About our grease trap cleaning in Dadford
A neglected grease trap stops doing its job. Fat sets in the pipes downstream, leading to slow drains, blockages and smells. A trap that is cleaned regularly keeps grease where it belongs. The work covers inline grease traps, kitchen waste pipes and under-sink grease traps, and common reasons people get in touch are a larger grease trap that needs emptying and scheduled grease trap emptying.
Rural kitchens may drain to a septic tank or a private drain rather than straight into a public sewer, so keeping fat out with a working grease trap matters even more.
We’ve been trading since 2009, and 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.

Aftercare tips
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Don’t wait for a blockage to book a clean
- Report slow or smelly sinks early
- Keep strainers in every sink
- Collect waste cooking oil separately
You will get our view on how often the trap needs cleaning. That depends on how quickly it filled and how much the kitchen cooks.
Slow sinks and a bad smell are early warnings. Acting at this stage usually prevents a blockage later.
What we do, step by step
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and we take it from there. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Dadford.
- First, we locate the grease trap and look at the pipework around it.
- The sinks feeding the trap are kept out of use while we work.
- We take out the layer of fat, oil and grease and any solids.
- Every part of the trap is scraped and cleaned, including the baffles.
- The trap is reassembled, checked for leaks and the waste taken away.
Before we arrive
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Let us know about parking and loading
Ask for a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your photos and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price, before any work starts.
Advice
Leave it or put it right?
Grease that leaves the kitchen ends up somewhere. It can build up in the drains and join fatbergs in the sewer. A well-maintained trap keeps it where it can be removed. Somewhere as small as Dadford, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.

What we are called out for in Dadford
Hot water and detergent carry grease further than you’d expect. Once it cools, it sets in the pipework or the drain.
Clients normally contact us after spotting one of these:
- A blocked kitchen drain caused by grease
- Washing-up water that will not drain away
- A grease trap that hasn’t been emptied in a long time
- A routine grease trap service
Hall and church kitchens, near Parish Church of St Mary or anywhere around Dadford, are used by many hands, and periodic deep cleans and grease trap visits keep them in order.
What to look for in a quote

- Whether the price is fixed
- Proof of accreditation you can verify

For landlords and multi-site operators
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
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’s where we come in.
How the job changes from site to site
Baffles and outlets
Clean water leaves through the outlet. A blocked outlet stops the trap working.
Grease interceptors
Interceptors take longer to clean and we plan the visit accordingly.
