Advice
Grease trap cleaning in Crowhurst, done properly
If the sinks drain slowly or smell, the trap is often the cause. We find the trap, empty it and clean it and run water through to check it drains. The work covers restaurants and takeaways, under-sink grease traps and pot wash sinks, and people most often call us about an inline trap or interceptor due for cleaning and drains clogged with fat.
Work in a small place like Crowhurst starts with agreeing a date and access, and the deep clean is the same as anywhere: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment.
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.

Crowhurst: your questions answered
Is Crowhurst within the area you cover?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Crowhurst included. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Which council inspects kitchens in Crowhurst?
Food hygiene inspections in Crowhurst are carried out by Tandridge council. An officer may look behind equipment and at drains, so it pays to have the deep clean booked before those areas build up.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, either from pictures and details you send or on a site visit. A fixed quote follows.
Where does the waste go?
We take it away at the end of the visit. During the work, it’s contained so the area stays clean.
Which accreditations do you hold?
We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.
How much does grease trap cleaning cost?
It depends on the type and size of the trap, its condition and access. Send us details or a photo and we will send you a fixed quote.
How long does a grease trap clean take?
Most grease trap cleans take an hour or so for an under-sink trap, longer for a larger unit including checking it drains. It’s booked when the sinks aren’t needed.
What types of grease trap do you clean?
Under-sink units, inline traps and interceptors are all covered. Tell us what you have and we’ll plan the visit.
Crowhurst kitchens: local notes
Environmental health officers from Tandridge council inspect food businesses in Crowhurst. Walls, floors, ceilings and equipment are all part of what they look at. Keeping a record of deep cleans and grease trap visits helps at inspection time. At about 20 miles from central London, Crowhurst sits well inside the area we cover. Evening, overnight and weekend visits are all possible.
Where a church or community hall near Church of St George, or anywhere in Crowhurst, has a kitchen used by volunteers, a periodic deep clean keeps it ready for the next event. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Foetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders Clinic about 3.4 miles north, deep cleans and grease trap visits are planned so meals still go out. If you run a kitchen in an older building near Crowhurst, such as a historic house like Chartwell (about 4.7 miles north-east), older drains make a working grease trap all the more important.

How the job changes from site to site
Restaurant and takeaway kitchens
Visits are booked when the sinks are not in use so you do not lose trade.
Baffles and outlets
Baffles inside the trap slow the water so grease can separate. Grease clings to them so they’re cleaned every time.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
What affects the quote in Crowhurst
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- The condition we find in the survey
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Whether several sites go on one quote
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before we start.
Asking for a quote
To speed up the quote, please include:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
To get a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. We usually come back within one working day.
Aftercare tips
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Fit sink strainers to catch food scraps
- Do not store things on top of the trap
- Keep the grease trap on a regular cleaning schedule
- Avoid pouring boiling water down to shift grease
Anything we notice beyond the trap, like a slow drain downstream, is pointed out. That may need a drainage contractor to look further.
Slow sinks and a bad smell are early warnings. Getting it cleaned now can stop a full blockage later.
