Grease trap cleaning in The Moor
For kitchens across The Moor, grease trap cleaning fits easily around service. We empty, clean and check the trap and remove the waste. It works on its own or with a deep clean or extract clean. We are often asked to deal with an interceptor full of grease and solids and drains that gurgle and bubble, on pot wash sinks, under-sink grease traps and kitchen waste pipes.
In a village or hamlet like The Moor, commercial kitchens are few, perhaps a pub, a school or a care home. Wherever there is one, it needs its grease trap and hard-to-reach areas kept clean.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Questions from The Moor
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in The Moor?
Food hygiene inspections in The Moor are carried out by Tunbridge Wells council. Photos from a deep clean are a simple record of what was done and when.
Do you work at weekends in The Moor?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. Your customers, staff or residents in The Moor needn’t be disturbed. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Will you tell us when the next visit is due?
Yes. The report recommends when the next visit should be, based on use and what we found.
How regularly does a grease trap need emptying?
That depends on the trap and the kitchen. A small trap fills more quickly than a large one and the busier the kitchen, the faster it fills. We will suggest an interval after the first clean.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
Anything we can’t reach goes on the report, with pictures where possible, and we explain what access is needed, for example new access panels.
Who is the responsible person?
The Fire Safety Order 2005 calls them the responsible person: normally the employer or whoever controls the premises. Landlords, facilities managers and managing agents can also hold responsibility.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, either from photos and details you send or on a site visit. Then you get a fixed quote.
Why deal with it now?
In The Moor, as anywhere, grease trap cleaning is a short, routine visit. A blocked drain is an emergency and normally at the worst moment. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to The Moor is calmer for everyone.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re not sure what’s needed, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
Why us?

What grease trap cleaning looks like in The Moor
Food Standards Agency records list about 7 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens across The Moor and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Kitchens like these wash fat, oil and grease down the sink every day, and a grease trap is what stops it reaching the sewer. We cover The Moor, about 41 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours. In The Moor, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Tunbridge Wells council. They look at the cleanliness of the whole kitchen: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment. Keeping a record of deep cleans and grease trap visits helps at inspection time.
Great Dixter, about 4.8 miles south-east, is one of the historic houses around The Moor; event kitchens at places like that work in bursts, so a deep clean after a busy season helps. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Marlborough House School or anywhere near The Moor, the holidays are the time for a deep clean or a grease trap clean. Hall and church kitchens, near Church of St Laurence or anywhere around The Moor, are used by many hands, and periodic deep cleans and grease trap visits keep them in order.
The Moor is about 12 miles north of Hastings, in Kent. Sites in The Moor get the same service as everywhere we cover: diagnosis first, a fixed price, out-of-hours working where needed and a written report with pictures. The Moor is one of 922 towns, villages and districts in Kent we cover for commercial clients. Maidstone is in our area too, around 16 miles away.

Looking after it afterwards
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Mention any increase in cooking
- Tell us when sinks start draining slowly
- Keep access to the trap clear
- Scrape plates and pans into the bin before washing up
Keep used oil out of the drains and the trap will not fill as quickly. It’s the single easiest way to help.
An overfull trap lets grease pass. Regular emptying keeps it working and saves a call-out for a blocked drain.
What affects the quote in The Moor
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- The times the site is available
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- The condition we find in the survey
- How easy every part is to reach
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.
Helping us quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- The postcode and the type of business
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts.
What the work involves, part by part
Restaurant and takeaway kitchens
A blocked drain in a busy kitchen can stop service. Regular trap cleaning helps prevent it.
Baffles and outlets
Every clean includes the baffles, inlet and outlet so water flows freely.
What we do, step by step
There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, and the sign-off is a written report with photos. The middle part takes longest, and that takes a short visit for a small trap and longer for an inline unit or interceptor. A few pictures of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like The Moor.
- First, we find the trap and look at its connections.
- We make sure nothing drains into the trap.
- We empty out the fat, oil, grease and solids.
- We clean every part of the inside.
- We refit it, run water through and remove the waste.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
How to get a quote
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and pictures, and we normally reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in The Moor and across Kent. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and photos, so records stay tidy.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
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 do not reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
