Garlinge Green: your questions answered
Do you work at weekends in Garlinge Green?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. Your customers, staff or residents in Garlinge Green needn’t be disturbed. Just call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Who inspects food businesses in Garlinge Green?
That’s Canterbury City council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Garlinge Green. An officer may look behind equipment and at drains, so it pays to have the deep clean booked before those areas build up.
How often should a grease trap be cleaned?
That depends on the trap and the kitchen. A small trap fills more quickly than a large one and the busier the kitchen, the faster it fills. We will recommend a schedule once we’ve seen it.
What is TR19?
A BESA specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark.
Do you work in Garlinge Green?
Yes. Our area takes in London and the counties of South East England, and that includes Garlinge Green.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, every time. We diagnose before we treat: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it and the fixed quote is built on it.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not normally. Out-of-hours visits keep the disruption down. Larger jobs can be phased over several visits so parts stay in use.
About our grease trap cleaning in Garlinge Green
Once a trap is full, grease passes straight through. Fat sets in the pipes downstream and the result is blocked drains and bad smells. A trap that is cleaned regularly keeps grease where it belongs. Common call-outs are for an interceptor full of grease and solids and washing-up water that won’t drain away, across inline grease traps, pot wash sinks and kitchen waste pipes.
For a kitchen in or near Garlinge Green, the visit is planned ahead, around opening times and the journey.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

What we are called out for in Garlinge Green

Clients typically contact us when they notice one of these:

- An overdue grease trap
- A larger grease trap that needs emptying
- Sinks that drain slowly
A deep clean in Garlinge Green covers walls, floors, ceilings and equipment, done while the kitchen is shut.

- Broken pipework below ground
- Blockages further down the drainage network

If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll say what we think.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
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.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.

How it works
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes a short visit for a small trap and longer for an inline unit or interceptor. The timing of a visit to Garlinge Green is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- First, we find the trap and look at its connections.
- Sinks feeding the trap are taken out of use.
- Grease and solids are removed from the trap.
- The chambers and baffles are cleaned.
- The trap is refitted, tested with water and the waste taken away.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time

What happens if it’s left?
For a kitchen in Garlinge Green, a regular grease trap clean is a small, planned job. A blocked drain is an emergency and usually at the worst moment. In a place like Garlinge Green, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.

What the work involves, part by part
Grease interceptors
An interceptor works on the same principle as a smaller trap. Grease floats and solids sink.
Inline grease traps
An inline trap sits in the pipework between the kitchen and the drain. They’re larger than under-sink traps but still fill up.
