Surrey · Grease trap cleaning
Grease trap cleaning in Ash, Surrey
Grease trap cleaning for Ash, from a team that has been trading since 2009. Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus a 24/7 emergency line.
- An overdue grease trap
- A bad smell from the sinks or drains
- Gurgling from the sink waste
Looking after it afterwards
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Never pour used oil down the sink
- Hot water only moves grease further down
- Do not store things on top of the trap
- Scrape plates and pans into the bin before washing up
We will suggest when the trap should be cleaned again. That depends on how quickly it filled and how busy the kitchen is.
If the kitchen has got busier, the trap fills faster. Booking cleans more often stops it overflowing.
Grease trap cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Ash
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. If you are dealing with a grease trap that hasn’t been emptied in a long time and drains clogged with fat, we can put it right.
In a smaller place like Ash, commercial kitchens are more likely to be a pub, a café, a takeaway or a school or care home kitchen. A smaller kitchen still builds up grease where everyday cleaning does not reach.
Every visit ends with a written report and pictures, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What else we do in Ash
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
FAQs for Ash
Do you work overnight in Ash?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. Your customers, staff or residents in Ash needn’t be disturbed. When you ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, mention when the site is quiet.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Ash?
The local authority for Ash is Guildford council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. Inspection results feed into the food hygiene rating published by the Food Standards Agency.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we’ll suggest a schedule and quote for it.
How much does grease trap cleaning cost?
Trap size, type, condition and access all affect the price. Tell us about the trap and we will come back with a fixed price.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and we’ll quote them together.
What’s the right interval for grease trap cleaning?
That depends on the trap and the kitchen. A small trap fills more quickly than a large one and the busier the kitchen, the faster it fills. We’ll suggest an interval after the first clean.
Do you work in Ash?
Yes. We work across Greater London, Surrey, Kent, Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Essex, and that includes Ash.
Do you deal with blocked drains beyond the grease trap?
A trap clean removes the grease in the trap, and can clear the problem where the trap was the cause. A blockage deeper in the drains needs a drainage specialist.
Why act early in Ash
A smelly, overflowing trap attracts pests. A clean trap is less of an attraction as part of a clean kitchen. Booking now means the visit to Ash is planned around you, not forced by a breakdown.
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.
Why us?
- One number for every site across the South East and London
- Work around your opening hours, with 24/7 emergency cover
- Every job surveyed first

Part by part
Under-sink grease traps
Small grease traps sit under the sink. Their small size means they fill fast, so they need frequent emptying.
School, care home and staff kitchens
Care home and hospital kitchens need their drains working all the time. Visits are planned between meals.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
What we do, step by step
Every visit runs to the same pattern: protect the area, make the system safe, carry out the grease trap cleaning, clear away and hand over the paperwork. On site, the work takes an hour or so for an under-sink trap, longer for a larger unit. In a smaller place like Ash, parking is rarely the issue, but tell us about gates, roof access and opening hours.
- A visit is booked around your service.
- The trap is opened up and checked.
- Built-up grease and food waste are taken out.
- The inside, baffles and outlet are cleaned.
- The trap is closed, tested and the next clean discussed.
Preparing for the visit
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in

Grease trap cleaning in Ash: local notes
Food Standards Agency data counts about 3 food manufacturers and packers within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Ash. Food production can send a lot of fat, oil and grease towards the drains, so traps and interceptors need emptying on a schedule. In Ash, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Guildford council. They look at the cleanliness of the whole kitchen: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment. A cleaning log that includes deep cleans and grease trap visits shows the work is planned.
School kitchens, at schools like Walsh CofE Junior School for example, usually have their deep cleans and grease trap work done while the canteen is closed. If you look after a hall kitchen near Church of St Peter or anywhere in Ash, a deep clean between busy seasons is easier than a scramble before a big event.
