Honey Hill: your questions answered
Can school kitchens in Honey Hill be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. There are about 2 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Honey Hill. Tell us your holiday dates and we will book the visit for when the site is empty.
Will you come out to Honey Hill?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Honey Hill is covered. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, always. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
What do you do with what you remove?
We take it away at the end of the visit. While we work, it’s kept contained so the area stays clean.
Does the report say when we need you again?
Yes. We put a recommended next date on the report. For kitchen extracts, BESA’s minimum intervals run from every 3 months for heavy use to every 12 months for light use, and fire dampers need testing at least once a year.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Commercial premises of every kind: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. Work is timed around how each site runs.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7, for problems that can’t wait. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
How far ahead should we book?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
Grease trap cleaning in Honey Hill, done properly
Every trap is different. Under-sink traps are compact and need frequent attention, while inline traps and interceptors hold more. We assess the trap and how fast it fills and suggest an interval that suits. If you have gurgling drains in the kitchen and a slow-draining kitchen sink, we can help, from under-sink grease traps, kitchen waste pipes and pot wash sinks onwards.
Somewhere as small as Honey Hill, the kitchens that need a deep clean are usually a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still needs the occasional deep clean and its grease trap kept clear.
We’ve been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Honey Hill
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We’re happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Honey Hill and across Kent. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Aftercare tips
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Do not store things on top of the trap
- Scrape plates and pans into the bin before washing up
- Tell us when sinks start draining slowly
- Mention any increase in cooking
We will suggest when the trap should be cleaned again. That depends on how quickly it filled and how busy the kitchen is.
Grease that gets past the trap sets in the drains. Clearing it then is a bigger job so prevention is the easier route.
What happens if it’s left?
Wherever the kitchen is in Honey Hill, backed-up drains stop it working. Water will not drain away, and dirty water can back up. Cleaning the grease trap on time helps prevent it. It’s simpler to plan the work at Honey Hill now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.

A grease trap in kitchens like these fills steadily and needs emptying before it overflows. Environmental health officers from Canterbury City council inspect food businesses in Honey Hill.

What we do, step by step
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. 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 two in most kitchens, depending on the size and condition of the trap. Somewhere as small as Honey Hill, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- We start by finding the trap and checking its inlet and outlet.
- Nothing drains into the trap while it’s open.
- The trap is emptied of grease and food waste.
- We clean the chambers, baffles and connections.
- The trap is reassembled, checked for leaks and the waste taken away.

Advice
Part by part
School, care home and staff kitchens
Kitchens with fixed mealtimes build up grease more predictably. A regular interval suits them well.
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.
