Aftercare tips
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Never pour used oil down the sink
- Hot water only moves grease further down
- Act on gurgling or smelly drains
- Book trap cleans at a set interval
We’ll suggest when the trap should be cleaned again. That depends on how quickly it filled and how much the kitchen cooks.
A fixed cleaning interval means the trap never gets overfull. We agree the timing with you.
Grease trap cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Ashampstead Green
A neglected grease trap stops doing its job. Further down the pipe, the grease cools and hardens and the result is blocked drains and bad smells. A trap that is cleaned regularly keeps grease where it belongs. We are often asked to deal with a slow-draining kitchen sink and drains that gurgle and bubble, on inline grease traps, under-sink grease traps and pot wash sinks.
Work in a small place like Ashampstead Green starts with agreeing a date and access, and the deep clean is the same as anywhere: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

What the work involves, part by part
Under-sink grease traps
An under-sink trap is out of sight. When they fill, the sink slows and starts to smell.
Inline grease traps
Several sinks may drain into one inline trap. That means more grease, so regular cleaning matters.

Most grease trap cleans take anything from under an hour to a few hours, depending on the trap including checking it drains. It’s booked when the sinks aren’t needed.

Grease escapes into the drains when the trap is full. It sets there and narrows the pipes until they block. Regular cleaning prevents it.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that’s where we come in.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
