How we handle grease trap cleaning in Egham Wick
Smells from the sink, gurgling drains or slow drainage all point to the grease trap. In Egham Wick, as everywhere we work, our team empties and cleans the trap and run water through to check it drains. If you are dealing with a blocked kitchen drain caused by grease and an under-sink unit that needs regular emptying, we can help.
Rural kitchens may drain to a septic tank or a private drain rather than straight into a public sewer, and fat getting past a grease trap can cause real trouble there.
Each visit ends with a written report and photos, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

How it works
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, do the work, clear away and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself takes an hour or so for an under-sink trap, longer for a larger unit. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Egham Wick and turn up when the site is quiet.
- We agree a time when the sinks are not needed.
- The trap is opened up and checked.
- We remove the grease layer and settled solids.

- The trap is closed, tested and the next clean discussed.
Before we arrive

Related advice
Do you need grease trap cleaning in Egham Wick?
Food waste slips past sink strainers or gets rinsed down. Solids settle at the bottom of the trap and takes up space.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- A blocked kitchen drain caused by grease
- Gurgling drains in the kitchen
- Foul odours from the grease trap
- A grease trap that hasn’t been emptied in a long time
Half-term is a good time for school kitchens, at schools like St Cuthbert's Catholic Primary School for instance, to have the grease trap emptied and the kitchen deep cleaned.

Egham Wick: your questions answered
Do you work at weekends in Egham Wick?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. That way a site in Egham Wick does not have to lose a day’s trading. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we’ll book within them.
Which environmental health team covers Egham Wick?
Food hygiene inspections in Egham Wick are carried out by Runnymede council. Photos from a deep clean are a simple record of what was done and when.
Where does the waste go?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. We do not leave it behind.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We carry full insurance, and we have been trading since 2009.
Which records should we keep?
Visit reports, certificates and your in-house cleaning logs. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs may all ask to see them, so keep them together and easy to find.
What’s TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It is not law, but it’s the benchmark.
What happens if a grease trap is not cleaned?
An overfull trap lets grease into the drains. There it hardens on the pipe walls until they block. Regular cleaning prevents it.
Will you tell us when the next visit is due?
Yes. Every report includes a recommended date for the next visit, based on use and what we found.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Surrey. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
When something else is needed
We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- Blockages further down the drainage network
- A unit that cannot cope with the kitchen’s output
- Drains that are cracked or have collapsed
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will say what we think before booking.
Parts of the system we cover

Grease trap cleaning in Egham Wick: local notes
Food Standards Agency records include about 10 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 3 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses within about 1.5 miles of central Egham Wick. Wherever food is prepared there, a periodic deep clean and a clear grease trap keep things in order. It’s Runnymede council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Egham Wick. They look at the cleanliness of the whole kitchen: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment. 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 King Edward VII Hospital about 3.8 miles north, deep cleans and grease trap visits are planned so meals still go out. Frogmore House, about 3.6 miles north, is one of the historic houses around Egham Wick; event kitchens at places like that work in bursts, so a deep clean after a busy season helps.

Different parts, different methods
Baffles and outlets
We check the inlet, outlet and baffles at each clean so the trap works as it should.
Grease interceptors
Bigger kitchens may have a larger grease interceptor. With more capacity, they fill more slowly, but they still need regular emptying and cleaning.
