What affects the cost of grease trap cleaning
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- What state the system is in
- How easy every part is to reach
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.
What we need to know
To speed up the quote, please include:
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To get going, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
About our grease trap cleaning in Addlestone
Grease traps sit between the sinks and the drain, holding back fats, oils and grease. Cooling water lets the grease rise and separate while the water carries on to the drain. Over time, the trap fills up and has to be emptied and cleaned. If you have gurgling drains in the kitchen and drains clogged with fat, we can put it right, from inline grease traps, restaurants and takeaways and kitchen waste pipes onwards.
In a smaller place like Addlestone, commercial kitchens are more likely to be a pub, a café, a takeaway or a school or care home kitchen. Smaller kitchens still collect grease behind equipment and in the drains.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

What staff can safely do
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Grease trap cleaning in Addlestone: local notes

Pub and hotel kitchens get the same build-up behind equipment and in the grease trap as any other. In Addlestone, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Runnymede council. Walls, floors, ceilings and equipment are all part of what they look at.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- Keep the grease trap on a regular cleaning schedule
- Mention any increase in cooking
- Use strainers in the sink plugholes
- Collect waste cooking oil separately
Between cleans, keep food scraps out of the sink. Sink strainers help catch solids so less solid waste gets through.
An overfull trap lets grease pass. Regular emptying keeps it working and saves a call-out for a blocked drain.
Leave it or put it right?
Smells from a neglected trap are hard to ignore. Decomposing waste in the trap smells bad that can reach the kitchen and beyond. A clean trap takes the source away. Systems on quieter sites still build up dirt and wear, just more slowly.
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 will go through it with you.

Addlestone: your questions answered
Will you come out to Addlestone?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Addlestone is covered. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Can a school kitchen in Addlestone be done out of term time?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. Food Standards Agency records list about 18 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Addlestone. You can call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with the dates the site is empty.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. We always survey first, from your photos and details, or with a visit where needed. Then you get a fixed quote.
How long does a grease trap clean take?
Typically, it takes an hour or so for an under-sink trap, longer for a larger unit. A large or very full trap takes longer and we will say so when we quote.
What does TR19 mean?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It is not law, but it’s the benchmark.
Do you provide a certificate or report?
Yes. You get a written report with pictures after every visit, 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.
What happens if a grease trap isn’t cleaned?
Grease escapes into the drains when the trap is full. There it hardens on the pipe walls until they block. Keeping the trap clean stops that happening.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Commercial premises of every kind: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. Work is timed around how each site runs.
When it’s something else
Before you book, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Leaking pipework or sink wastes, which need a plumber
- Sewer problems outside the premises
- Grease set hard in the drain run
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will tell you honestly.

What we do, step by step
We turn up at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool before we start, and the area around the work is covered and protected. The work itself takes an hour or two in most kitchens, depending on the size and condition of the trap. For a place like Addlestone, we load the van from the survey notes so the work can be done in one visit where possible.
- 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.
- We clean every part of the inside.
- The trap is refitted, tested with water and the waste taken away.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
How to get a quote

Food scraps go down the sink with the washing-up water. It settles in the trap as solids and fill it from below.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- A full, neglected grease trap
- Drains clogged with fat
- A kitchen drain that smells
- An inline trap or interceptor due for cleaning
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St Paul's or elsewhere in Addlestone, a deep clean and an emptied grease trap before a busy season of events are worth booking.
