Grease trap cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Twitton
Grease trap cleaning keeps the drains running and the smells away. We empty the built-up grease and food solids and the chambers and baffles cleaned, and check the trap is working properly. The work covers kitchen waste pipes, school and care home kitchens and restaurants and takeaways, and common reasons people get in touch are an inline trap or interceptor due for cleaning and gurgling drains in the kitchen.
In a village or hamlet like Twitton, commercial kitchens are few, perhaps a pub, a school or a care home. Each still needs the occasional deep clean and its grease trap kept clear.
A written report with pictures 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.

Why it’s worth doing now in Twitton
Once the trap is full, grease heads for the drain. It hardens on the pipe walls until water can’t get through. Cleaning the trap regularly is far easier than clearing a blocked drain. It’s simpler to plan the work at Twitton now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
We do not list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and we’ll explain what it covers.

Keeping the system healthy
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Keep access to the trap clear
- Tell us if your menu or hours change
- Book trap cleans at a set interval
- Hot water only moves grease further down
Between cleans, keep food scraps out of the sink. Sink strainers help catch solids before they reach the trap.
Grease that gets past the trap sets in the drains. Clearing it then is a bigger job, so it’s far better to keep the trap clean.
Twitton: your questions answered
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Twitton?
That is Sevenoaks council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Twitton. Keep the dates of your last deep clean and grease trap visit with your food safety records, ready if an officer asks.
Do you work at weekends in Twitton?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. It means the site in Twitton keeps running as normal. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Do you deal with blocked drains beyond the grease trap?
It depends where the blockage is. A full trap is a common cause, and cleaning it can help but grease set further down the drains needs jetting by a drainage specialist.
Do you clean under-sink and inline grease traps?
Under-sink units, inline traps and interceptors are all covered. Tell us what you have and we’ll plan the visit.
What problems does a full grease trap cause?
An overfull trap lets grease into the drains. There it hardens on the pipe walls and causes blockages. Regular cleaning prevents it.
Which accreditations do you hold?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We are fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
How much time does a grease trap clean need?
A typical clean takes an hour or so for an under-sink trap, longer for a larger unit including checking it drains. We plan the visit around your service.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No, not in itself. TR19® is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs check against, and many insurance policies ask for proof of TR19® cleaning. The legal duty sits in the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 in England and Wales.
What your team can do, and what needs us
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.
Commercial kitchens in Twitton
The FSA’s data shows about 5 pubs and bars registered in Twitton and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Pub and hotel kitchens get the same build-up behind equipment and in the grease trap as any other. Kitchens in Twitton get their food hygiene inspections from Sevenoaks council. An inspection covers the structure of the kitchen as well as the food. Photos and dates from each deep clean make a useful record.
If you run a care home or healthcare kitchen near Twitton (the nearest hospital is Sevenoaks Hospital, about 2.1 miles south-east), a grease trap on a set schedule avoids a blocked drain mid-service. If you run event catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Lullingstone Castle is about 3.3 miles north), a deep clean before or after the busy season is worth planning.

What happens on the day
Every visit runs to the same pattern: protect the area, make the system safe, carry out the grease trap cleaning, clear away and hand over the paperwork. On site, the work takes less than an hour for many under-sink units. For a village or hamlet like Twitton, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- 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.
- 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
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
Getting a quote
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. 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 work begins.
