About our grease trap cleaning in Bagshot
Grease traps sit between the sinks and the drain, holding back fats, oils and grease. Cooling water lets the grease rise and separate, and clean water flows on. Over time, the trap fills up and needs emptying and cleaning. We’re often asked to deal with a full, neglected grease trap and a kitchen drain that smells, across pot wash sinks, restaurants and takeaways and inline grease traps.
Work in a smaller place like Bagshot is planned around your opening hours, and the journey is planned ahead.
We have been trading since 2009, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
What else we do in Bagshot
Looking after it afterwards
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Do not wait for a blockage to book a clean
- Keep strainers in every sink
- Mention any increase in cooking
- Don’t rely on hot water to clear grease
We’ll suggest when the trap should be cleaned again. That depends on how quickly it filled and how busy the kitchen is.
Setting regular cleans takes the guesswork out. The interval is set to suit the trap and the kitchen.
When it’s something else
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Blockages further down the drainage network
- A trap undersized for the amount of cooking
- Drains that need jetting rather than trap cleaning
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will tell you honestly.

Different parts, different methods
School, care home and staff kitchens
In schools, grease traps can be cleaned when the kitchen is closed or between meal services.
Baffles and outlets
The baffles hold back grease while water flows on. They gather grease and debris so they’re cleaned every time.
Bagshot: your questions answered
Can the work in Bagshot be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Bagshot needn’t be disturbed. When you ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, mention when the site is quiet.
Who inspects food businesses in Bagshot?
Kitchens in Bagshot are inspected by Surrey Heath council’s environmental health officers. An officer may look behind equipment and at drains, so it pays to have the deep clean booked before those areas build up.
Which grease traps does the service cover?
We clean under-sink traps, inline traps and interceptors. Let us know what’s fitted and we’ll plan around it.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. We always survey first, either from photos and details you send or on a site visit. Then you get a fixed quote.
Can you clear our blocked drains as well?
That depends on the cause. If the trap is full, cleaning it often helps but grease set further down the drains needs jetting by a drainage specialist.
Does the report say when we need you again?
Yes. The report recommends when the next visit should be, based on what we found and how the system is used.
How much notice should we give?
The more notice, the better, particularly for night and weekend visits. We typically quote within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
What does TR19 mean?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked and expects a risk-based approach.

How the visit works
The visit has three parts: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, and the sign-off is a written report with pictures. Most of the time goes on the work itself, and that takes an hour or two in most kitchens, depending on the size and condition of the trap. Evenings, weekends or a closed day all work for a site in a place like Bagshot.
- First, we locate the grease trap and look at the pipework around it.
- We ask for the sinks that drain into the trap not to be used.
- Built-up fat, oil and grease is removed from the trap.
- We clean the chambers, baffles and connections.
- We put it back together, run water through and remove the waste.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
