About our grease trap cleaning in Egham Hythe
If the sinks drain slowly or smell, the trap is often the cause. We find the trap, empty it and clean it and run water through to check it drains. The work covers restaurants and takeaways, inline grease traps and under-sink grease traps, and people most often call us about an under-sink unit that needs regular emptying and a slow-draining kitchen sink.
Kitchens around a smaller place like Egham Hythe are often in older buildings, with drains and grease traps that have been there for years. A blocked drain or a smelly grease trap is normally the first sign.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

Egham Hythe: your questions answered
Do you work at weekends in Egham Hythe?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The work in Egham Hythe can fit around your hours. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we will book within them.
Do you work in school kitchens around Egham Hythe out of term?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. There are about 19 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Egham Hythe. Just call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with your term dates and we will plan around them.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
Anything we can’t reach goes on the report, with photos where possible, and we explain what access is needed, for example new access panels.
How much does grease trap cleaning cost?
It depends on the type and size of the trap, its condition and access. Tell us about the trap and we will give you a fixed quote.
How long will the sinks be out of use?
Typically, it takes an hour or so for an under-sink trap, longer for a larger unit. Bigger or overdue traps need more time, and we will tell you in advance.
What is TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
That depends on who controls the premises. The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty on the responsible person, which can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, an FM or a managing agent.
Is Egham Hythe in your area?
Yes. We work in Egham Hythe and the rest of Surrey, as part of our work across South East England and London. To book, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
The process
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the work takes less than an hour for many under-sink units. Tell us about any gates, ladders or locked plant areas at your site near Egham Hythe when you book.
- First, we find the trap and look at its connections.
- Sinks feeding the trap are taken out of use.
- Grease and solids are removed from the trap.
- We clean every part of the inside.
- The trap is refitted, tested with water and the waste taken away.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Find the previous report, if there is one
Getting a quote
For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. We usually come back within one working day.

Aftercare tips
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Let us know if the kitchen gets busier
- Collect waste cooking oil separately
- Keep strainers in every sink
- Scrape plates and pans into the bin before washing up
The waste we remove leaves with us. Nothing is left for you to dispose of when we’re done.
If the sinks are slow or smelly, the trap may be full. Getting it cleaned now can stop a full blockage down the line.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.
What happens if it’s left?
A full grease trap lets grease through to the drains. There it sets and narrows the pipe until water can’t get through. Regular trap cleaning beats dealing with a blockage. You choose the date of a planned visit, and a breakdown never asks.
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.

Commercial kitchens in Egham Hythe
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 24 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 7 hotels and B&Bs within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Egham Hythe. Wherever food is prepared there, a periodic deep clean and a clear grease trap keep things in order. In Egham Hythe, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Runnymede council. Grease behind equipment or on a ceiling is the kind of thing an inspection can note. A record of each deep clean helps show the kitchen is kept in order.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Ashford Hospital about 2.7 miles north-east, deep cleans and grease trap visits are planned so meals still go out. School kitchens, at schools like Thorpe Lea Primary School for example, typically have their deep cleans and grease trap work done while the canteen is closed. Where a church or community hall near St Paul's Church, or anywhere in Egham Hythe, has a kitchen used by volunteers, a periodic deep clean keeps it ready for the next event.

Fixed quotes for grease trap cleaning in Egham Hythe
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- The number of sites or systems
- Any permits to work or inductions
- The condition we find in the survey
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are not sure what’s needed, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos for straight advice and a fixed quote.
Asking for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
