What affects the quote in Three Chimneys
Your quote is based on your site. We consider:
- The size of the system
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- The condition of the system
- Travel, parking and unloading
You won’t find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we will explain what it covers.
Helping us quote
To help us quote quickly, send us:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your pictures and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before any work starts.
The process
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, which 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 Three Chimneys.
- A visit is booked around your service.
- We open the trap and look at its condition.
- Built-up grease and food waste are taken out.
- The inside, baffles and outlet are cleaned.
- The trap is closed, tested and the next clean discussed.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
How to get a quote
To get a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. You’ll typically have a quote within one working day.
Advice
What your team can do, and what needs us
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
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.
Different parts, different methods
Under-sink grease traps
An under-sink trap is out of sight. When they fill, the sink slows and starts to smell.
Inline grease traps
Several sinks may drain into one inline trap. That means more grease, so regular cleaning matters.

Three Chimneys questions
Do you work in villages like Three Chimneys?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Who inspects food businesses in Three Chimneys?
Kitchens in Three Chimneys 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.
What do you do with what you remove?
It’s contained and taken away. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on rather than letting it spread.
Are you insured?
Yes. We carry full insurance and have been trading since 2009.
What problems does a full grease trap cause?
Grease and food waste build up until the trap stops working. Slow drains, bad smells and blockages follow.
Are you accredited?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We’ve been trading since 2009 and we’re fully insured.
What does TR19 mean?
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 legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site across London and the South East, with visits on a regular schedule.
Honest limits
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what grease trap cleaning won’t do:
- Drains that need jetting rather than trap cleaning
- A grease trap that’s too small for the kitchen
- A leaking sink waste or trap connection
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will say what we think before you book.
What we work on in Three Chimneys
- Pot wash sinks
- School and care home kitchens
- Restaurants and takeaways
- Inline grease traps
- Kitchen waste pipes
- Under-sink grease traps
Multi-site and managed buildings
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. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
Why deal with it now?
A dirty grease trap smells. Rotting food and grease give off foul odours and the smell carries. Cleaning it removes the cause. Planning a trip to Three Chimneys ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
The cost depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.
