How we handle grease trap cleaning in Epsom
A grease trap is the kitchen drain’s first line of protection. Kept clean, it does its job quietly, but neglected, it causes blockages and smells. A regular clean keeps it healthy. The work covers restaurants and takeaways, under-sink grease traps and kitchen waste pipes, and people most often call us about sinks that drain slowly and an under-sink unit that needs regular emptying.
Around a town like Epsom, the kitchens we deep clean tend to be pubs, restaurants, takeaways and school or care home kitchens. All of them collect grease behind and under equipment.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with pictures, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

FAQs for Epsom
Do you clean school kitchens in Epsom in the summer holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. There are about 21 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Epsom. Just call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with your term dates and we’ll plan around them.
Do you work at weekends in Epsom?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. Your customers, staff or residents in Epsom needn’t be disturbed. Let us know the hours you are closed and we will book within them.
Do you clean under-sink and inline grease traps?
Under-sink units, inline traps and interceptors are all covered. Let us know what’s fitted and we’ll plan around it.
Who is the responsible person?
It depends on the building. The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, facilities manager or managing agent.
Is Epsom in your area?

What should go in our maintenance log?
Every certificate and report from each visit, kept together in your maintenance log, along with your own cleaning log. BESA advises that certificates record the date, location and technician.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so sites at different addresses can be planned together as one programme. Each site gets its own report and pictures.
What do you do with the waste?
The waste leaves with us. Nothing greasy is left on site when we go.
Grease trap cleaning in Epsom: local notes
Food Standards Agency records include about 17 pubs and bars within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Epsom. Wherever they cook, the kitchen and its drains need the same attention as a restaurant’s. Kitchens in Epsom get their food hygiene inspections from Epsom and Ewell council. Grease behind equipment or on a ceiling is the kind of thing an inspection can note. Having the dates of the last deep clean to hand saves digging for them on the day.
Fitznells Manor, about 1.3 miles north-east, is one of the historic houses around Epsom; event kitchens at places like that work in bursts, so a deep clean after a busy season helps. For busy kitchens close to Epsom station, deep cleans and grease trap work can be done after closing. Where a church or community hall near St. Barnabas Church, or anywhere in Epsom, has a kitchen used by volunteers, a periodic deep clean keeps it ready for the next event.

What grease trap cleaning cannot fix

Part by part
Grease interceptors
Grease interceptors are larger units that serve busier kitchens. With more capacity, they fill more slowly but they still need cleaning.
Baffles and outlets
Baffles inside the trap slow the water so grease can separate. Grease clings to them so they’re cleaned every time.
What happens on the day
Your trading hours come first. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes less than an hour for many under-sink units. Let us know how to reach the roof or plant area at your site in Epsom, and where the van can go.
- We agree a time when the sinks are not needed.
- We open the trap and look at its condition.
- Built-up grease and food waste are taken out.
- The inside, baffles and outlet are cleaned.
- The trap is closed, tested and the next clean discussed.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Find the previous report, if there is one
Getting a quote
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To start, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.

Keeping the system healthy
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Wipe grease off pans before washing them
- Mention any increase in cooking
- Keep strainers in every sink
- Never pour used oil down the sink
Scrape plates into the bin before washing up. Sink strainers help catch solids before they reach the trap.
Setting regular cleans takes the guesswork out. We agree the timing with you.

Why act early in Epsom
Pests are drawn to grease and food waste. A clean trap is less of an attraction as part of a clean kitchen. A small fault found now is a quick job; the same fault found later can close the site.
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. You’ll have a fixed price before any work starts.
