Walter's Green: your questions answered
Can the work in Walter's Green be done at night or at weekends?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The site is handed back ready to open. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Do you cover smaller places like Walter's Green?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Walter's Green included. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
What happens if a grease trap is not cleaned?
A full trap cannot catch any more grease. The grease hardens in the pipes, leading to blocked drains and smells and can end up adding to sewer blockages.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No. The law sets the duty; TR19® is the benchmark used to show it’s met. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and without records, many insurers may refuse or reduce a claim.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
Do I get a report after the visit?
Yes. Every visit ends with a written report and photos, covering the work, any areas we couldn’t access and the recommended next date. Kitchen extract cleans to TR19® Grease also get a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not usually. Out-of-hours visits keep the disruption down. Bigger sites can be done in stages so parts stay in use.
Which accreditations do you hold?
We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.
How we handle grease trap cleaning in Walter's Green
Kitchens in Walter's Green use us for grease trap cleaning, from small under-sink units to inline traps and interceptors. We come when the sinks aren’t needed, so the kitchen keeps running. We are often asked to deal with a larger grease trap that needs emptying and drains that gurgle and bubble, across school and care home kitchens, inline grease traps and restaurants and takeaways.
Work in a small place like Walter's Green starts with agreeing a date and access, and the deep clean is the same as anywhere: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

Aftercare tips
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Do not wait for a blockage to book a clean
- Tell us if your menu or hours change
- Report slow or smelly sinks early
- Get food waste into the bin, not the sink
If we spot problems beyond the trap, such as a drain that still runs slowly, we will tell you. That may need a drainage contractor to look further.
A fixed cleaning interval means the trap never gets overfull. We agree the timing with you.
Different parts, different methods
Baffles and outlets
Every clean includes the baffles, inlet and outlet so water flows freely.
School, care home and staff kitchens
Care home and hospital kitchens need their drains working all the time. Visits are planned between meals.
Why act early in Walter's Green
For a kitchen in Walter's Green, a regular grease trap clean is a small, planned job. A blocked drain is an emergency, often at a busy time. A fault that closes a site in a village like Walter's Green affects everyone who depends on it.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before we start.

How we price grease trap cleaning
Your quote is based on your site. We consider:
- The scale of the work
- The number of sites or systems
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you’ll get one fixed quote.
Asking for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Any previous report or certificate
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To get going, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.

What else we do in Walter's Green
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 they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
The process
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. From there, it takes an hour or two in most kitchens, depending on the size and condition of the trap. Somewhere as small as Walter's Green, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- We start by finding the trap and checking its inlet and outlet.
- The sinks feeding the trap are kept out of use while we work.
- The trap is emptied of grease and food waste.
- We clean the chambers, baffles and connections.
- The trap is reassembled, checked for leaks and the waste taken away.
Preparing for the visit
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
