Grease trap cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Goose Green

Kitchens in Goose Green use us for grease trap cleaning, from small under-sink units to inline traps and interceptors. Visits are booked around your service so washing up isn’t interrupted. The work covers restaurants and takeaways, under-sink grease traps and pot wash sinks, and common reasons people get in touch are an inline trap or interceptor due for cleaning and a slow-draining kitchen sink.

Work in a small place like Goose Green starts with agreeing a date and access.

We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

For landlords and multi-site operators

Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.

We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Kent. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.

How the visit works

At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and it goes on the report too. All told, the work takes an hour or so for an under-sink trap, longer for a larger unit. For a village or hamlet like Goose Green, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.

  1. First, we find the trap and look at its connections.
  2. Sinks feeding the trap are taken out of use.
  3. Grease and solids are removed from the trap.
  4. We clean every part of the inside.
  5. The trap is refitted, tested with water and the waste taken away.

Before we arrive

  • Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
  • Clear loose items from the work area
  • Agree a time when the area can be out of use

Ask for a quote

Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your photos and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price, before any work starts.

Advice

How the job changes from site to site

Under-sink grease traps

We empty and clean under-sink traps without disrupting the rest of the kitchen, and check the lid and seals.

Grease interceptors

Interceptors take longer to clean and we plan the visit accordingly.

What staff can safely do

Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.

Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that is where we come in.

Between visits

Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:

  • Hot water only moves grease further down
  • Tell us if your menu or hours change
  • Scrape plates and pans into the bin before washing up
  • Make sure the trap can be reached easily

Once the trap is cleaned and refitted, the sinks can be used straight away. We run water through to check it drains before we go.

More cooking means more grease in the trap. Shortening the cleaning interval now keeps the drains flowing.

Common problems we fix in Goose Green

For a kitchen in Goose Green or anywhere else, the trap is out of sight and out of mind. Hidden under a sink or in a floor it’s often left until there’s a problem.

The symptoms we are asked about most include:

  • A kitchen drain that smells
  • Drains clogged with fat
  • An overdue grease trap
  • A regular cleaning plan for the grease trap

If you cater for weddings or events at a historic house in the area (Old Soar Manor is about 2.5 miles north-west), deep cleans can be fitted between bookings.

Questions to ask before booking

Goose Green kitchens: local notes

Food Standards Agency records include about 4 bars, pubs and nightclubs within about 1.5 miles of central Goose Green. Any of them serving food has a kitchen that collects grease out of sight and drains that need protecting. In Goose Green, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Tonbridge and Malling council. Walls, floors, ceilings and equipment are all part of what they look at. A record of each deep clean helps show the kitchen is kept in order. We cover Goose Green, about 27 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. Evening, overnight and weekend visits are all possible.

If you look after a hall kitchen near Church of St Dunstan or anywhere in Goose Green, a deep clean between busy seasons is easier than a scramble before a big event.

Common questions in Goose Green

Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Goose Green?

Food hygiene inspections in Goose Green are carried out by Tonbridge and Malling council. Keep the dates of your last deep clean and grease trap visit with your food safety records, ready if an officer asks.

Do you clean school kitchens in Goose Green in the summer holidays?

Yes, holiday work suits schools best. Food Standards Agency records list about 4 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Goose Green. Just call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your term dates and we will plan around them.

How much does grease trap cleaning cost?

The price depends on the trap and the schedule. Get in touch and we’ll give you a fixed quote so you know the cost up front.

What is TR19?

TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.

Do you work with multi-site operators?

Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and you will get one fixed quote.

Which sectors do you work in?

Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a small pub to a hospital. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.

Do we need to stop using the sinks while you work?

While the trap is being cleaned, nothing can drain into it. That’s why we time visits around service so the kitchen isn’t held up.

Will you tell us when the next visit is due?

Yes. The report recommends when the next visit should be, based on what we found and how the system is used.

How we price grease trap cleaning

You’ll get a fixed price before we start. It’s based on:

  • Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
  • The size of the system
  • How many systems or sites are involved
  • What state the system is in

One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You’ll have a fixed price before we start.

What to send for a quote

The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:

  • Any access panels or hatches you can see
  • Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
  • Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
  • The postcode and the type of business

For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We typically come back within one working day.
