Leave it or put it right?
Smells from a neglected trap are hard to ignore. Rotting food and grease give off foul odours that can reach the kitchen and beyond. A clean trap takes the source away. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.

About our grease trap cleaning in Egerton
A grease trap catches fats, oils and grease from the kitchen sinks before they reach the drain. Cooling water lets the grease rise and separate, and clean water flows on. Eventually it fills and has to be emptied and cleaned. The work covers under-sink grease traps, kitchen waste pipes and inline grease traps, and common reasons people get in touch are drains that gurgle and bubble and a full, neglected grease trap.
Rural kitchens may drain to a septic tank or a private drain rather than straight into a public sewer, so keeping fat out with a working grease trap matters even more.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

What the work involves, part by part
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.
School, care home and staff kitchens
Kitchens that serve set mealtimes fill their traps more steadily. A regular interval suits them well.
What a clean won’t put right
Grease trap cleaning cannot fix everything, and we’ll tell you before work begins. It won’t put right:
- A trap undersized for the amount of cooking
- Sewer problems outside the premises
- A leaking sink waste or trap connection
If you’re not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will give you a straight answer.
Where we work
- School and care home kitchens
- Inline grease traps

Grease trap cleaning around Egerton
Food hygiene inspections in Egerton are the job of Ashford council’s environmental health team. The state of floors, drains and hard-to-reach corners all feeds into the inspection. A cleaning log that includes deep cleans and grease trap visits shows the work is planned. We cover Egerton, about 41 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. Visits are booked around your hours, evenings and weekends included.
Hall kitchens near Church of St James or elsewhere in Egerton may have older sinks and drains, so a grease trap check is worth adding to a deep clean. School kitchens, at schools like Egerton Church of England Primary School for example, normally have their deep cleans and grease trap work done while the canteen is closed.

Keeping the system healthy
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Get food waste into the bin, not the sink
- Mention any increase in cooking
- Keep the grease trap on a regular cleaning schedule
- Keep access to the trap clear
Anything we notice beyond the trap, like a slow drain downstream, is pointed out. It may need a drainage specialist to look further.
More cooking means more grease in the trap. Shortening the cleaning interval now stops it overflowing.
Multi-site and managed buildings
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
What else we do in Egerton
What happens on the day
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Egerton and turn up when the site is quiet.
- We find the trap and check how it’s connected.
- We ask for the sinks that drain into the trap not to be used.
- Built-up fat, oil and grease is removed from the trap.
- We clean the chambers, baffles and connections.
- Once it’s refitted, water is run through to check it drains, and we take the waste with us.
How to prepare
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Move anything stored near the system
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
