How we handle grease trap cleaning in East Horsley
Grease traps sit between the sinks and the drain, holding back fats, oils and grease. Cooling water lets the grease rise and separate while the water carries on to the drain. Eventually it fills and has to be emptied and cleaned. If you have a grease trap that hasn’t been emptied in a long time and a routine grease trap service, we can help, from kitchen waste pipes, school and care home kitchens and pot wash sinks onwards.
Work in a smaller place like East Horsley is planned around your opening hours.
We’ve been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.

Grease trap cleaning in East Horsley: local notes
Food Standards Agency data counts about 13 restaurants, cafés and canteens in East Horsley and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Kitchens like these wash fat, oil and grease down the sink every day, and a grease trap is what stops it reaching the sewer. Kitchens in East Horsley get their food hygiene inspections from Guildford council. They look at the cleanliness of the whole kitchen: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment. Having the dates of the last deep clean to hand saves digging for them on the day.
If you run event catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Hatchlands Park is about 2.3 miles south-west), a deep clean before or after the busy season is worth planning. If you look after a hall kitchen near Church of St Martin or anywhere in East Horsley, a deep clean between busy seasons is easier than a scramble before a big event.

Between visits
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Don’t store things on top of the trap
- Get food waste into the bin, not the sink
- Keep the grease trap on a regular cleaning schedule
- Hot water only moves grease further down
We take the grease and solids away. Nothing is left for you to dispose of after the visit.
A fixed cleaning interval means the trap never gets overfull. We agree the timing with you.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
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 will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
What grease trap cleaning cannot fix
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what grease trap cleaning will not do:
- Grease deep in the drains, which needs jetting by a drainage contractor
- A unit that can’t cope with the kitchen’s output
- Drains that are cracked or have collapsed
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think.
What the work covers
- Under-sink grease traps

East Horsley questions
Which environmental health team covers East Horsley?
The local authority for East Horsley is Guildford council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. Photos from a deep clean are a simple record of what was done and when.
Can you work in school kitchens in East Horsley during the holidays?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. Food Standards Agency records list about 6 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of East Horsley. Send us your term dates when you ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we’ll fit the work in.
Does the report say when we need you again?
Yes. How often depends on use and condition, and we explain the reasoning on the report.
Do you work in East Horsley?
Yes. Our technicians work in East Horsley, within the South East and London area we cover.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, depending on what the system needs.
What’s the right interval for grease trap cleaning?
That depends on the trap and the kitchen. Small under-sink units fill faster than larger traps and the busier the kitchen, the faster it fills. We will recommend a schedule once we have seen it.
How much time does a grease trap clean need?
The size and state of the trap make the difference, and you can expect it to take less than an hour for many under-sink units. You’ll know before the visit.
Leave it or put it right?
Wherever the kitchen is in East Horsley, backed-up drains stop it working. Sinks won’t empty, and dirty water can back up. Cleaning the grease trap on time helps prevent it. You choose the date of a planned visit, and a breakdown never asks.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.
