About our grease trap cleaning in Dane Hill
A neglected grease trap stops doing its job. Further down the pipe, the grease cools and hardens, leading to slow drains, blockages and smells. A trap that is cleaned regularly keeps grease where it belongs. The work covers under-sink grease traps, restaurants and takeaways and pot wash sinks, and people most often call us about grease setting in the kitchen pipework and an overdue grease trap.
For a kitchen in or near Dane Hill, the visit is planned ahead, around opening times and the journey, and the deep clean is the same as anywhere: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That is why every job is written up in a report with photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

What the work involves, part by part
Under-sink grease traps
Under-sink traps are compact units fitted below the kitchen sink. Their small size means they fill fast and need regular cleaning.
Inline grease traps
Inline traps often take waste from several sinks or appliances. That means more grease, so regular cleaning matters.
What happens if it’s left?
A blocked drain can stop a kitchen in its tracks. Sinks won’t empty, and dirty water can back up. Cleaning the grease trap on time helps prevent it. In a place like Dane Hill, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.

Your questions about grease trap cleaning in Dane Hill
Do you cover smaller places like Dane Hill?

What does a grease trap clean cost?
The price depends on the trap and the schedule. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll quote so you know the cost up front.
How long will the sinks be out of use?
The size and state of the trap make the difference, but a clean generally takes a short visit for a small trap and longer for an inline unit or interceptor. We’ll confirm when we quote.
Do you take the waste away?
It’s removed from site when we leave. There’s nothing left for your team to deal with after we’ve finished.
How much notice should we give?
The more notice, the better, particularly for night and weekend visits. Quotes typically come back within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
What’s the right interval for grease trap cleaning?
It varies with the trap and the kitchen. Slow or smelly sinks between cleans mean it needs doing more often and we’ll adjust the schedule.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Photos often do the job, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.

Do you need grease trap cleaning in Dane Hill?
If a trap isn’t emptied, grease passes straight through. It then builds up in the drains and the sewer beyond, where it can cause blockages.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- A full, neglected grease trap
- A bad smell from the sinks or drains
- Scheduled grease trap emptying
- An interceptor full of grease and solids
Hall kitchens near Church of St Mary or elsewhere in Dane Hill may have older sinks and drains, so a grease trap check is worth adding to a deep clean.
Before you book anyone
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
- What insurance they carry
Aftercare tips
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Report slow or smelly sinks early
- Do not store things on top of the trap
- Fit sink strainers to catch food scraps
- Get food waste into the bin, not the sink
Keep used oil out of the drains, and the trap will stay cleaner for longer. It’s the single easiest way to help.
More cooking means more grease in the trap. Shortening the cleaning interval now stops it overflowing.
What we do, step by step
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes anything from under an hour to a few hours, depending on the trap. Seeing the system in photos first means the trip to Dane Hill can be planned properly.
- We start by finding the trap and checking its inlet and outlet.
- Nothing drains into the trap while it’s open.
- Built-up fat, oil and grease is removed from the trap.
- We clean the chambers, baffles and connections.
- The trap is reassembled, checked for leaks and the waste taken away.
How to prepare
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Clear the space around the work
