Romney Street: your questions answered
Will you come out to Romney Street?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Romney Street included. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Do you clean school kitchens in Romney Street in the summer holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. With about 3 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Romney Street, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. You can ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the dates the site is empty.
What paperwork should we keep on file?
Everything that shows the system is looked after: reports, certificates, photos and your own cleaning or check logs. A single log for each site works best.
How much notice do you need?
Book as early as you can for planned work, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
What’s TR19?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we’ll propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
What’s the right interval for grease trap cleaning?
It varies with the trap and the kitchen. If the sinks start to drain slowly between cleans, it’s too long, and we can shorten it.
Do you recommend a next date?
Yes. Every report includes a recommended date for the next visit, based on use and what we found.
Grease trap cleaning in Romney Street, done properly
A neglected grease trap stops doing its job. Further down the pipe, the grease cools and hardens and the result is blocked drains and bad smells. A trap that’s cleaned regularly keeps grease where it belongs. Typical jobs include a full, neglected grease trap and a bad smell from the sinks or drains, across restaurants and takeaways, kitchen waste pipes and under-sink grease traps.
In a village or hamlet like Romney Street, commercial kitchens are few, perhaps a pub, a school or a care home. Each still needs the occasional deep clean and its grease trap kept clear.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That’s why every job is written up in a report with photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Romney Street
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
How the job changes from site to site
Restaurant and takeaway kitchens
Kitchens that fry and wash up all day fill their traps quickly. They often need the most frequent cleaning.
Grease interceptors
Interceptors take longer to clean and we allow for that.

What we’re called out for in Romney Street
A full trap can’t hold any more grease. It goes on into the drain and the sewer beyond, where it can form blockages.
What we are most often called out for:
- Washing-up water that will not drain away
- Grease setting in the kitchen pipework
- A larger grease trap that needs emptying
- A grease trap that hasn’t been emptied in a long time
If you run a care home or healthcare kitchen near Romney Street (the nearest hospital is Sevenoaks Hospital, about 3.3 miles south-west), a grease trap on a set schedule avoids a blocked drain mid-service.

What happens on the day
Protection comes first: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. It takes an hour or so for an under-sink trap, longer for a larger unit, and we clear up before we go. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Romney Street run smoothly.
- First, we find the trap and look at its connections.
- Sinks feeding the trap are taken out of use.
- We empty out the fat, oil, grease and solids.
- We clean every part of the inside.
- The trap is refitted, tested with water and the waste taken away.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Clear the space around the work
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend

Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your pictures and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price, before we start.

What affects the quote in Romney Street
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- What state the system is in
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we’ll price it together.
Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it

There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To start, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.

Between visits
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Tell us if your menu or hours change
- Never pour used oil down the sink
- Make sure the trap can be reached easily
- Book trap cleans at a set interval
If we spot problems beyond the trap, such as a drain that still runs slowly, we will tell you. That may need a drainage contractor to investigate.
Setting regular cleans takes the guesswork out. The interval is set to suit the trap and the kitchen.
Why deal with it now?
A smelly, overflowing trap attracts pests. A clean trap is less of an attraction as part of a clean kitchen. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
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 not sure what’s needed, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us for straight advice and a fixed quote.
