Fixed quotes for grease trap cleaning in Easebourne

The survey tells us what the work involves. We look at:

  • The number of sites or systems
  • Site rules, permits and inductions
  • A single visit or a regular plan
  • The times the site is available

Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you’ll get one fixed quote.

What we need to know

We can often survey from pictures. The most useful are:

  • Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
  • The postcode and the type of business
  • When the site is open and when it’s quiet
  • Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall

Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

About our grease trap cleaning in Easebourne

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. If you’re dealing with a blocked kitchen drain caused by grease and a bad smell from the sinks or drains, we can put it right, from restaurants and takeaways, under-sink grease traps and pot wash sinks onwards.

Work in a small place like Easebourne starts with agreeing a date and access, and the deep clean is the same as anywhere: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment.

The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with photos of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

How the job changes from site to site

Grease interceptors

Interceptors separate grease the same way, on a larger scale. Cooling water lets grease rise and solids settle.

Baffles and outlets

We check the inlet, outlet and baffles at each clean so water flows freely.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work

Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.

Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.

What we do, step by step

At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and it goes on the report too. The visit takes an hour or two in most kitchens, depending on the size and condition of the trap. If you can send photos, we can arrive in Easebourne knowing what to expect.

  1. We locate the trap and check how it’s fitted.
  2. Sinks feeding the trap are taken out of use.
  3. Grease and solids are removed from the trap.
  4. We clean every part of the inside.
  5. The trap is refitted, tested with water and the waste taken away.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
  • Agree a time when the area can be out of use
  • Tell us where we can park and unload

Honest limits

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • A grease trap that’s too small for the kitchen
  • A leaking sink waste or trap connection
  • Sewer problems outside the premises

If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Where we work

  • Restaurants and takeaways
  • Kitchen waste pipes
  • Pot wash sinks
  • School and care home kitchens
  • Under-sink grease traps
  • Inline grease traps

Between visits

Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Keep waste oil out of the drains
  • Mention any increase in cooking
  • Don’t store things on top of the trap
  • Don’t wait for a blockage to book a clean

Once the trap is cleaned and refitted, the sinks can be used right away. Water is run through to check everything flows before we leave.

An overfull trap lets grease pass. Cleaning it before it’s full keeps grease out of the drains and avoids a blockage.

FAQs for Easebourne

Do you work in school kitchens around Easebourne out of term?

Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. With about 7 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Easebourne, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. You can phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the dates the site is empty.

Will you come out to Easebourne?

Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.

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 do you need?

For planned work, earlier is better, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.

What problems does a full grease trap cause?

Once it’s full, grease passes straight through. It then sets in the drains, causing blockages and smells and can end up adding to sewer blockages.

Can one contract cover all our sites?

Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and you’ll get one fixed quote.

Do you offer emergency callouts?

Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, and the emergency line covers the rest.

Do we need to stop using the sinks while you work?

For the length of the clean, yes. It takes an hour or so for an under-sink trap, longer for a larger unit and we book it around your service.
