How we handle grease trap cleaning in Dunsfold
If the sinks drain slowly or smell, the trap is often the cause. In Dunsfold, as everywhere we work, our team empties and cleans the trap, then check the water flows properly. If you are dealing with a larger grease trap that needs emptying and a routine grease trap service, we can put it right.
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.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with photos, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Commercial kitchens in Dunsfold
Dunsfold is about 33 miles from central London, well within the area we cover across London and the South East. Evening, overnight and weekend visits are all possible. Kitchens in Dunsfold get their food hygiene inspections from Waverley council. They look at the cleanliness of the whole kitchen: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment. Keeping a record of deep cleans and grease trap visits helps at inspection time.
Milford Hospital, about 4.3 miles north-west, is the nearest hospital to Dunsfold; healthcare kitchens can’t stop cooking, so deep cleans are worked around meal times. Hall kitchens near Church of St Mary and All Saints or elsewhere in Dunsfold may have older sinks and drains, so a grease trap check is worth adding to a deep clean.

Why it’s worth doing now in Dunsfold

Your questions about grease trap cleaning in Dunsfold
Can the work in Dunsfold be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. It means the site in Dunsfold keeps running as normal. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Dunsfold?
That’s Waverley council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Dunsfold. Inspection results feed into the food hygiene rating published by the Food Standards Agency.
Are you accredited?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We’re fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
Can you give me a price for grease trap cleaning?
Trap size, type, condition and access all affect the price. Send us details or a photo and we’ll come back with a fixed price.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not normally. Out-of-hours visits keep the disruption down. Bigger sites can be done in stages so parts stay in use.
What problems does a full grease trap cause?
Grease escapes into the drains when the trap is full. It sets there and narrows the pipes until they block. Regular cleaning prevents it.
Do you deal with blocked drains beyond the grease trap?
Our service covers the grease trap itself. If the drain beyond the trap is blocked or damaged, we’ll tell you so you can call a drainage contractor.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
Not in itself. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19® as the benchmark, and many insurers ask for proof of cleaning to it. The legal duty sits in the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which applies in England and Wales.
Fixed quotes for grease trap cleaning in Dunsfold
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- The condition of the system
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why we survey first, from photos or on site, and the price is agreed before we start.
Helping us quote
Many jobs can be priced from pictures and some basics. Send what you can of the following:
- Any previous report or certificate
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- The postcode and the type of business
To get a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We typically come back within one working day.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Report slow or smelly sinks early
- Keep access to the trap clear
- Let us know if the kitchen gets busier
- Hot water only moves grease further down
We will suggest when the trap should be cleaned again. That depends on how quickly it filled and how busy the kitchen is.
A trap that’s left too long stops catching grease. Cleaning it before it’s full keeps grease out of the drains and avoids a blockage.
Part by part
Restaurant and takeaway kitchens
Busy kitchens can’t afford a blocked drain. Regular trap cleaning helps prevent it.
School, care home and staff kitchens
Kitchens that serve set mealtimes fill their traps more steadily. Planned cleaning fits their routine.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.

The process
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your pictures. 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. Somewhere like Dunsfold, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- We find the trap and check how it’s connected.
- Nothing drains into the trap while it’s open.
- The trap is emptied of grease and food waste.
- Every part of the trap is scraped and cleaned, including the baffles.
- The trap is reassembled, checked for leaks and the waste taken away.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Clear the space around the work
