- A leaking sink waste or trap connection
- A unit that cannot cope with the kitchen’s output
- Grease deep in the drains, which needs jetting by a drainage contractor

Grease trap cleaning in Mile Oak, done properly
Think of the grease trap as a filter for the kitchen’s drains. When it’s looked after, you hardly know it’s there but left too long, it causes trouble. Routine cleaning keeps it in good working order. Typical jobs include an under-sink unit that needs regular emptying and a regular cleaning plan for the grease trap, on restaurants and takeaways, inline grease traps and school and care home kitchens.
Somewhere as small as Mile Oak, 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.
Every visit ends with a written report and photos, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What affects the quote in Mile Oak
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- How easy every part is to reach
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- The times the site is available
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re unsure, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email for straight advice and a fixed quote.
Asking for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

Mile Oak: your questions answered
Can the work in Mile Oak be done at night or at weekends?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. Your customers, staff or residents in Mile Oak needn’t be disturbed. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Will you come out to Mile Oak?
Yes, Mile Oak is part of our area, however small the site. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Are you accredited?
We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Photos often do the job, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
How regularly does a grease trap need emptying?
It varies. The interval depends on how quickly your trap fills and we will advise on timing.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not usually. Booking the work out of hours means the site can carry on as normal. Bigger sites can be done in stages to keep things running.
What types of premises do you cover?
Commercial premises of every kind: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. Work is timed around how each site runs.
What happens if a grease trap is not cleaned?
An overfull trap lets grease into the drains. There it hardens on the pipe walls until they block. Keeping the trap clean stops that happening.

Leave it or put it right?
Grease that gets past the trap doesn’t disappear. It can build up in the drains and join fatbergs in the sewer. Keeping it in the trap, and emptying the trap, is the responsible thing to do. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
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.

Part by part
Grease interceptors
A larger unit takes more time to empty and clean and we allow for that.
School, care home and staff kitchens
Drains in care settings need to keep flowing. We fit visits around mealtimes.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist 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. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that’s where we come in.
Grease trap cleaning in Mile Oak: local notes
There are about 15 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 4 takeaways and sandwich shops within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Mile Oak, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. A grease trap in kitchens like these fills steadily and needs emptying before it overflows. Kitchens in Mile Oak get their food hygiene inspections from Tunbridge Wells council. They look at the cleanliness of the whole kitchen: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment. Photos and dates from each deep clean make a useful record.
Healthcare kitchens cook through the year, so a deep clean has to be fitted around meals; Tunbridge Wells Hospital, about 4.3 miles west, is the nearest hospital to Mile Oak. Where a church or community hall near St Andrew's Church, or anywhere in Mile Oak, has a kitchen used by volunteers, a periodic deep clean keeps it ready for the next event. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Mascalls School or anywhere near Mile Oak, the holidays are the time for a deep clean or a grease trap clean.

The process
There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, and the sign-off is a written report with pictures. The middle part takes longest, and that takes anything from under an hour to a few hours, depending on the trap. A few photos of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Mile Oak.
- We locate the trap and check how it’s fitted.
- Sinks feeding the trap are taken out of use.
- Grease and solids are removed from the trap.
- The chambers and baffles are cleaned.
- The trap is refitted, tested with water and the waste taken away.
