- Sinks that drain slowly

- An under-sink unit that needs regular emptying
Aftercare tips
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Keep access to the trap clear
- Tell us when sinks start draining slowly
- Tell us if your menu or hours change
- Don’t wait for a blockage to book a clean
Scrape plates into the bin before washing up. Sink strainers help catch solids before they reach the trap.
An overfull trap lets grease pass. Regular emptying keeps it working and saves a call-out for a blocked drain.
Grease trap cleaning in Burpham, done properly
Smells from the sink, gurgling drains or slow drainage all point to the grease trap. We find the trap, empty it and clean it, then check the water flows properly. Typical jobs include drains clogged with fat and a bad smell from the sinks or drains, across inline grease traps, under-sink grease traps and pot wash sinks.
Work in a smaller place like Burpham is planned around your opening hours.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

Burpham kitchens: local notes
Look up Burpham on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 26 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 11 takeaways and sandwich shops within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Burpham. Kitchens like these wash fat, oil and grease down the sink every day, and a grease trap is what stops it reaching the sewer. Environmental health officers from Guildford council inspect food businesses in Burpham. The state of floors, drains and hard-to-reach corners all feeds into the inspection. A record of each deep clean helps show the kitchen is kept in order.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as St. Luke’s Hospital (about 1.5 miles south), cook for long hours, so deep cleans and grease trap work are planned around patients’ meals. If you run a kitchen in an older building near Burpham, such as a historic house like Clandon Park (about 1.7 miles east), older drains make a working grease trap all the more important. For schools such as George Abbot School, deep cleans and grease trap work are normally booked for the holidays.

When it’s something else
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what grease trap cleaning won’t do:
- Drains that are cracked or have collapsed
- Blockages in the public sewer beyond the property
- Drains that need jetting rather than trap cleaning
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Parts of the system we cover
- Under-sink grease traps
- Pot wash sinks
- Restaurants and takeaways
- Inline grease traps
- School and care home kitchens
- Kitchen waste pipes
Multi-site and managed buildings
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Why deal with it now?
Wherever the kitchen is in Burpham, backed-up drains stop it working. Sinks won’t empty, and dirty water can back up. Keeping the trap clean reduces the risk. You choose the date of a planned visit, and a breakdown never asks.
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You’ll have a fixed price before we start.

- Fixed quotes from a survey or pictures
- Work around your opening hours, with 24/7 emergency cover
- CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001

How it works
Your staff do not need to do much on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. Evenings, weekends or a closed day all work for a site in a place like Burpham.
- First, we find the trap and look at its connections.
- Sinks feeding the trap are taken out of use.
- Grease and solids are removed from the trap.
- We clean every part of the inside.
- The trap is refitted, tested with water and the waste taken away.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Clear loose items from the work area
Getting a quote
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few photos and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Related advice
What your team can do, and what needs us
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’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
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, next to our reports.
How the job changes from site to site
School, care home and staff kitchens
Drains in care settings need to keep flowing. We fit visits around mealtimes.
Grease interceptors
Bigger kitchens may have a larger grease interceptor. They hold more grease and solids but they still need cleaning.
