Grease trap cleaning across Easington

Grease trap cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Easington

No two traps are quite the same. Under-sink traps are compact and need frequent attention and larger traps hold more grease before they fill. We assess the trap and how fast it fills and suggest an interval that suits. If you are dealing with a blocked kitchen drain caused by grease and a small trap that fills too quickly, we can put it right, from school and care home kitchens, under-sink grease traps and restaurants and takeaways onwards.

In a village or hamlet like Easington, commercial kitchens are few, perhaps a pub, a school or a care home. Wherever there is one, it needs its grease trap and hard-to-reach areas kept clean.

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, trading since 2009.

How the job changes from site to site

School, care home and staff kitchens

Care home and hospital kitchens need their drains working all the time. We fit visits around mealtimes.

Under-sink grease traps

We empty and clean under-sink traps without disrupting the rest of the kitchen and check the seal on the lid.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Easington

Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.

Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.

Keeping the system healthy

To keep the system working properly between visits:

  • Tell us if your menu or hours change
  • Act on gurgling or smelly drains
  • Make sure the trap can be reached easily
  • Use strainers in the sink plugholes

We’ll suggest when the trap should be cleaned again. That depends on how quickly it filled and how busy the kitchen is.

Slow sinks and a bad smell are early warnings. Getting it cleaned now can stop a full blockage down the line.

What grease trap cleaning cannot fix

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • A trap undersized for the amount of cooking
  • Grease set hard in the drain run
  • A leaking sink waste or trap connection

If you are not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

What the work covers

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

What happens on the day

Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and the same goes into the written report. The visit takes an hour or two in most kitchens, depending on the size and condition of the trap. Somewhere like Easington, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.

  1. A visit is booked around your service.
  2. We open the trap and look at its condition.
  3. We remove the grease layer and settled solids.
  4. The inside, baffles and outlet are cleaned.
  5. We close it up, check it drains and suggest when it needs cleaning again.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
  • Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
  • Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas

Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.

Fixed quotes for grease trap cleaning in Easington

Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:

  • Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
  • Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
  • How big the system is
  • How many systems or sites are involved

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

What we need to know

When you contact us, these details help:

  • Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
  • Problems your staff have spotted
  • Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
  • The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to

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.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work

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.

Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.

FAQs for Easington

Is Easington within the area you cover?

Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Easington is covered. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.

Do you work overnight in Easington?

Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. That way a site in Easington does not have to lose a day’s trading. Just call 0345 646 2711, or email photos with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.

What should go in our maintenance log?

Visit reports, certificates and your in-house cleaning logs. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs may all ask to see them, so keep them where they can be found quickly.

What does TR19 mean?

BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It isn’t legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.

How much notice do you need?

It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.

Which grease traps does the service cover?

Both under-sink and inline traps, plus interceptors. If you are not sure what you have, send us a photo when you phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.

What happens if a grease trap is not cleaned?

A full trap can’t catch any more grease. It then sets in the drains, causing blockages and smells and can end up adding to sewer blockages.

Do you work with multi-site operators?

Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and you’ll get one fixed quote.

What grease trap cleaning looks like in Easington

Fat from washing up sets hard in pipes, and kitchens like these produce plenty of it. Easington is about 44 miles from central London, well within the area we cover across London and the South East. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you. Environmental health officers from Buckinghamshire council inspect food businesses in Easington. 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.

School kitchens, at schools like Long Crendon School for example, typically have their deep cleans and grease trap work done while the canteen is closed. Historic houses such as Boarstall Tower (about 4.6 miles north-west) are part of the area around Easington, and if you run event catering at a venue like that, a deep clean between seasons helps. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Thame Community Hospital about 3.3 miles south-east, deep cleans and grease trap visits are planned so meals still go out.
