Stonebridge Green questions
Do you clean school kitchens in Stonebridge Green in the summer holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. There are about 3 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Stonebridge Green. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Do you work at weekends in Stonebridge Green?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. It means the site in Stonebridge Green keeps running as normal. When you call 0345 646 2711, or email photos, mention when the site is quiet.
Which grease traps does the service cover?
We clean all the common types. A photo helps us see what’s fitted and we will confirm.
What types of premises do you cover?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, as well as food production and leisure sites.
What paperwork should we keep on file?
The reports and certificates from each visit, plus your own logs. They’re what an insurer, fire officer or EHO may ask for, so keep them together and easy to find.
Can you clear our blocked drains as well?
Our service covers the grease trap itself. If the drain beyond the trap is blocked or damaged, we’ll tell you so you can call a drainage contractor.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. The legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005: the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and TR19® is the benchmark for showing that grease in the extract is under control.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not typically. The area we are working in has to be out of use while we are there, so the visit goes in a quiet slot.
How we handle grease trap cleaning in Stonebridge Green
A grease trap is the kitchen drain’s first line of protection. Kept clean, it does its job quietly, but neglected, it causes blockages and smells. A regular clean keeps it healthy. If you are dealing with an under-sink trap that keeps filling up and a larger grease trap that needs emptying, we can put it right.
For a kitchen in or near Stonebridge Green, the visit is planned ahead, around opening times and the journey.
A written report with photos follows each visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

- A full, neglected grease trap
- A routine grease trap service
- A bad smell from the sinks or drains
- Washing-up water that won’t drain away

Busy kitchens cannot afford a blocked drain. Keeping the trap clean reduces the risk.
Stonebridge Green kitchens: local notes
In Stonebridge Green, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Ashford council. The state of floors, drains and hard-to-reach corners all feeds into the inspection. Keeping a record of deep cleans and grease trap visits helps at inspection time. Stonebridge Green, about 41 miles from central London, is within our usual area. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours.
If you cater for weddings or events at a historic house in the area (Godinton House is about 5 miles south-east), deep cleans can be fitted between bookings. If you look after a hall kitchen near Church of St James or anywhere in Stonebridge Green, a deep clean between busy seasons is easier than a scramble before a big event.

What happens if it’s left?
A smelly, overflowing trap attracts pests. Keeping the trap clean removes something they’re looking for, alongside good kitchen hygiene. In a small place like Stonebridge Green, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
What you pay depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.

How it works
Your trading hours come first. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes an hour or so for an under-sink trap, longer for a larger unit. A few photos of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Stonebridge Green.
- We locate the trap and check how it’s fitted.
- We make sure nothing drains into the trap.
- Grease and solids are removed from the trap.
- We clean every part of the inside.
- The trap is refitted, tested with water and the waste taken away.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids

Looking after it afterwards
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Keep strainers in every sink
- Do not rely on hot water to clear grease
- Get food waste into the bin, not the sink
- Keep the grease trap on a regular cleaning schedule
Collect waste cooking oil separately rather than pouring it down the sink, and the trap will stay cleaner for longer. It makes a real difference.
Grease that gets past the trap sets in the drains. Once it’s there, it needs a drainage contractor to clear, so it’s far better to keep the trap clean.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that is where we come in.
