About our grease trap cleaning in Englefield Green
Smells from the sink, gurgling drains or slow drainage all point to the grease trap. In Englefield Green, as everywhere we work, our team empties and cleans the trap and run water through to check it drains. Common call-outs are for a regular cleaning plan for the grease trap and an under-sink unit that needs regular emptying, on under-sink grease traps, inline grease traps and restaurants and takeaways.
In a place like Englefield Green, kitchens often sit in older buildings with older drains. A blocked drain or a smelly grease trap is usually the first sign.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with photos of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Wherever food is prepared there, a periodic deep clean and a clear grease trap keep things in order.

What affects the quote in Englefield Green
Sites vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- The condition we find in the survey
- Travel, parking and unloading
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you will get one fixed quote.
What we need to know
When you contact us, these details help:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- A few general shots of the system
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, and then send you a fixed quote. To get going, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
What the work involves, part by part
Baffles and outlets
The outlet carries the separated water on to the drain. A blocked outlet stops the trap working.
Under-sink grease traps
Under-sink traps are compact units fitted below the kitchen sink. Their small size means they fill fast, so they need frequent emptying.
What happens if it’s left?
A smelly, overflowing trap attracts pests. Keeping the trap clean removes something they’re looking for, alongside good kitchen hygiene. It’s easy to lose track of when the work was last done on a quieter site.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and the price is agreed before we start.
Why us?
- Out-of-hours work and a 24/7 emergency line
- Fixed quotes, typically within one working day
- Photo reports with every job
- A single point of contact for sites across the South East and London
How the visit works
The first job on site is protection: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes an hour or so for an under-sink trap, longer for a larger unit, and we clear up before we go. Visits to a place like Englefield Green are planned ahead, so we arrive with what the survey says the job needs.
- We find the trap and check how it’s connected.
- We ask for the sinks that drain into the trap not to be used.
- The trap is emptied of grease and food waste.
- Every part of the trap is scraped and cleaned, including the baffles.
- We put it back together, run water through and remove the waste.
Preparing for the visit
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
Getting a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before work begins.

What else we do in Englefield Green
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
What a clean won’t put right
We won’t sell you work that does not address the problem, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- Collapsed or damaged drains, which need a drainage contractor
- A trap undersized for the amount of cooking
- Plumbing leaks around the sink
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will say what we think before you book.

- Inline grease traps

Your questions about grease trap cleaning in Englefield Green
Which environmental health team covers Englefield Green?
That is Runnymede council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Englefield Green. Photos from a deep clean are a simple record of what was done and when.
Do you cover smaller places like Englefield Green?
Yes, Englefield Green is part of our area, however small the site. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Will cleaning the grease trap fix a blocked drain?
Our service covers the grease trap itself. If the drain beyond the trap is blocked or damaged, we’ll tell you and suggest a drainage contractor.
Will the grease trap clean disrupt the kitchen?
The sinks that drain into the trap cannot be used while it’s open. We book the visit around your service so the kitchen is not held up.
Will I get paperwork for my records?
Yes, on every job. The report is dated and includes pictures, and TR19® Grease cleans come with a certificate through the BESCA VHE portal. Keep it in your maintenance log.
What do you do with the waste?
We take it away. Your staff do not have to handle it after we have finished.
What types of premises do you cover?
Commercial premises of every kind: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. We fit the work around how the site operates.
Will you tell us when the next visit is due?
Yes. We put a recommended next date on the report. BESA’s minimum intervals for kitchen extracts range from 3-monthly for heavy use to 12-monthly for light use, and fire dampers need testing at least once a year.
What your team can do, and what needs us
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.
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
