How we handle grease trap cleaning in Burgh Hill
A neglected grease trap stops doing its job. Fat sets in the pipes downstream and the result is blocked drains and bad smells. A trap that’s cleaned regularly keeps grease where it belongs. The work covers restaurants and takeaways, under-sink grease traps and inline grease traps, and common reasons people get in touch are grease setting in the kitchen pipework and gurgling from the sink waste.
Rural kitchens may drain to a septic tank or a private drain rather than straight into a public sewer, so keeping fat out with a working grease trap matters even more.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That is why every job is written up in a report with photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

- We start by finding the trap and checking its inlet and outlet.
- Nothing drains into the trap while it’s open.
- Built-up fat, oil and grease is removed from the trap.
- The inside, baffles and pipe connections are cleaned.
- We put it back together, run water through and remove the waste.

Advice
Fixed quotes for grease trap cleaning in Burgh Hill
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- What state the system is in
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Site rules, permits and inductions
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. You will have a fixed price before any work starts.
Asking for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Useful things to send:
- A few general shots of the system
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

Aftercare tips
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Act on gurgling or smelly drains
- Get food waste into the bin, not the sink
- Keep the grease trap on a regular cleaning schedule
- Keep access to the trap clear
The sinks are ready to use as soon as we have finished. Water is run through to check everything flows before we leave.
If the sinks are slow or smelly, the trap may be full. Acting at this stage usually prevents a blockage down the line.
