What grease trap cleaning looks like in Bunce Common
Bunce Common is about 22 miles from central London, well within the area we cover across London and the South East. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site. It’s Mole Valley council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Bunce Common. They look at the cleanliness of the whole kitchen: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment. Photos and dates from each deep clean make a useful record.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as East Surrey Hospital (about 4.9 miles east), cook for long hours, so deep cleans and grease trap work are planned around patients’ meals.

Grease trap cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Bunce Common
Once a trap is full, grease passes straight through. Fat sets in the pipes downstream, leading to slow drains, blockages and smells. A trap that is cleaned regularly keeps grease where it belongs. Typical jobs include sinks that drain slowly and scheduled grease trap emptying, across school and care home kitchens, pot wash sinks and inline grease traps.
For a kitchen in or near Bunce Common, the visit is planned ahead, around opening times and the journey.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with pictures, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Signs you need grease trap cleaning in Bunce Common
Every pan and plate washed sends grease towards the drain. They cool and float to the top of the trap and the grease layer grows.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Grease setting in the kitchen pipework
- Scheduled grease trap emptying
- An interceptor full of grease and solids
- A bad smell from the sinks or drains
Hall kitchens near Church of St Bartholomew or elsewhere in Bunce Common may have older sinks and drains, so a grease trap check is worth adding to a deep clean.
What your quote should include
- Proof of insurance
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or pictures
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- Whether the quote shows VAT
How the job changes from site to site
Baffles and outlets
Clean water leaves through the outlet. If it’s blocked or greasy, the trap backs up.
Under-sink grease traps
Under-sink traps are cleaned in a short visit and check the seal on the lid.
What a clean will not put right
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- A unit that can’t cope with the kitchen’s output
- A leaking sink waste or trap connection
- Blockages in the public sewer beyond the property
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will say what we think.
What the work covers
- Restaurants and takeaways
- Kitchen waste pipes
- Under-sink grease traps
- Pot wash sinks
- Inline grease traps
- School and care home kitchens
What your team can do, and what needs us
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
What happens on the day
Everything the job needs comes with us, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. On site, the work takes an hour or so for an under-sink trap, longer for a larger unit. Seeing the system in photos first means the trip to Bunce Common can be planned properly.
- First, we locate the grease trap and look at the pipework around it.
- The sinks feeding the trap are kept out of use while we work.
- 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 the space around the work
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards

What affects the quote in Bunce Common
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- How easy every part is to reach
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- How many systems or sites are involved
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before work begins.
What to send for a quote
Many jobs can be priced from pictures and some basics. Send what you can of the following:
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Problems your staff have spotted
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before any work starts.
Common questions in Bunce Common
Can the work in Bunce Common be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The site is handed back ready to open. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Bunce Common?
Food hygiene inspections in Bunce Common are carried out by Mole Valley council. 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.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not normally. The area we are working in has to be out of use while we are there, so we book a time when it would be closed anyway.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Photos often do the job, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
Do you work in Bunce Common?
Yes. We work in Bunce Common and across Surrey, within our South East and London area. For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
What does a grease trap clean cost?
It depends on the type and size of the trap, its condition and access. Tell us about the trap and we’ll come back with a fixed price.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
We record them on the report, with pictures where possible, and we explain what access is needed, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
How long will the sinks be out of use?
The size and state of the trap make the difference, but a clean generally takes less than an hour for many under-sink units. You will know before the visit.
