About our grease trap cleaning in Brill
Grease is behind most blocked kitchen drains. Further on, grease can build into fatbergs in the sewer. A well-maintained trap keeps them out of the drains. We’re often asked to deal with gurgling drains in the kitchen and an inline trap or interceptor due for cleaning, on under-sink grease traps, kitchen waste pipes and restaurants and takeaways.
In a village or hamlet like Brill, commercial kitchens are few, perhaps a pub, a school or a care home. Wherever there is one, it needs its grease trap and hard-to-reach areas kept clean.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Why deal with it now?
A smelly, overflowing trap attracts pests. A clean trap is less of an attraction, alongside good kitchen hygiene. Somewhere as small as Brill, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why we survey first, from photos or on site, and the price is agreed before any work starts.

What we are called out for in Brill
Hot water and detergent carry grease further than you’d expect. When it cools, the grease hardens in the pipework or the drain.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- Scheduled grease trap emptying
- Drains clogged with fat
- A full, neglected grease trap
- Foul odours from the grease trap
Where a church or community hall near United Reformed Church, or anywhere in Brill, has a kitchen used by volunteers, a periodic deep clean keeps it ready for the next event.

Brill: your questions answered
Will you come out to Brill?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Brill included. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Do you work at weekends in Brill?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. That way a site in Brill does not have to lose a day’s trading. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Do we need to close while you work?
Usually not. Out-of-hours visits keep the disruption down. Larger jobs can be phased over several visits to keep things running.
What problems does a full grease trap cause?
An overfull trap stops separating grease. Slow drains, bad smells and blockages follow.
What accreditations do you have?
We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, always. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
What do you do to protect the area?
We start with protection: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
How often should a grease trap be cleaned?
It varies with the trap and the kitchen. Slow or smelly sinks between cleans mean it needs doing more often and we’ll adjust the schedule.

Looking after it afterwards
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Keep access to the trap clear
- Use strainers in the sink plugholes
- Keep the grease trap on a regular cleaning schedule
- Report slow or smelly sinks early
Between cleans, keep food scraps out of the sink. Sink strainers help catch solids before they reach the trap.
Grease that gets past the trap sets in the drains. Clearing it then is a bigger job, so it’s far better to keep the trap clean.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Every visit ends with a dated report and photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
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. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
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, alongside our reports.
Part by part
Baffles and outlets
Clean water leaves through the outlet. If it’s blocked or greasy, the trap backs up.
Inline grease traps
Inline traps often take waste from several sinks or appliances. That means more grease, so regular cleaning matters.
How the visit works
Each visit runs to the same pattern: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, carry out the grease trap cleaning, tidy up and leave you the report. On site, the work takes less than an hour for many under-sink units. Somewhere like Brill, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- 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.
- The trap is emptied of grease and food waste.
- The inside, baffles and pipe connections are cleaned.
- Once it’s refitted, water is run through to check it drains, and we take the waste with us.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
