Grease trap cleaning around Troy Town
There are about 10 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 9 takeaways and sandwich shops in and around Troy Town, up to about a mile and a half out, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Wherever they wash pans and plates, fat heads for the drain unless a trap catches it. In Troy Town, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Sevenoaks council. The state of floors, drains and hard-to-reach corners all feeds into the inspection. Having the dates of the last deep clean to hand saves digging for them on the day.
If you run a kitchen in an older building near Troy Town, such as a historic house like Chartwell (about 2.7 miles north-east), older drains make a working grease trap all the more important. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Tandridge Priory (about 2.8 miles north), cook for long hours, so deep cleans and grease trap work are planned around patients’ meals.

Grease trap cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Troy Town
A clean trap means flowing drains and no foul smells. The fat, oil, grease and solids are taken out, clean the inside and the baffles, and check the trap is working properly. If you have a larger grease trap that needs emptying and drains that gurgle and bubble, we can put it right, from restaurants and takeaways, pot wash sinks and school and care home kitchens onwards.
Somewhere as small as Troy Town, the kitchens that need a deep clean are typically a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still needs the occasional deep clean and its grease trap kept clear.
A written report with photos follows each visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

How the visit 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. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes an hour or two in most kitchens, depending on the size and condition of the trap. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Troy Town before we set off.
- We locate the trap and check how it’s fitted.
- Sinks feeding the trap are taken out of use.
- Grease and solids are removed from the trap.
- The chambers and baffles are cleaned.
- The trap is refitted, tested with water and the waste taken away.
Getting ready for the visit
- 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
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
Ask for a quote
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, and then send you a fixed quote. To get going, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
Related advice
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
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.
When it’s something else
We won’t sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- A leaking sink waste or trap connection
- Sewer problems outside the premises
- Drains that are cracked or have collapsed
If you are not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will give you a straight answer.
What the work covers

What happens if it’s left?
Pouring hot water or chemicals down a slow drain is a common quick fix. It just shifts the grease further along to set somewhere harder to reach. The lasting fix starts with the trap. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
We don’t list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, and we’ll talk you through it.

Troy Town: your questions answered
Can you get to a site in Troy Town?
Yes. Troy Town 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.
Can school kitchens in Troy Town be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. With about 2 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Troy Town, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with your term dates and we’ll plan around them.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We carry full insurance, and we have been trading since 2009.
How much does grease trap cleaning cost?
We price it once we know the trap and how often it needs cleaning. Get in touch and we’ll send you a fixed quote before any work starts.
Do you deal with blocked drains beyond the grease trap?
Our service covers the grease trap itself. Where the problem is further down the drain, we will say so and suggest a drainage contractor.
How long will the sinks be out of use?
Typically, it takes an hour or two in most kitchens, depending on the size and condition of the trap. A large or very full trap takes longer, and we will tell you in advance.
Will you tell us when the next visit is due?
Yes. The recommended date is on the report. For kitchen extracts, BESA’s minimum intervals run from every 3 months for heavy use to every 12 months for light use, while fire dampers are tested at least annually.
How do you protect the area?
We start with protection: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
Between visits
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Fit sink strainers to catch food scraps
- Scrape plates and pans into the bin before washing up
- Keep waste oil out of the drains
- Act on gurgling or smelly drains
Scrape plates into the bin before washing up. Sink strainers help catch solids before they reach the trap.
Setting regular cleans takes the guesswork out. We agree the timing with you.
Common problems we fix in Troy Town
Food waste slips past sink strainers or gets rinsed down. It settles in the trap as solids and fill it from below.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Drains that gurgle and bubble
- Sinks that drain slowly
- An under-sink trap that keeps filling up
- A blocked kitchen drain caused by grease
If you run a café or takeaway near Edenbridge station, a deep clean overnight means the kitchen opens as normal next morning.
