Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
About our grease trap cleaning in Pittswood
Grease is behind most blocked kitchen drains. Further on, grease can build into fatbergs in the sewer. A grease trap that’s emptied and cleaned regularly keeps them out of the drains. The work covers restaurants and takeaways, inline grease traps and school and care home kitchens, and people most often call us about a small trap that fills too quickly and a kitchen drain that smells.
In a village or hamlet like Pittswood, 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.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

Signs you need grease trap cleaning in Pittswood
Hot washing-up water keeps grease liquid for a while. When it cools, the grease hardens in the pipework or the drain.
Most sites get in touch when they notice one of these:
- An under-sink trap that keeps filling up
- An overdue grease trap
- Foul odours from the grease trap
- Drains clogged with fat
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Tonbridge Cottage Hospital (about 3.7 miles south-west), cook for long hours, so deep cleans and grease trap work are planned around patients’ meals.
What to look for in a quote

- Whether VAT is included
Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things this work will not fix:
- Grease deep in the drains, which needs jetting by a drainage contractor
- Plumbing leaks around the sink
- A trap undersized for the amount of cooking

Questions from Pittswood
Can a school kitchen in Pittswood be done out of term time?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. Food Standards Agency records list about 8 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Pittswood. You can call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with the dates the site is empty.
Will you come out to Pittswood?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Pittswood is covered. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Will the grease trap clean disrupt the kitchen?
Only briefly, and only the sinks that feed the trap. Visits are booked outside your busiest hours where we can.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and you’ll get one fixed quote.
What’s the right interval for grease trap cleaning?
It varies. The interval depends on how quickly your trap fills, then suggest a schedule.
Which sectors do you work in?
Commercial premises of every kind: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. We fit the work around how the site operates.
Do you clean under-sink and inline grease traps?
Under-sink and inline grease traps, and larger interceptors. Each one is emptied, cleaned and checked in the same careful way.
Does the report say when we need you again?
Yes. How often depends on use and condition and the report sets out why.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.

What we do, step by step
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. Somewhere like Pittswood, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- We agree a time when the sinks aren’t needed.
- The trap is opened up and checked.
- We remove the grease layer and settled solids.
- The inside, baffles and outlet are cleaned.
- The trap is closed, tested and the next clean discussed.
Before we arrive
- Clear the space around the work
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
Ask for a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

Part by part
Baffles and outlets
The baffles hold back grease while water flows on. Grease clings to them so they’re cleaned every time.
Grease interceptors
Interceptors take longer to clean and we allow for that.
