Advice
Grease trap cleaning in Compton
A grease trap is the kitchen drain’s first line of protection. Kept clean, it does its job quietly but left too long, it causes trouble. A regular clean keeps it healthy. If you are dealing with drains that gurgle and bubble and a routine grease trap service, we can put it right, from kitchen waste pipes, restaurants and takeaways and under-sink grease traps onwards.
In rural areas, a kitchen may drain to a private system rather than a public sewer, so keeping fat out with a working grease trap matters even more.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Questions from Compton
Can you work in Compton outside opening hours?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Compton needn’t be disturbed. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Do you clean school kitchens in Compton in the summer holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. There are about 2 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Compton. Send us your term dates when you phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us, and we’ll fit the work in.
Does the report say when we need you again?
Yes. How often depends on use and condition and the report sets out why.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, it’s the responsible person: often the employer, owner or occupier. In shared or managed buildings, a landlord, facilities manager or managing agent can share the duty.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we’ve been trading since 2009.
What do you do to protect the area?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before we start, and waste is contained as we go. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
What is TR19?
A BESA specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It is not law, but it’s the benchmark.
Which sectors do you work in?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, as well as food production and leisure sites.
For landlords and multi-site operators
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We are happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.

Sites vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- The times the site is available
- The condition we find in the survey
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The size of the system
The cost depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.

Signs you need grease trap cleaning in Compton
For a kitchen in Compton or anywhere else, the trap is out of sight and out of mind. Tucked away under the sink or below the floor, it’s often ignored until something goes wrong.
The symptoms we are asked about most include:
- An under-sink trap that keeps filling up
- A routine grease trap service
- An interceptor full of grease and solids
- A slow-draining kitchen sink
Hall kitchens near Church of St Nicholas or elsewhere in Compton may have older sinks and drains, so a grease trap check is worth adding to a deep clean.

When something else is needed

Grease trap cleaning around Compton
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 5 pubs, bars and clubs within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Compton. Pub and hotel kitchens get the same build-up behind equipment and in the grease trap as any other. Kitchens in Compton 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.
If you run event catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Loseley Park is about 1 mile east), a deep clean before or after the busy season is worth planning. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Royal Surrey County Hospital about 2 miles north-east, deep cleans and grease trap visits are planned so meals still go out.

Different parts, different methods
Baffles and outlets
We check the inlet, outlet and baffles at each clean so water flows freely.
Grease interceptors
Grease interceptors are larger units that serve busier kitchens. They hold more grease and solids but they still need cleaning.
