Our grease trap cleaning service in Surrey

A neglected grease trap stops doing its job. Fat sets in the pipes downstream and the result is blocked drains and bad smells. Regular cleaning keeps it working. The work covers kitchen waste pipes, restaurants and takeaways and inline grease traps, and common reasons people get in touch are an under-sink trap that keeps filling up and drains that gurgle and bubble.

On the day, we arrive 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.

  1. We locate the trap and check how it’s fitted.
  2. We make sure nothing drains into the trap.
  3. Grease and solids are removed from the trap.
  4. We clean every part of the inside.
  5. We refit it, run water through and remove the waste.

What you will pay

Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.

Landmarks near Guildford

Around Guildford, our work takes us to kitchens and buildings near Surrey Maths School, Sandfield Primary School and Guildford High School and the streets around them. Also close by are Church of St John the Evangelist (under half a mile east), Stoke Park (less than half a mile east) and The King's Head pub (within half a mile south-east). The closest station to Guildford is London Road (Guildford) station, about 0.6 miles south-east of the centre. A little further out are Guildford Castle (0.9 miles south) and Guildford House (0.8 miles south). The countryside around Guildford includes Silent Pool and Pewley Hill.

Where we work in Surrey

In Surrey, every food business is inspected by its local council, and a clean kitchen with a working grease trap is part of what they look for.

We work across London and the South East, and Surrey is part of that area. Each job starts with a survey and a fixed quote, wherever it is in Surrey.

Guildford: For schools such as Sandfield Primary School, deep cleans and grease trap work are typically booked for the holidays. For a café close to London Road (Guildford) station, a deep clean can be done between closing and the morning rush.

Why it fails

In Surrey, as everywhere, grease traps are easy to forget. Hidden under a sink or in a floor it’s often left until there’s a problem.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Drains clogged with fat
  • An interceptor full of grease and solids
  • Washing-up water that will not drain away
  • A bad smell from the sinks or drains

Why deal with it now?

A full grease trap lets grease through to the drains. It hardens on the pipe walls until water can’t get through. Cleaning the trap regularly is far easier than clearing a blocked drain.

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether VAT is included
  • Whether they recommend a next date
  • Whether the quote is based on a survey or pictures
  • What records you will receive afterwards

Staff cleaning versus specialist work

A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.

Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.

What the work involves, part by part

Restaurant and takeaway kitchens

We time visits to avoid service so you do not lose trade.

School, care home and staff kitchens

Kitchens that serve set mealtimes fill their traps more steadily. A regular interval suits them well.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers

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.

We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.

Surrey: your questions answered

Do I get a report after the visit?

Yes. Each visit ends with a written report and photos, covering the work, any areas we couldn’t access and the recommended next date. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, there’s also a certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Can you clear our blocked drains as well?

A trap clean removes the grease in the trap and that may solve a slow drain caused by the trap. Blockages further down the drain, or damaged pipework, need a drainage contractor.

What types of grease trap do you clean?

We clean all the common types. A photo helps us see what’s fitted when you ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.

What types of premises do you cover?

Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a single café to a large school. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.

Do you offer maintenance contracts?

Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, depending on what the system needs.

Do you look at the system first?

Yes. We always survey first, either from pictures and details you send or on a site visit. A fixed quote follows.

Are you insured?

Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we have been trading since 2009.
