Grease trap cleaning in Egham
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 are dealing with scheduled grease trap emptying and a small trap that fills too quickly, we can help.
In a town like Egham, deep cleans and grease trap work usually mean restaurants, pubs, cafés, takeaways and school or care home kitchens. Each builds up grease where the daily clean cannot reach.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, 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.

Different parts, different methods
Baffles and outlets
Clean water leaves through the outlet. If it’s blocked or greasy, the trap backs up.
School, care home and staff kitchens
Drains in care settings need to keep flowing. We fit visits around mealtimes.
Why act early in Egham
Smells from a neglected trap are hard to ignore. Decomposing waste in the trap smells bad that can reach the kitchen and beyond. A clean trap takes the source away. An inspector or insurer will want to see recent records, so it makes sense to have them ready.
What you pay depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.

Between visits
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Get food waste into the bin, not the sink
- Avoid pouring boiling water down to shift grease
- Let us know if the kitchen gets busier
- Keep the grease trap on a regular cleaning schedule
Between cleans, keep food scraps out of the sink. Use strainers in the sink plugholes so less solid waste gets through.
If the kitchen has got busier, the trap fills faster. Booking cleans more often keeps the drains flowing.

FAQs for Egham
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Egham?
Food hygiene inspections in Egham are carried out by Runnymede council. An officer may look behind equipment and at drains, so it pays to have the deep clean booked before those areas build up.
Do you clean school kitchens in Egham in the summer holidays?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. There are about 15 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Egham. Tell us your holiday dates and we’ll book the visit for when the site is empty.
What should go in our maintenance log?
Anything that proves the system is maintained: reports, certificates, pictures and your own cleaning or check logs. A single log for each site works best.
Will you tell us when the next visit is due?
Yes. We put a recommended next date on the report. For kitchen extracts, BESA’s minimum intervals run from every 3 months for heavy use to every 12 months for light use, and fire dampers need testing at least once a year.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, any time. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line and we will talk you through the next steps.
What is TR19?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
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 busy kitchens fill them faster still. We’ll suggest an interval after the first clean.
What do you do with what you remove?
We take it away at the end of the visit. During the work, it’s contained so the area stays clean.
When to call us in Egham
Every pan and plate washed sends grease towards the drain. They cool and float to the top of the trap, and the layer gets thicker day by day.
Most sites get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Washing-up water that will not drain away
- A grease trap that hasn’t been emptied in a long time
- Foul odours from the grease trap
- Drains that gurgle and bubble
Hall kitchens near St John's Church or elsewhere in Egham may have older sinks and drains, so a grease trap check is worth adding to a deep clean.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Whether the price is fixed
- If they look at the system before pricing
What affects the quote in Egham
Every site gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The size of the system
- How easy every part is to reach
- Parking and loading at the site
- The times the site is available
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before work begins.
What we need to know
What to send for a quote:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, and then give you a fixed quote. To start, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
What happens on the day
We are used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. On site, the work takes a short visit for a small trap and longer for an inline unit or interceptor. Let us know how to reach the roof or plant area at your site in Egham, and where the van can go.
- A visit is booked around your service.
- We open the trap and look at its condition.
- We remove the grease layer and settled solids.
- The inside, baffles and outlet are cleaned.
- The trap is closed, tested and the next clean discussed.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
Ask for a quote
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and photos, and we typically reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
