How we handle grease trap cleaning in Bletchingley
We clean grease traps for kitchens in Bletchingley, from small under-sink units to inline traps and interceptors. We come when the sinks aren’t needed so washing up isn’t interrupted. Typical jobs include grease setting in the kitchen pipework and sinks that drain slowly, on school and care home kitchens, restaurants and takeaways and under-sink grease traps.
For a kitchen in or near Bletchingley, the visit is planned ahead, around opening times and the journey.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Between visits
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Don’t wait for a blockage to book a clean
- Tell us if your menu or hours change
- Use strainers in the sink plugholes
- Tell us when sinks start draining slowly
Between cleans, keep food scraps out of the sink. Use strainers in the sink plugholes so less solid waste gets through.
More cooking means more grease in the trap. Shortening the cleaning interval now keeps the drains flowing.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Surrey. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Do you need grease trap cleaning in Bletchingley?
If a trap isn’t emptied, grease passes straight through. It then builds up in the drains and on towards the sewer, where it can cause blockages.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Sinks that drain slowly
- An under-sink trap that keeps filling up
- A bad smell from the sinks or drains
- Drains that gurgle and bubble
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Mary the Virgin or elsewhere in Bletchingley, a deep clean and an emptied grease trap before a busy season of events are worth booking.
Questions to ask before you book
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- What records you will receive afterwards
- When the next visit should be, and why
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
What a clean will not put right
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A leaking sink waste or trap connection
- Collapsed or damaged drains, which need a drainage contractor
- A trap undersized for the amount of cooking
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly.

FAQs for Bletchingley
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Bletchingley?
Kitchens in Bletchingley are inspected by Tandridge council’s environmental health officers. How often a business is inspected depends on the council’s risk rating for it, so the kitchen needs to be ready at any time.
Do you work overnight in Bletchingley?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The work in Bletchingley can fit around your hours. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it and the fixed quote is built on it.
Do I get a report after the visit?
Yes, always. It’s a dated, written report with pictures, plus a certificate via the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal for TR19® Grease cleans. File it with your fire safety records.
Will cleaning the grease trap fix a blocked drain?
Cleaning the trap deals with the grease it holds, and can clear the problem where the trap was the cause. Blockages further down the drain, or damaged pipework, need a drainage contractor.
What is TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping, and it takes a risk-based approach.
Do you clean under-sink and inline grease traps?
We clean all the common types. A photo helps us see what’s fitted when you call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
What do you do to protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. The work is kept contained and leave the area clean.

What else we do in Bletchingley
What we do, step by step
Protection comes first: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes an hour or so for an under-sink trap, longer for a larger unit, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Bletchingley and turn up when the site is quiet.
- We agree a time when the sinks aren’t needed.
- We open the trap and look at its condition.
- Built-up grease and food waste are taken out.
- We clean the baffles, inlet and outlet.
- We close it up, check it drains and suggest when it needs cleaning again.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system

Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your pictures and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before work begins.

What staff can safely do
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
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.
How we price grease trap cleaning
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:
- Parking and loading at the site
- How big the system is
- The times the site is available
- Any permits to work or inductions
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you will get one fixed quote.
What we need to know
There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
