Grease trap cleaning in Sepham Heath, done properly
A grease trap is the kitchen drain’s first line of protection. Kept clean, it does its job quietly but left too long, it causes trouble. A regular clean keeps it healthy. If you have foul odours from the grease trap and a blocked kitchen drain caused by grease, we can help, from inline grease traps, under-sink grease traps and restaurants and takeaways onwards.
For a kitchen in or near Sepham Heath, the visit is planned ahead, around opening times and the journey.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Questions from Sepham Heath
Is Sepham Heath within the area you cover?
Yes. Sepham Heath is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can a school kitchen in Sepham Heath be done out of term time?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. Around Sepham Heath, the Food Standards Agency lists about 3 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. You can call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with the dates the site is empty.
Will you tell us when the next visit is due?
Yes. How often depends on use and condition, and we explain the reasoning on the report.
Which accreditations do you hold?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
What is TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping, and it takes a risk-based approach.
Will cleaning the grease trap fix a blocked drain?
Our service covers the grease trap itself. If the drain beyond the trap is blocked or damaged, we’ll tell you and suggest a drainage contractor.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line, for problems that can’t wait. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
Do you clean under-sink and inline grease traps?
We clean under-sink traps, inline traps and interceptors. Let us know what’s fitted and we’ll plan around it.
What your team can do, and what needs us
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we will send a fixed quote.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.

When something else is needed
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- Grease deep in the drains, which needs jetting by a drainage contractor
- Blockages further down the drainage network
- A unit that can’t cope with the kitchen’s output
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will tell you honestly before booking.

When to call us in Sepham Heath
Fats, oils and grease from cooking and washing up go down the sink. In the trap, they cool and separate, and the layer gets thicker day by day.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- An interceptor full of grease and solids
- An overdue grease trap
- An under-sink unit that needs regular emptying
- Grease setting in the kitchen pipework
Healthcare kitchens cook through the year, so a deep clean has to be fitted around meals; Sevenoaks Hospital, about 3.1 miles south-east, is the nearest hospital to Sepham Heath.

Sepham Heath kitchens: local notes
The Food Standards Agency lists about 3 pubs, bars and clubs as registered food businesses within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Sepham Heath. Wherever food is prepared there, a periodic deep clean and a clear grease trap keep things in order. Environmental health officers from Sevenoaks council inspect food businesses in Sepham Heath. Walls, floors, ceilings and equipment are all part of what they look at. Photos and dates from each deep clean make a useful record.

If you run a kitchen in an older building near Sepham Heath, such as a historic house like Lullingstone Castle (about 3.1 miles north-east), older drains make a working grease trap all the more important.

Keeping the system healthy
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep access to the trap clear
- Avoid pouring boiling water down to shift grease
- Fit sink strainers to catch food scraps
- Let us know if the kitchen gets busier
Once the trap is cleaned and refitted, the sinks can be used straight away. We run water through to check it drains before we go.
A fixed cleaning interval means the trap never gets overfull. We agree the timing with you.
How the visit works
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, make the system safe, do the work, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself takes a short visit for a small trap and longer for an inline unit or interceptor. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Sepham Heath 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.
- The chambers and baffles are cleaned.
- We refit it, run water through and remove the waste.
How to prepare
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Find the previous report, if there is one
