How we handle grease trap cleaning in Statenborough
Think of the grease trap as a filter for the kitchen’s drains. When it’s looked after, you hardly know it’s there but left too long, it causes trouble. Routine cleaning keeps it in good working order. Typical jobs include a bad smell from the sinks or drains and a small trap that fills too quickly, across restaurants and takeaways, kitchen waste pipes and pot wash sinks.
For a kitchen in or near Statenborough, the visit is planned ahead, around opening times and the journey.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Grease interceptors
An interceptor works on the same principle as a smaller trap. Grease floats and solids sink.
Questions from Statenborough
Can you get to a site in Statenborough?
Yes. Statenborough is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Do you work at weekends in Statenborough?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. Your customers, staff or residents in Statenborough needn’t be disturbed. When you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, mention when the site is quiet.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not typically. Out-of-hours visits keep the disruption down. Larger jobs can be phased over several visits so parts stay in use.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
What problems does a full grease trap cause?
An overfull trap stops separating grease. The result is slow drains, foul odours and eventually a blockage.
What’s TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It is not law, but it’s the benchmark.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
How far ahead should we book?
The more notice, the better, especially for out-of-hours work. Quotes typically come back within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
What we do, step by step
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and it goes on the report too. All told, the work takes an hour or two in most kitchens, depending on the size and condition of the trap. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Statenborough run smoothly.
- We locate the trap and check how it’s fitted.
- Sinks feeding the trap are taken out of use.
- We empty out the fat, oil, grease and solids.
- The chambers and baffles are cleaned.
- The trap is refitted, tested with water and the waste taken away.
Getting ready for the visit
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Clear loose items from the work area

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Statenborough
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.

Keeping the system healthy
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Don’t store things on top of the trap
- Wipe grease off pans before washing them
- Act on gurgling or smelly drains
- Let us know if the kitchen gets busier
The sinks are ready to use as soon as we have finished. We run water through to check it drains before we go.
A fixed cleaning interval means the trap never gets overfull. The interval is set to suit the trap and the kitchen.
Honest limits
Not every problem is solved by grease trap cleaning, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not put right:
- Drains that are cracked or have collapsed
- Blockages further down the drainage network
- A grease trap that’s too small for the kitchen
