Grease trap cleaning in Langton Green, done properly
For kitchens across Langton Green, grease trap cleaning fits easily around service. We empty, clean and check the trap, and the waste is taken away. It works on its own or with a deep clean or extract clean. If you’re dealing with a larger grease trap that needs emptying and sinks that drain slowly, we can put it right.
In a smaller place like Langton Green, commercial kitchens are more likely to be a pub, a café, a takeaway or a school or care home kitchen. Smaller kitchens still collect grease behind equipment and in the drains.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That’s why every job is written up in a report with pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

How we price grease trap cleaning
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
We do not list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us, and we will explain what it covers.
Helping us quote
You do not need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your pictures and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before any work starts.
Multi-site and managed buildings
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.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.

Common questions in Langton Green
Which council inspects kitchens in Langton Green?
That is Tunbridge Wells council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Langton Green. 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.
Do you work in school kitchens around Langton Green out of term?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. Around Langton Green, the Food Standards Agency lists about 13 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
How far ahead should we book?
For planned work, earlier is better, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
Which grease traps does the service cover?
We clean all the common types. If you are not sure what you have, send us a photo when you call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
What do you do to protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before work begins, and anything we remove is contained. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
Can you clear our blocked drains as well?
That depends on the cause. If the trap is full, cleaning it often helps, but blockages further along need a drainage contractor.
Which accreditations do you hold?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We have been trading since 2009 and we’re fully insured.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site across London and the South East, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
Why act early in Langton Green
Pouring hot water or chemicals down a slow drain is a common quick fix. That only moves the grease further down the pipe to set somewhere harder to reach. The lasting fix starts with the trap. Booking ahead lets us plan the trip to Langton Green at a time that suits you.
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.

- Each visit written up, with pictures

Keeping the system healthy
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Do not rely on hot water to clear grease
- Let us know if the kitchen gets busier
- Don’t wait for a blockage to book a clean
- Wipe grease off pans before washing them
Keep used oil out of the drains, and the trap will stay cleaner for longer. It makes a real difference.
If the kitchen has got busier, the trap fills faster. Shortening the cleaning interval now keeps the drains flowing.
