Wilsley Green: your questions answered
Which environmental health team covers Wilsley Green?
In Wilsley Green, it’s Tunbridge Wells council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Photos from a deep clean are a simple record of what was done and when.
Can you come to Wilsley Green after we close?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. That way a site in Wilsley Green doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. When you call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos, mention when the site is quiet.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
By covering it before any work starts. We keep the work contained and clean down when we finish.
Do you clean under-sink and inline grease traps?
We clean under-sink traps, inline traps and interceptors. Let us know what’s fitted and we’ll plan around it.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No. The law sets the duty, and TR19® is the recognised benchmark for meeting it. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and many insurers can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of cleaning.
What accreditations do you have?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We’ve been trading since 2009 and we are fully insured.
Which sectors do you work in?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, plus food production and leisure sites.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and you’ll get one fixed quote.
Grease trap cleaning in Wilsley Green
Think of the grease trap as a filter for the kitchen’s drains. Kept clean, it does its job quietly, but neglected, it causes blockages and smells. Routine cleaning keeps it in good working order. If you have a bad smell from the sinks or drains and gurgling from the sink waste, we can put it right, from under-sink grease traps, school and care home kitchens and inline grease traps onwards.
Rural kitchens may drain to a septic tank or a private drain rather than straight into a public sewer, and fat getting past a grease trap can cause real trouble there.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Leave it or put it right?
A dirty grease trap smells. Decomposing waste in the trap smells bad and the smell carries. A clean trap takes the source away. It’s simpler to plan the work at Wilsley Green now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. You will have a fixed price before any work starts.

What we are called out for in Wilsley Green
For a kitchen in Wilsley Green or anywhere else, the trap is out of sight and out of mind. Hidden under a sink or in a floor, it’s often ignored until something goes wrong.

- A blocked kitchen drain caused by grease
- Scheduled grease trap emptying
- Washing-up water that won’t drain away
- A kitchen drain that smells

Grease trap cleaning around Wilsley Green
Look up Wilsley Green on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 10 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 4 sandwich bars and takeaways in and around Wilsley Green, up to about a mile and a half out. Fat from washing up sets hard in pipes, and kitchens like these produce plenty of it. In Wilsley Green, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Tunbridge Wells council. Walls, floors, ceilings and equipment are all part of what they look at. Having the dates of the last deep clean to hand saves digging for them on the day.
School kitchens, at schools like Cranbrook Church of England Primary School for example, typically have their deep cleans and grease trap work done while the canteen is closed. Hall kitchens near Church of St Dunstan or elsewhere in Wilsley Green may have older sinks and drains, so a grease trap check is worth adding to a deep clean.

Different parts, different methods
Restaurant and takeaway kitchens
A blocked drain in a busy kitchen can stop service. Keeping the trap clean reduces the risk.
School, care home and staff kitchens
In schools, grease traps can be cleaned when the kitchen is closed or between meal services.
What happens on the day
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes an hour or so for an under-sink trap, longer for a larger unit. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Wilsley Green.
- A visit is booked around your service.
- We open the trap and look at its condition.
- We remove the grease layer and settled solids.
- We clean the baffles, inlet and outlet.
- We close it up, check it drains and suggest when it needs cleaning again.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
How to get a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.

How we price grease trap cleaning
There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- The scale of the work
- Whether several sites go on one quote
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.
Asking for a quote
We can often survey from photos. Try to include:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The site address and the type of premises
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Your last certificate, test record or report
For grease trap cleaning in Wilsley Green, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email. Tell us what kind of premises it is and when it’s open, plus photos or the previous report if they’re to hand. We typically send a fixed quote within one working day.
Keeping the system healthy
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Act on gurgling or smelly drains
- Don’t wait for a blockage to book a clean
- Do not rely on hot water to clear grease
- Don’t store things on top of the trap
We take the grease and solids away. Nothing is left for you to dispose of when we’re done.
A fixed cleaning interval means the trap never gets overfull. We agree the timing with you.
