  • A trap undersized for the amount of cooking
  • Grease deep in the drains, which needs jetting by a drainage contractor
  • A leaking sink waste or trap connection

Grease trap cleaning in Dawesgreen

In Dawesgreen, we time grease trap visits so the sinks aren’t needed. The trap is emptied, cleaned and checked, and the waste is taken away. It can be booked on its own or alongside other kitchen work. If you have grease setting in the kitchen pipework and an inline trap or interceptor due for cleaning, we can help, from restaurants and takeaways, pot wash sinks and inline grease traps onwards.

Somewhere as small as Dawesgreen, the kitchens that need a deep clean are normally a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still needs the occasional deep clean and its grease trap kept clear.

Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

What happens on the day

We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes anything from under an hour to a few hours, depending on the trap. If you can send pictures, we can arrive in Dawesgreen knowing what to expect.

  1. First, we locate the grease trap and look at the pipework around it.
  2. We ask for the sinks that drain into the trap not to be used.
  3. Built-up fat, oil and grease is removed from the trap.
  4. The inside, baffles and pipe connections are cleaned.
  5. The trap is reassembled, checked for leaks and the waste taken away.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear loose items from the work area
  • Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
  • Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down

Getting a quote

There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To start, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.

Why deal with it now?

Grease that leaves the kitchen ends up somewhere. It adds to blockages further down the drains and sewer. A well-maintained trap keeps it where it can be removed. In a small place like Dawesgreen, a system that fails can take a site out of use.

Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.

What staff can safely do

When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.

Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.

Different parts, different methods

Under-sink grease traps

Small grease traps sit under the sink. They fill quickly and need regular cleaning.

Inline grease traps

Access to an inline trap can be in a floor or cupboard. We ask about access when we quote.

How we price grease trap cleaning

Your quote is based on your site. We take into account:

  • When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
  • Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
  • The condition of the system
  • One-off work versus a regular cycle

The cost depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.

What we need to know

The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:

  • Where the site is and what kind of site it is
  • The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
  • Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
  • Your last certificate, test record or report

To help us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, photos of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then call 0345 646 2711 or email us.

Signs you need grease trap cleaning in Dawesgreen

A full trap can’t hold any more grease. It then builds up in the drains and the sewer beyond, where it can cause blockages.

Clients usually contact us after spotting one of these:

  • Gurgling drains in the kitchen
  • A full, neglected grease trap
  • A regular cleaning plan for the grease trap
  • A bad smell from the sinks or drains

If you look after a hall kitchen near Church of St Bartholomew or anywhere in Dawesgreen, a deep clean between busy seasons is easier than a scramble before a big event.

What your quote should include

  • Whether VAT is included
  • Exactly which parts of the system are covered
  • Whether the figure could change on the day
  • Whether a survey comes first

Questions to ask before booking

Dawesgreen kitchens: local notes

At about 21 miles from central London, Dawesgreen sits well inside the area we cover. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours. Food hygiene inspections in Dawesgreen are the job of Mole Valley council’s environmental health team. The state of floors, drains and hard-to-reach corners all feeds into the inspection. Keeping a record of deep cleans and grease trap visits helps at inspection time.

A summer deep clean suits schools such as Burys Court School, as the kitchen can be stripped back with no lunches to serve. Healthcare kitchens cook through the year, so a deep clean has to be fitted around meals; East Surrey Hospital, about 4 miles east, is the nearest hospital to Dawesgreen.

Dawesgreen is about 3 miles south-west of Reigate, in Surrey. Dawesgreen gets the same approach as every site we work on: a survey first, a fixed quote, work timed around your hours and a report with photos. Our Surrey coverage runs to 395 places, and Dawesgreen is one of them. We also work in Guildford, around 14 miles away.

Dawesgreen questions

Which environmental health team covers Dawesgreen?

That’s Mole Valley council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Dawesgreen. Photos from a deep clean are a simple record of what was done and when.

Can you get to a site in Dawesgreen?

Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Dawesgreen is covered. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.

Do you deal with blocked drains beyond the grease trap?

That depends on the cause. If the trap is full, cleaning it often helps, but blockages further along need a drainage contractor.

Can we book visits on a schedule?

Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, to suit the system and how it’s used.

How far ahead should we book?

Book as early as you can for planned work, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.

Will I get paperwork for my records?

Yes. You get a written report with pictures after every visit, covering the work, any areas we couldn’t access and the recommended next date. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, there’s also a certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

How much does grease trap cleaning cost?

No two traps are quite the same, so we price each one individually. We give you a fixed price, usually within one working day.

Which kinds of sites do you work on?

Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a small pub to a hospital. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
