Grease trap cleaning in Daniel's Water
Grease is behind most blocked kitchen drains. Further on, grease can build into fatbergs in the sewer. A grease trap that’s emptied and cleaned regularly keeps them out of the drains. We’re often asked to deal with a blocked kitchen drain caused by grease and foul odours from the grease trap, on inline grease traps, under-sink grease traps and school and care home kitchens.
Rural kitchens may drain to a septic tank or a private drain rather than straight into a public sewer, and fat getting past a grease trap can cause real trouble there.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

What affects the quote in Daniel's Water
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- How easy every part is to reach
- The scale of the work
- What state the system is in
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 play a part.
What we need to know
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. The most useful are:
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. We normally come back within one working day.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Part by part
Restaurant and takeaway kitchens
A blocked drain in a busy kitchen can stop service. Regular trap cleaning helps prevent it.
School, care home and staff kitchens
Drains in care settings need to keep flowing. Visits are planned between meals.
Why act early in Daniel's Water
A smelly, overflowing trap attracts pests. Keeping the trap clean removes something they’re looking for as part of a clean kitchen. Rural sites cannot always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
You will not find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, and we will talk you through it.

What we do, step by step
Your trading hours come first. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the work takes a short visit for a small trap and longer for an inline unit or interceptor. In a small place like Daniel's Water, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- A visit is booked around your service.
- The trap is opened up and checked.
- Built-up grease and food waste are taken out.
- The inside, baffles and outlet are cleaned.
- The trap is closed, tested and the next clean discussed.
How to prepare
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Let us know about parking and loading

Advice
What a clean will not put right

- Collapsed or damaged drains, which need a drainage contractor
- Drains that need jetting rather than trap cleaning
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Daniel's Water?

Will I get paperwork for my records?
Yes. It’s your proof that the work was done: a dated report with pictures, listing the work and any areas we couldn’t reach.
How much time does a grease trap clean need?

What should go in our maintenance log?
Anything that proves the system is maintained: our reports and pictures, any certificates and your in-house logs. A single log for each site works best.
Does the report say when we need you again?
Yes. How often depends on use and condition and the report sets out why.
How much does grease trap cleaning cost?
Trap size, type, condition and access all affect the price. Send us details or a photo and we’ll send you a fixed quote.
What about areas you cannot get to?
We record them on the report, with a note of where it is, and we explain what access is needed, for example new access panels.
Aftercare tips
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Tell us if your menu or hours change
- Keep the grease trap on a regular cleaning schedule
- Use strainers in the sink plugholes
- Never pour used oil down the sink
Once the trap is cleaned and refitted, the sinks can be used straight away. We run water through to check it drains before we leave.
A fixed cleaning interval means the trap never gets overfull. We agree the timing with you.
