Grease trap cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Mundy Bois
Kitchens in Mundy Bois use us for grease trap cleaning, whether it’s an under-sink unit or a larger inline trap. We come when the sinks aren’t needed, so the kitchen keeps running. We’re often asked to deal with a grease trap that hasn’t been emptied in a long time and sinks that drain slowly, across pot wash sinks, inline grease traps and under-sink grease traps.
In a village or hamlet like Mundy Bois, 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 have 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’re fully insured.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we will come back with a fixed quote.
What the work involves, part by part
Inline grease traps
Several sinks may drain into one inline trap. More waste means faster filling.
Grease interceptors
Interceptors take longer to clean and we plan the visit accordingly.
Your questions about grease trap cleaning in Mundy Bois
Which council inspects kitchens in Mundy Bois?
In Mundy Bois, it’s Ashford council that carries out food hygiene inspections. An officer may look behind equipment and at drains, so it pays to have the deep clean booked before those areas build up.
Can the work in Mundy Bois be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The site is handed back ready to open. When you ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, mention when the site is quiet.
What’s the right interval for grease trap cleaning?
It depends on the size of the trap and how busy the kitchen is. Small under-sink units fill faster than larger traps and the busier the kitchen, the faster it fills. We will recommend a schedule once we’ve seen it.
Where does the grease from the trap go?
We remove all the waste we take out. None of it goes back into the drains at any point.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and we’ll quote them together.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. The law sets the duty, and TR19® is the recognised benchmark for meeting it. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and many insurers can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of cleaning.
What is TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Photos often do the job, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
Aftercare tips
So the system stays in good health:
- Use strainers in the sink plugholes
- Hot water only moves grease further down
- Wipe grease off pans before washing them
- Act on gurgling or smelly drains
Between cleans, keep food scraps out of the sink. Use strainers in the sink plugholes so less solid waste gets through.
If the sinks are slow or smelly, the trap may be full. Acting at this stage usually prevents a blockage down the line.
What a clean won’t put right
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what grease trap cleaning won’t do:
- Blockages in the public sewer beyond the property
- A leaking sink waste or trap connection
- Drains that need jetting rather than trap cleaning
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What the work covers
- Pot wash sinks
- School and care home kitchens
- Restaurants and takeaways
- Under-sink grease traps
- Inline grease traps
- Kitchen waste pipes
What we do, step by step
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, isolate whatever needs isolating, carry out the grease trap cleaning, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself takes anything from under an hour to a few hours, depending on the trap. For a village or hamlet like Mundy Bois, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet

Advice
Signs you need grease trap cleaning in Mundy Bois
For a kitchen in Mundy Bois or anywhere else, the trap is out of sight and out of mind. Tucked away under the sink or below the floor it’s often left until there’s a problem.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- An under-sink trap that keeps filling up
- Gurgling drains in the kitchen
- An overdue grease trap
- A slow-draining kitchen sink
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St James or elsewhere in Mundy Bois, a deep clean and an emptied grease trap before a busy season of events are worth booking.
Questions to ask before booking
- When the next visit should be, and why
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- What hours they’ll be on site
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them

What grease trap cleaning looks like in Mundy Bois
Food hygiene inspections in Mundy Bois are the job of Ashford council’s environmental health team. 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. At about 42 miles from central London, Mundy Bois sits well inside the area we cover. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours.
Historic houses such as Godinton House (about 5 miles east) are part of the area around Mundy Bois, and if you run event catering at a venue like that, a deep clean between seasons helps. School kitchens, at schools like Egerton Church of England Primary School for example, normally have their deep cleans and grease trap work done while the canteen is closed.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
