How we handle grease trap cleaning in Byfleet
Once a trap is full, grease passes straight through. Further down the pipe, the grease cools and hardens, leading to slow drains, blockages and smells. A trap that’s cleaned regularly keeps grease where it belongs. Common call-outs are for a small trap that fills too quickly and foul odours from the grease trap, across inline grease traps, pot wash sinks and kitchen waste pipes.
In a smaller place like Byfleet, commercial kitchens are more likely to be a pub, a café, a takeaway or a school or care home kitchen. Smaller kitchens still collect grease behind equipment and in the drains.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Common questions in Byfleet
Can you work in school kitchens in Byfleet during the holidays?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. The FSA’s register shows about 4 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Byfleet. You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the dates the site is empty.
Is Byfleet within the area you cover?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Byfleet is covered. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Can you give me a price for grease trap cleaning?
No two traps are quite the same, so we quote once we know what you have. You get a fixed quote, usually within one working day.
What happens if a grease trap is not cleaned?
An overfull trap stops separating grease. The result is slow drains, foul odours and eventually a blockage.
What do you do to protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before we start, and waste is contained as we go. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work and have been trading since 2009.
Do you provide a certificate or report?
Yes. It’s the record insurers and inspectors ask to see: a dated report with photos, listing the work and any areas we couldn’t reach.
How long does a grease trap clean take?
A typical clean takes less than an hour for many under-sink units, including testing. It’s booked when the sinks are not needed.
Why act early in Byfleet
Some kitchens try to fix slow drains with hot water or drain cleaners. That only moves the grease further down the pipe, where it sets again. Emptying and cleaning the trap deals with the source. A quieter site near Byfleet still needs its system looked after.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before any work starts.

How the visit 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. Everything the job in Byfleet needs is worked out beforehand, from the survey.
- 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.
- Every part of the trap is scraped and cleaned, including the baffles.
- We put it back together, run water through and remove the waste.
How to prepare
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions

What your team can do, and what needs us
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. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
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.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.

Between visits
So the system stays in good health:
- Keep access to the trap clear
- Report slow or smelly sinks early
- Let us know if the kitchen gets busier
- Do not rely on hot water to clear grease
Between cleans, keep food scraps out of the sink. Use strainers in the sink plugholes so less solid waste gets through.
More cooking means more grease in the trap. Shortening the cleaning interval now keeps the drains flowing.

What grease trap cleaning looks like in Byfleet
The FSA’s data shows about 10 bars, pubs and nightclubs registered within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Byfleet. Where they run a kitchen, it needs the same deep cleaning and grease trap care as any restaurant. Food hygiene inspections in Byfleet are the job of Woking council’s environmental health team. 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.
For a café close to Byfleet & New Haw station, a deep clean can be done between closing and the morning rush. If you look after a hall kitchen near Church of St Mary the Virgin or anywhere in Byfleet, a deep clean between busy seasons is easier than a scramble before a big event. Half-term is a good time for school kitchens, at schools like St Mary's CofE Controlled Primary School for instance, to have the grease trap emptied and the kitchen deep cleaned.
