Grease trap cleaning in Chilworth Old Village
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 that gurgle and bubble and a slow-draining kitchen sink, we can help.
For a kitchen in or near Chilworth Old Village, the visit is planned ahead, around opening times and the journey, and the deep clean is the same as anywhere: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

What affects the quote in Chilworth Old Village
The survey tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- How big the system is
- What state the system is in
- Any permits to work or inductions
What you pay depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
Asking for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
Between visits
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Keep waste oil out of the drains
- Wipe grease off pans before washing them
- Tell us if your menu or hours change
- Do not store things on top of the trap
You will get our view on how often the trap needs cleaning. It’s based on how full it was and how busy the kitchen is.
Slow sinks and a bad smell are early warnings. Getting it cleaned now can stop a full blockage down the line.

What else we do in Chilworth Old Village
What staff can safely do
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
