How we handle grease trap cleaning in Camberley
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. Regular cleaning keeps it working. If you’re dealing with drains clogged with fat and a grease trap that hasn’t been emptied in a long time, we can help, from school and care home kitchens, kitchen waste pipes and restaurants and takeaways onwards.
Kitchens in a town like Camberley often book a deep clean alongside their extract clean, which keeps the disruption to a single night.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

What happens on the day
Your trading hours come first. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes a short visit for a small trap and longer for an inline unit or interceptor. A few pictures of the system and its access points help us plan a visit in Camberley.
- We agree a time when the sinks aren’t needed.
- The trap is opened up and checked.
- We remove the grease layer and settled solids.
- We clean the baffles, inlet and outlet.
- The trap is closed, tested and the next clean discussed.
How to prepare
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Move anything stored near the system
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system

Part by part
Grease interceptors
Interceptors separate grease the same way, on a larger scale. Cooling water lets grease rise and solids settle.
Under-sink grease traps
We empty and clean under-sink traps without disrupting the rest of the kitchen and check the seal on the lid.
What grease trap cleaning can’t fix
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Plumbing leaks around the sink
- Grease set hard in the drain run
- Blockages further down the drainage network
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Parts of the system we cover

Multi-site and managed buildings

Do you need grease trap cleaning in Camberley?
Food scraps go down the sink with the washing-up water. Solids settle at the bottom of the trap and takes up space.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- Sinks that drain slowly
- A blocked kitchen drain caused by grease

Commercial kitchens in Camberley
Food Standards Agency records list about 66 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 28 sandwich bars and takeaways across Camberley and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Each of them sends fat, oil and grease towards the drain, which is why grease traps need regular emptying. Food hygiene inspections in Camberley are the job of Surrey Heath council’s environmental health team. Walls, floors, ceilings and equipment are all part of what they look at. Having the dates of the last deep clean to hand saves digging for them on the day.
School kitchens, at schools like Prior Heath Infant School for example, usually have their deep cleans and grease trap work done while the canteen is closed. Frimley Park Hospital, about 1.2 miles south-west, is the nearest hospital to Camberley; healthcare kitchens cannot stop cooking, so deep cleans are worked around meal times.

Camberley: your questions answered
Can you work in Camberley outside opening hours?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The work in Camberley can fit around your hours. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Which environmental health team covers Camberley?
Food hygiene inspections in Camberley are carried out by Surrey Heath council. Keep the dates of your last deep clean and grease trap visit with your food safety records, ready if an officer asks.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. The law sets the duty; TR19® is the benchmark used to show it’s met. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and many insurers can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of cleaning.
Why does a grease trap need regular cleaning?
An overfull trap stops separating grease. The result is slow drains, foul odours and eventually a blockage.
What paperwork should we keep on file?
Every certificate and report from each visit, kept together in your maintenance log with your in-house cleaning records. BESA advises that certificates record the date, location and technician.
How long does a grease trap clean take?
The size and state of the trap make the difference, and you can expect it to take less than an hour for many under-sink units. You’ll know before the visit.
Does the report say when we need you again?
Yes. How often depends on use and condition, and we explain the reasoning on the report.
How far ahead should we book?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
Leave it or put it right?
Wherever the kitchen is in Camberley, backed-up drains stop it working. Water won’t drain away, and dirty water can back up. Keeping the trap clean reduces the risk. With a fire risk assessment or inspection due, getting the work done first puts you on the front foot.

Looking after it afterwards
So the system stays in good health:
- Tell us if your menu or hours change
- Don’t wait for a blockage to book a clean
- Wipe grease off pans before washing them
- Keep strainers in every sink
If we spot problems beyond the trap, such as a drain that still runs slowly, we will tell you. It may need a drainage specialist to investigate.
Grease that gets past the trap sets in the drains. Once it’s there, it needs a drainage contractor to clear, so it’s far better to keep the trap clean.
