Grease trap cleaning near Brick Hill

Grease trap cleaning in Brick Hill

Every trap is different. Under-sink traps are compact and need frequent attention, while inline traps and interceptors hold more. We assess the trap and how fast it fills and suggest an interval that suits. Common call-outs are for a kitchen drain that smells and washing-up water that won’t drain away, across under-sink grease traps, pot wash sinks and restaurants and takeaways.

For a kitchen in or near Brick Hill, the visit is planned ahead, around opening times and the journey.

A written report with photos follows every visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Fixed quotes for grease trap cleaning in Brick Hill

A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:

  • Travel, parking and unloading
  • Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
  • How big the system is
  • Site requirements such as sign-in and permits

What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.

What to send for a quote

Before you ask for a quote, gather:

  • Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
  • Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
  • Any previous report or certificate
  • Where the site is and what kind of site it is

Need a price for grease trap cleaning? Please call 0345 646 2711 or email us with a few details about the site. We will talk you through the work and give you a fixed quote before you commit to anything.

What staff can safely do

If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.

A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.

Commercial kitchens in Brick Hill

The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 6 bars, pubs and nightclubs within about 1.5 miles of central Brick Hill. Where they run a kitchen, it needs the same deep cleaning and grease trap care as any restaurant. It’s Surrey Heath council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Brick Hill. Grease behind equipment or on a ceiling is the kind of thing an inspection can note. A cleaning log that includes deep cleans and grease trap visits shows the work is planned.

If you run a care home or healthcare kitchen near Brick Hill (the nearest hospital is Heatherwood Hospital, about 3.6 miles north-west), a grease trap on a set schedule avoids a blocked drain mid-service. If you run a kitchen in an older building near Brick Hill, such as a historic house like Botleys Mansion (about 4 miles east), older drains make a working grease trap all the more important. School kitchens, at schools like Valley End CofE Infant School for example, typically have their deep cleans and grease trap work done while the canteen is closed.

Your questions about grease trap cleaning in Brick Hill

Can the work in Brick Hill be done at night or at weekends?

Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. Your customers, staff or residents in Brick Hill needn’t be disturbed. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we will book within them.

Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Brick Hill?

In Brick Hill, it’s Surrey Heath council that carries out food hygiene inspections. 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.

What’s the right interval for grease trap cleaning?

The right interval depends on your trap and your cooking. Slow or smelly sinks between cleans mean it needs doing more often and we’ll adjust the schedule.

Which sectors do you work in?

We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, plus food production and leisure sites.

Can you clear our blocked drains as well?

We clean the trap, not the drain network. Where the problem is further down the drain, we’ll say so and suggest a drainage contractor.

Do we need to close while you work?

Not typically. We need the work area to ourselves while we are on site, so we book a time when it would be closed anyway.

Can we book visits on a schedule?

Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.

Who has the legal duty for fire safety?

It depends on the building. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person, which can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, an FM or a managing agent.

Leave it or put it right?

Wherever the kitchen is in Brick Hill, backed-up drains stop it working. Sinks won’t empty, and dirty water can back up. Keeping the trap clean reduces the risk. In a small place like Brick Hill, a system that fails can take a site out of use.

Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you are unsure, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos for straight advice and a fixed quote.

When it’s something else

We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so these are the things it will not cover:

  • A trap undersized for the amount of cooking
  • Drains that need jetting rather than trap cleaning
  • A leaking sink waste or trap connection

If you are not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Where we work

  • Inline grease traps
  • Kitchen waste pipes
  • Pot wash sinks
  • Restaurants and takeaways
  • School and care home kitchens
  • Under-sink grease traps

How it works

Your staff don’t need to do much on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Brick Hill.

  1. We start by finding the trap and checking its inlet and outlet.
  2. The sinks feeding the trap are kept out of use while we work.
  3. Built-up fat, oil and grease is removed from the trap.
  4. The inside, baffles and pipe connections are cleaned.
  5. The trap is reassembled, checked for leaks and the waste taken away.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
  • Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
  • Let us know about parking and loading

Ask for a quote

We don’t publish a price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To start, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.

Related advice

What the work involves, part by part

Restaurant and takeaway kitchens

Busy kitchens with lots of washing-up fill traps fast. A shorter cleaning interval typically suits them.

Grease interceptors

Interceptors separate grease the same way, on a larger scale. Cooling water lets grease rise and solids settle.

Keeping the system healthy

Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:

  • Tell us when sinks start draining slowly
  • Avoid pouring boiling water down to shift grease
  • Get food waste into the bin, not the sink
  • Keep the grease trap on a regular cleaning schedule

The waste we remove leaves with us. Nothing is left for you to dispose of when we’re done.

More cooking means more grease in the trap. Booking cleans more often keeps the drains flowing.
