Sinkhurst Green: your questions answered
Do you work at weekends in Sinkhurst Green?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. It means the site in Sinkhurst Green keeps running as normal. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Which council inspects kitchens in Sinkhurst Green?
Kitchens in Sinkhurst Green are inspected by Tunbridge Wells council’s environmental health officers. How often a business is inspected depends on the council’s risk rating for it, so the kitchen needs to be ready at any time.
Will cleaning the grease trap fix a blocked drain?
It depends where the blockage is. A full trap is a common cause, and cleaning it can help, but blockages further along need a drainage contractor.
How much does grease trap cleaning cost?
Trap size, type, condition and access all affect the price. Tell us about the trap and we will send you a fixed quote.
How often should a grease trap be cleaned?
That depends on the trap and the kitchen. Small under-sink units fill faster than larger traps and the busier the kitchen, the faster it fills. We’ll recommend a schedule once we’ve seen it.
Why does a grease trap need regular cleaning?
Grease and food waste build up until the trap stops working. Slow drains, bad smells and blockages follow.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
Where does the grease from the trap go?
We take the grease and solids away with us. You are not left with anything to dispose of when we go.

Commercial kitchens in Sinkhurst Green
Environmental health officers from Tunbridge Wells council inspect food businesses in Sinkhurst Green. Walls, floors, ceilings and equipment are all part of what they look at. A record of each deep clean helps show the kitchen is kept in order. Sinkhurst Green, about 38 miles from central London, is within our usual area. Visits are booked around your hours, evenings and weekends included.
Healthcare kitchens cook through the year, so a deep clean has to be fitted around meals; Benenden Hospital, about 4.6 miles south, is the nearest hospital to Sinkhurst Green. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Mary or elsewhere in Sinkhurst Green, a deep clean and an emptied grease trap before a busy season of events are worth booking.

What happens if it’s left?
A dirty grease trap smells. Rotting food and grease give off foul odours that can reach the kitchen and beyond. A clean trap takes the source away. Somewhere as small as Sinkhurst Green, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before work begins.

How the job changes from site to site
Under-sink grease traps
We empty and clean under-sink traps without disrupting the rest of the kitchen and check the seal on the lid.
Restaurant and takeaway kitchens
A blocked drain in a busy kitchen can stop service. Regular trap cleaning helps prevent it.
When to call us in Sinkhurst Green
Hot washing-up water keeps grease liquid for a while. When it cools, the grease hardens, often in the trap or the pipe beyond.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Drains that gurgle and bubble
- A full, neglected grease trap
- A routine grease trap service
- An under-sink unit that needs regular emptying
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Frittenden Church of England Primary School or anywhere near Sinkhurst Green, the holidays are the time for a deep clean or a grease trap clean.

What affects the cost of grease trap cleaning
We don’t publish a price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:
- What state the system is in
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Travel, parking and unloading
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You’ll have a fixed price before work begins.
What to send for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To get going, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
What happens on the day
Everything the job needs comes with us, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. On site, the work takes an hour or so for an under-sink trap, longer for a larger unit. Seeing the system in pictures first means the trip to Sinkhurst Green can be planned properly.
- We agree a time when the sinks are not needed.
- The trap is opened up and checked.
- Built-up grease and food waste are taken out.
- 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
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
Ask for a quote
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and photos, and we typically reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.

Between visits
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Make sure the trap can be reached easily
- Tell us when sinks start draining slowly
- Use strainers in the sink plugholes
- Hot water only moves grease further down
The sinks are ready to use as soon as we have finished. We run water through to check it drains before we go.
If the sinks are slow or smelly, the trap may be full. Getting it cleaned now can stop a full blockage later.
