About our grease trap cleaning in Abinger
A grease trap is the kitchen drain’s first line of protection. When it’s looked after, you hardly know it’s there, but neglected, it causes blockages and smells. Routine cleaning keeps it in good working order. Common call-outs are for a blocked kitchen drain caused by grease and scheduled grease trap emptying, on pot wash sinks, inline grease traps and restaurants and takeaways.
In a village or hamlet like Abinger, 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.
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, and we are fully insured.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We are happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
What the work involves, part by part
Under-sink grease traps
Under-sink traps are compact units fitted below the kitchen sink. Their small size means they fill fast and need regular cleaning.
Inline grease traps
Inline traps may be under a floor panel or in a cupboard. We check how to reach it before the visit.

The process
Each visit runs to the same pattern: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, carry out the grease trap cleaning, clear away and leave you the report. On site, the work takes less than an hour for many under-sink units. The timing of a visit to Abinger is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- First, we find the trap and look at its connections.
- Sinks feeding the trap are taken out of use.
- We empty out the fat, oil, grease and solids.
- The chambers and baffles are cleaned.
- We refit it, run water through and remove the waste.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Clear loose items from the work area
Ask for a quote
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, and then send you a fixed quote. To start, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Related advice
Keeping the system healthy
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Don’t rely on hot water to clear grease
- Keep access to the trap clear
- Mention any increase in cooking
- Never pour used oil down the sink
Scrape plates into the bin before washing up. Use strainers in the sink plugholes before they reach the trap.
Slow sinks and a bad smell are early warnings. Acting at this stage normally prevents a blockage later.
Abinger questions
Which council inspects kitchens in Abinger?
That’s Mole Valley council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Abinger. 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.
Do you work at weekends in Abinger?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. That way a site in Abinger doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We start with protection: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
Does the report say when we need you again?
Yes. The interval depends on how much the system is used and what we find, and we explain the reasoning on the report.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Photos often do the job, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
Which sectors do you work in?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. Work is timed around how each site runs.
Where does the grease from the trap go?
We remove all the waste we take out. It isn’t poured back down the drain at any point.
Where does the waste go?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. We do not leave it behind.

Why it’s worth doing now in Abinger
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. Emptying and cleaning the trap deals with the source. In a small place like Abinger, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.

Commercial kitchens in Abinger
The FSA’s data shows about 4 bars, pubs and nightclubs registered within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Abinger. Wherever food is prepared there, a periodic deep clean and a clear grease trap keep things in order. Kitchens in Abinger get their food hygiene inspections from Mole Valley council. Grease behind equipment or on a ceiling is the kind of thing an inspection can note. Keeping a record of deep cleans and grease trap visits helps at inspection time. About 24 miles out from central London, Abinger is part of the South East area we work across. Visits are booked around your hours, evenings and weekends included.
If you run event catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Polesden Lacey is about 3.9 miles north-east), a deep clean before or after the busy season is worth planning. Half-term is a good time for school kitchens, at schools like Belmont Prep School for instance, to have the grease trap emptied and the kitchen deep cleaned. Hall kitchens near Church of St James or elsewhere in Abinger may have older sinks and drains, so a grease trap check is worth adding to a deep clean.
