About our grease trap cleaning in Haine
A neglected grease trap stops doing its job. Fat sets in the pipes downstream and the result is blocked drains and bad smells. Regular cleaning keeps it working. Typical jobs include an under-sink unit that needs regular emptying and a full, neglected grease trap, on inline grease traps, under-sink grease traps and school and care home kitchens.
In a village or hamlet like Haine, commercial kitchens are few, perhaps a pub, a school or a care home. Wherever there is one, it needs its grease trap and hard-to-reach areas kept clean.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

Haine: your questions answered
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Haine?
In Haine, it’s Thanet council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Inspection results feed into the food hygiene rating published by the Food Standards Agency.
Do you cover smaller places like Haine?
Yes. Haine is within the area we cover across London and the South East. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for anything that can’t wait until a planned visit. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
What should go in our maintenance log?
Everything that shows the system is looked after: reports, certificates, photos and your own cleaning or check logs. One maintenance log per site keeps it simple.
Will I get paperwork for my records?
Yes, always. The report is dated and includes photos, and TR19® Grease cleans come with a certificate through the BESCA VHE portal. Keep it in your maintenance log.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
We record them on the report, with pictures where possible, and we explain what access is needed, for example new access panels.
How much notice should we give?
Earlier is better, particularly for night and weekend visits. Quotes usually come back within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
What accreditations do you have?
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.
What else we do in Haine
For landlords and multi-site operators
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Haine and across Kent. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
Keeping the system healthy
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Scrape plates and pans into the bin before washing up
- Keep the grease trap on a regular cleaning schedule
- Tell us if your menu or hours change
- Don’t store things on top of the trap
You will get our view on how often the trap needs cleaning. It’s based on how full it was and how much the kitchen cooks.
A trap that is left too long stops catching grease. Regular emptying keeps it working and avoids a blockage.
What we are called out for in Haine
The more a kitchen cooks and washes up, the quicker the trap fills. A trap that suited a quieter kitchen can struggle when cooking increases.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Grease setting in the kitchen pipework
- Foul odours from the grease trap
- Gurgling drains in the kitchen
- A small trap that fills too quickly
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Dame Janet Primary Academy or anywhere near Haine, the holidays are the time for a deep clean or a grease trap clean.

The process
Your staff don’t need to do much on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. The timing of a visit to Haine is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- We find the trap and check how it’s connected.
- We ask for the sinks that drain into the trap not to be used.
- We take out the layer of fat, oil and grease and any solids.
- Every part of the trap is scraped and cleaned, including the baffles.
- Once it’s refitted, water is run through to check it drains, and we take the waste with us.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system

Advice
Leave it or put it right?
A dirty grease trap smells. Decomposing waste in the trap smells bad and the smell carries. A clean trap takes the source away. Rural sites can’t always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You will have a fixed price before we start.

Different parts, different methods
Restaurant and takeaway kitchens
Busy kitchens with lots of washing-up fill traps fast. A shorter cleaning interval typically suits them.
Under-sink grease traps
Under-sink units are easy to forget. A full one shows itself with a slow, smelly sink.
Haine kitchens: local notes
There are about 5 food manufacturers and packers in and around Haine, up to about a mile and a half out, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. A production site’s wash-down water can carry plenty of fat, which a trap or interceptor has to catch. Environmental health officers from Thanet council inspect food businesses in Haine. Grease behind equipment or on a ceiling is the kind of thing an inspection can note. A record of each deep clean helps show the kitchen is kept in order.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother Hospital (about 1.6 miles north), cook for long hours, so deep cleans and grease trap work are planned around patients’ meals. If you run a kitchen in an older building near Haine, such as a historic house like Quex Park (about 3 miles west), older drains make a working grease trap all the more important.

When it’s something else
