Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so each one has its own record.
About our grease trap cleaning in Hareplain
Every trap is different. Under-sink units are small and fill quickly, while inline traps and interceptors hold more. We look at the trap, how much the kitchen uses it and how quickly it fills and suggest an interval that suits. The work covers inline grease traps, under-sink grease traps and school and care home kitchens, and people most often call us about a slow-draining kitchen sink and grease setting in the kitchen pipework.
In rural areas, a kitchen may drain to a private system rather than a public sewer, and fat getting past a grease trap can cause real trouble there.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That’s why every job is written up in a report with photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Your questions about grease trap cleaning in Hareplain
Will you come out to Hareplain?
Yes. Hareplain 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.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Hareplain?
In Hareplain, it’s Tunbridge Wells council that carries out food hygiene inspections. How often a business is inspected depends on the council’s risk rating for it, so the kitchen needs to be ready at any time.
What does a grease trap clean cost?
No two traps are quite the same, so we quote once we know what you have. You get a fixed quote, usually within one working day.
Will cleaning the grease trap fix a blocked drain?
That depends on the cause. A full trap is a common cause, and cleaning it can help, but blockages further along need a drainage contractor.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and we will quote them together.
What do you do to protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. We keep the work contained and clean down when we finish.
How much notice do you need?
Earlier is better, particularly for night and weekend visits. Quotes normally come back within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
What does TR19 mean?
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.
Part by part
Restaurant and takeaway kitchens
Kitchens that fry and wash up all day fill their traps quickly. A shorter cleaning interval typically suits them.
Inline grease traps
Inline traps are fitted into the drain line. They hold more than under-sink units but still need regular emptying.
Why act early in Hareplain
For a kitchen in Hareplain, a regular grease trap clean is a small, planned job. Waiting for a blockage turns it into an urgent problem, often at a busy time. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Hareplain rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.
Why book with us
- Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus 24/7 emergency callout
- Survey first, then a fixed quote
- Full insurance on every job
- Ventilation hygiene specialists since 2009
How the visit works
We are used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so the site can open as normal afterwards. On site, the work takes a short visit for a small trap and longer for an inline unit or interceptor. Seeing the system in photos first means the trip to Hareplain can be planned properly.
- We agree a time when the sinks aren’t needed.
- We open the trap and look at its condition.
- We remove the grease layer and settled solids.
- The inside, baffles and outlet are cleaned.
- We close it up, check it drains and suggest when it needs cleaning again.
Before we arrive
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions

Advice
Fixed quotes for grease trap cleaning in Hareplain
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- What state the system is in
- How many systems or sites are involved
- How big the system is
- Travel, parking and unloading
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you’ll get one fixed quote.
Asking for a quote
We can often survey from pictures. Try to include:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
We don’t publish a price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, and then give you a fixed quote. To start, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Looking after it afterwards
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Get food waste into the bin, not the sink
- Fit sink strainers to catch food scraps
- Tell us if your menu or hours change
- 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.
If the kitchen has got busier, the trap fills faster. Shortening the cleaning interval now keeps the drains flowing.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that is where we come in.
