- Foul odours from the grease trap
- A blocked kitchen drain caused by grease
- A small trap that fills too quickly
How it works
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. On site, the work takes an hour or so for an under-sink trap, longer for a larger unit. Tell us when your site near Chobham is quiet and the visit will be booked for then.
- We agree a time when the sinks aren’t needed.
- We open the trap and look at its condition.
- Built-up grease and food waste are taken out.
- We clean the baffles, inlet and outlet.
- The trap is closed, tested and the next clean discussed.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Move anything stored near the system
- Tell us where we can park and unload
How to get a quote
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, pictures of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.

Grease trap cleaning in Chobham, done properly
No two traps are quite the same. Under-sink units are small and fill quickly, while inline traps and interceptors hold more. We assess the trap and how fast it fills and suggest an interval that suits. The work covers under-sink grease traps, kitchen waste pipes and restaurants and takeaways, and people most often call us about drains that gurgle and bubble and washing-up water that won’t drain away.
Around a place like Chobham, deep clean work tends to mean pubs, cafés and school or care home kitchens. A smaller kitchen still builds up grease where everyday cleaning doesn’t reach.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with photos after every visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Your questions about grease trap cleaning in Chobham
Who inspects food businesses in Chobham?
In Chobham, it’s Surrey Heath council that carries out food hygiene inspections. How often a business is inspected depends on the council’s risk rating for it, so the kitchen needs to be ready at any time.
Is Chobham within the area you cover?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Chobham included. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Will the grease trap clean disrupt the kitchen?
Just the sinks that drain into the trap, and only while we work. We plan the visit for a quieter time wherever possible.
What is TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping and expects a risk-based approach.
How long does a grease trap clean take?
A typical clean takes an hour or two in most kitchens, depending on the size and condition of the trap, including testing. We plan the visit around your service.
Which grease traps does the service cover?
Both under-sink and inline traps, plus interceptors. If you are not sure what you have, send us a photo and we’ll confirm.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. You will know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
Where does the waste go?
It leaves the site with us at the end of the visit. During the work, it’s contained so the area stays clean.

Looking after it afterwards
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Hot water only moves grease further down
- Never pour used oil down the sink
- Scrape plates and pans into the bin before washing up
- Make sure the trap can be reached easily
We take the grease and solids away. There’s no greasy waste left on site when we’re done.
Fat that escapes the trap hardens in the pipework. Clearing it then is a bigger job, so it’s far better to keep the trap clean.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
What happens if it’s left?
In Chobham, as anywhere, grease trap cleaning is a short, routine visit. Waiting for a blockage turns it into an urgent problem and normally at the worst moment. A site near Chobham that has to close at short notice is hard to cover for.
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered and we will price it together.

Wherever they cook, the kitchen and its drains need the same attention as a restaurant’s. Environmental health officers from Surrey Heath council inspect food businesses in Chobham. Grease behind equipment or on a ceiling is the kind of thing an inspection can note. Keeping a record of deep cleans and grease trap visits helps at inspection time.
Hall and church kitchens, near Church of St Lawrence or anywhere around Chobham, are used by many hands, and periodic deep cleans and grease trap visits keep them in order.

Different parts, different methods
Inline grease traps
Inline traps often take waste from several sinks or appliances. More waste means faster filling.
Restaurant and takeaway kitchens
Visits are booked when the sinks aren’t in use so the kitchen is not disrupted.
Signs you need grease trap cleaning in Chobham
Every pan and plate washed sends grease towards the drain. In the trap, they cool and separate, and the layer gets thicker day by day.
These are the problems we see most often:
- A larger grease trap that needs emptying
- A full, neglected grease trap
- A bad smell from the sinks or drains
- Drains clogged with fat
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as St Lawrence CofE (Aided) Primary School or anywhere near Chobham, the holidays are the time for a deep clean or a grease trap clean.
