Your questions about grease trap cleaning in Fosten Green
Do you work in villages like Fosten Green?
Yes. Fosten Green is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you work overnight in Fosten Green?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. That way a site in Fosten Green does not have to lose a day’s trading. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for anything that can’t wait until a planned visit. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
How much notice should we give?
For planned work, earlier is better, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not typically. The area we’re working in has to be out of use while we are there, so the visit goes in a quiet slot.
What is TR19?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We carry full insurance, and we have been trading since 2009.
What paperwork should we keep on file?
Each report and certificate we give you, kept together in your maintenance log, along with your own cleaning log. BESA advises that certificates record the date, location and technician.
What we’re called out for in Fosten Green
If a trap is not emptied, grease passes straight through. It then builds up in the drains and on towards the sewer, where it can form blockages.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Gurgling from the sink waste
- A larger grease trap that needs emptying
- An overdue grease trap
- An under-sink unit that needs regular emptying
If you look after a hall kitchen near St Margaret's Church or anywhere in Fosten Green, a deep clean between busy seasons is easier than a scramble before a big event.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Every visit ends with a dated report and pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
What the work involves, part by part
Inline grease traps
Several sinks may drain into one inline trap. That means more grease, so regular cleaning matters.
Under-sink grease traps
Under-sink traps are compact units fitted below the kitchen sink. Their small size means they fill fast and need regular cleaning.

What we do, step by step
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 an hour or two in most kitchens, depending on the size and condition of the trap. If you can send photos, we can arrive in Fosten Green knowing what to expect.
- We locate the trap and check how it’s fitted.
- We make sure nothing drains into the trap.
- We empty out the fat, oil, grease and solids.
- We clean every part of the inside.
- The trap is refitted, tested with water and the waste taken away.
How to prepare
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the system

Keeping the system healthy
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Collect waste cooking oil separately
- Don’t rely on hot water to clear grease
- Wipe grease off pans before washing them
- Do not wait for a blockage to book a clean
Once the trap is cleaned and refitted, the sinks can be used right away. Water is run through to check everything flows before we go.
If the kitchen has got busier, the trap fills faster. Shortening the cleaning interval now stops it overflowing.
What grease trap cleaning looks like in Fosten Green
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 3 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens in and around Fosten Green, up to about a mile and a half out. Each of them sends fat, oil and grease towards the drain, which is why grease traps need regular emptying. We cover Fosten Green, about 42 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours. In Fosten Green, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Ashford council. Grease behind equipment or on a ceiling is the kind of thing an inspection can note. Photos and dates from each deep clean make a useful record.
If you run a care home or healthcare kitchen near Fosten Green (the nearest hospital is Benenden Hospital, about 0.9 miles south), a grease trap on a set schedule avoids a blocked drain mid-service.

What staff can safely do
If your staff spot something 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.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
