What affects the cost of grease trap cleaning
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- How easy every part is to reach
- How big the system is
- Whether several sites go on one quote
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered and we will price it together.
Helping us quote
We can often survey from photos. Try to include:
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- The site address and the type of premises
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
Grease trap cleaning in Butlocks Heath
A clean trap means flowing drains and no foul smells. We empty the built-up grease and food solids, clean the inside and the baffles and the trap checked before we leave. The work covers school and care home kitchens, restaurants and takeaways and inline grease traps, and common reasons people get in touch are a regular cleaning plan for the grease trap and a bad smell from the sinks or drains.
Work in a small place like Butlocks Heath starts with agreeing a date and access.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with photos, 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 ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Why it’s worth doing now in Butlocks Heath
Grease that leaves the kitchen ends up somewhere. It can build up in the drains and join fatbergs in the sewer. Keeping it in the trap, and emptying the trap, is the responsible thing to do. In a small place like Butlocks Heath, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Butlocks Heath
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.

Related advice
Signs you need grease trap cleaning in Butlocks Heath
If a trap is not emptied, grease passes straight through. It then builds up in the drains and on towards the sewer, where it can cause blockages.
Clients normally contact us after spotting one of these:
- A kitchen drain that smells
- Washing-up water that will not drain away
- Drains that gurgle and bubble
- An interceptor full of grease and solids
Half-term is a good time for school kitchens, at schools like Netley Abbey Infant School for instance, to have the grease trap emptied and the kitchen deep cleaned.

Do you look at the system first?
Yes. For many sites, photos and a few details are enough, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
What do you do to protect the area?
We start with protection: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
What paperwork should we keep on file?
Each report and certificate we give you, kept together in your maintenance log, along with your own cleaning log. BESA says certificates should show the date, location and technician.
Where does the waste go?
It leaves the site with us when we go. During the work, it’s contained to keep the area clean.
How much time does a grease trap clean need?
The size and state of the trap make the difference, and you can expect it to take anything from under an hour to a few hours, depending on the trap. You will know before the visit.
How far ahead should we book?
For planned work, earlier is better, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
