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours.
A deep clean in Farthing Green covers walls, floors, ceilings and equipment, done while the kitchen is shut.

Grease trap cleaning in Farthing Green, done properly
Kitchens in Farthing Green use us for grease trap cleaning, whether it’s an under-sink unit or a larger inline trap. Visits are booked around your service so washing up isn’t interrupted. If you are dealing with an under-sink unit that needs regular emptying and drains clogged with fat, we can help, from under-sink grease traps, restaurants and takeaways and kitchen waste pipes onwards.
In a village or hamlet like Farthing Green, 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.
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.

What else we do in Farthing Green
What staff can safely do
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
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. That’s our job.
How we price grease trap cleaning
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- The number of sites or systems
- How easy every part is to reach
- The scale of the work
- Parking and loading at the site
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we’ll price it together.
Asking for a quote
Many jobs can be priced from photos and some basics. Useful things to send:
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
To help us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, pictures of the system and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
How the job changes from site to site
Baffles and outlets
We check the inlet, outlet and baffles at each clean so water flows freely.
School, care home and staff kitchens
Care home and hospital kitchens need their drains working all the time. We fit visits around mealtimes.
When it’s something else
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so here are the limits:
- Leaking pipework or sink wastes, which need a plumber
- Grease deep in the drains, which needs jetting by a drainage contractor
- A unit that can’t cope with the kitchen’s output
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Parts of the system we cover
- Under-sink grease traps
- Restaurants and takeaways
- Pot wash sinks
- Kitchen waste pipes
- Inline grease traps
- School and care home kitchens
Questions from Farthing Green
Do you cover smaller places like Farthing Green?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Do you work at weekends in Farthing Green?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The work in Farthing Green can fit around your hours. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No. TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. The legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005: the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19® is the recognised way to show grease is under control.
What does a grease trap clean cost?
Trap size, type, condition and access all affect the price. Send us details or a photo and we will come back with a fixed price.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and you’ll get one fixed quote.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, plus food production and leisure sites.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
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 testing. It’s booked when the sinks are not needed.
Aftercare tips
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Do not wait for a blockage to book a clean
- Collect waste cooking oil separately
- Tell us when sinks start draining slowly
- Do not store things on top of the trap
We will suggest when the trap should be cleaned again. That depends on how quickly it filled and how much the kitchen cooks.
Setting regular cleans takes the guesswork out. The interval is set to suit the trap and the kitchen.
What we are called out for in Farthing Green
Waste cooking oil poured down the sink fills a grease trap far faster than washing-up. Even small amounts add up.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Gurgling from the sink waste
- Grease setting in the kitchen pipework
- A grease trap that hasn’t been emptied in a long time
- An interceptor full of grease and solids
Stoneacre, about 4.4 miles north, is one of the historic houses around Farthing Green; event kitchens at places like that work in bursts, so a deep clean after a busy season helps.
What your quote should include
- Whether they recommend a next date
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- If they look at the system before pricing
How it works
The visit has three parts: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, and the sign-off is a written report with pictures. The middle part takes longest, and that takes less than an hour for many under-sink units. Somewhere like Farthing Green, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- We find the trap and check how it’s connected.
- The sinks feeding the trap are kept out of use while we work.
- We take out the layer of fat, oil and grease and any solids.
- The inside, baffles and pipe connections are cleaned.
- Once it’s refitted, water is run through to check it drains, and we take the waste with us.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
