Grease Trap Cleaning in Christmas Pie
We cover Christmas Pie for emptying and cleaning of under-sink and inline grease traps in commercial kitchens. Out-of-hours visits, a fixed quote and a written report with pictures as standard.
- An under-sink unit that needs regular emptying
- Scheduled grease trap emptying
- Washing-up water that will not drain away
Grease trap cleaning in Christmas Pie, done properly
Once a trap is full, grease passes straight through. Further down the pipe, the grease cools and hardens and the result is blocked drains and bad smells. A trap that’s cleaned regularly keeps grease where it belongs. The work covers inline grease traps, under-sink grease traps and restaurants and takeaways, and people most often call us about a full, neglected grease trap and grease setting in the kitchen pipework.
Somewhere as small as Christmas Pie, the kitchens that need a deep clean are normally a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Wherever there is one, it needs its grease trap and hard-to-reach areas kept clean.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

Signs you need grease trap cleaning in Christmas Pie
A busy kitchen in Christmas Pie, or anywhere else, fills its grease trap faster. Traps sized for lighter use can fill very quickly when trade picks up.
What we’re most often called out for:
- Foul odours from the grease trap
- A small trap that fills too quickly
- Scheduled grease trap emptying
- Gurgling from the sink waste
If you look after a hall kitchen near Church of St Bartholomew or anywhere in Christmas Pie, a deep clean between busy seasons is easier than a scramble before a big event.

FAQs for Christmas Pie
Which environmental health team covers Christmas Pie?
Kitchens in Christmas Pie are inspected by Guildford council’s environmental health officers. An officer may look behind equipment and at drains, so it pays to have the deep clean booked before those areas build up.
Will you come out to Christmas Pie?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
What do you do with the waste?
The fat, oil, grease and solids we remove go with us. It isn’t poured back down the drain, of course.
What happens to the waste?
It leaves the site with us when we go. While we work, it’s kept contained to keep the area clean.
What accreditations do you have?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We are fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
What’s the right interval for grease trap cleaning?
The right interval depends on your trap and your cooking. Slow or smelly sinks between cleans mean it needs doing more often, and we can shorten it.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
Anything we can’t reach goes on the report, with a note of where it is, and we tell you what would make it reachable, for example new access panels.
Which records should we keep?
Each report and certificate we give you, filed in the maintenance log with your in-house cleaning records. BESA says certificates should show the date, location and technician.

What else we do in Christmas Pie
Why act early in Christmas Pie
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. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.

The process
Everything the job needs comes with us, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. The visit takes an hour or two in most kitchens, depending on the size and condition of the trap. Seeing the system in pictures first means the trip to Christmas Pie can be planned properly.
- We agree a time when the sinks are not 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.
- We close it up, check it drains and suggest when it needs cleaning again.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site

What staff can safely do
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Multi-site and managed buildings
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 to a regular schedule.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we will send a fixed quote.
Honest limits
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so here are the limits:
- Blockages in the public sewer beyond the property
- A grease trap that is too small for the kitchen
- Grease set hard in the drain run
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
What the work covers
- Pot wash sinks
- Inline grease traps
- School and care home kitchens
- Under-sink grease traps
- Kitchen waste pipes
- Restaurants and takeaways
Part by part
Baffles and outlets
Baffles inside the trap slow the water so grease can separate. They gather grease and debris so they’re cleaned every time.
Inline grease traps
Several sinks may drain into one inline trap. More waste means faster filling.
What grease trap cleaning looks like in Christmas Pie
Food Standards Agency records include about 3 bars, pubs and nightclubs within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Christmas Pie. Any of them serving food has a kitchen that collects grease out of sight and drains that need protecting. Kitchens in Christmas Pie get their food hygiene inspections from Guildford council. The state of floors, drains and hard-to-reach corners all feeds into the inspection. A record of each deep clean helps show the kitchen is kept in order. About 31 miles out from central London, Christmas Pie is part of the South East area we work across. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site.
If you run a kitchen near Wanborough station with long trading hours, grease builds up faster behind equipment and in the trap. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Puttenham CofE Infant School or anywhere near Christmas Pie, the holidays are the time for a deep clean or a grease trap clean.
