- A small trap that fills too quickly
- Scheduled grease trap emptying
- Gurgling drains in the kitchen
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Grease trap cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Ewhurst
Grease traps sit between the sinks and the drain, holding back fats, oils and grease. Cooling water lets the grease rise and separate, and clean water flows on. Over time, the trap fills up and needs emptying and cleaning. If you have an overdue grease trap and a regular cleaning plan for the grease trap, we can put it right.
Somewhere as small as Ewhurst, the kitchens that need a deep clean are normally a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Wherever there is one, it needs its grease trap and hard-to-reach areas kept clean.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with pictures, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

How we price grease trap cleaning
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- How easy every part is to reach
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re unsure, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email for straight advice and a fixed quote.
What we need to know
To speed up the quote, send us:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- The site address and the type of premises
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Common questions in Ewhurst
Do you cover smaller places like Ewhurst?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Can the work in Ewhurst be done at night or at weekends?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. That way a site in Ewhurst does not have to lose a day’s trading. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we’ll book within them.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
Not in itself. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19® as the benchmark, and many insurance policies ask for proof of TR19® cleaning. The legal duty sits in the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which applies in England and Wales.
Do you clean under-sink and inline grease traps?
We clean under-sink traps, inline traps and interceptors. Tell us what you have and we’ll plan around it.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
They’re marked on the report. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, which we can install.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not usually. Out-of-hours visits keep the disruption down. Larger jobs can be phased over several visits so parts stay in use.
Who is the responsible person?
It depends on the building. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, facilities manager or managing agent.
How regularly does a grease trap need emptying?
It varies with the trap and the kitchen. If the sinks start to drain slowly between cleans, it’s too long, and we can shorten it.

What we do, step by step
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. On site, the work takes an hour or two in most kitchens, depending on the size and condition of the trap. Visits to a village like Ewhurst are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- We start by finding the trap and checking its inlet and outlet.
- Nothing drains into the trap while it’s open.
- Built-up fat, oil and grease is removed from the trap.
- We clean the chambers, baffles and connections.
- Once it’s refitted, water is run through to check it drains, and we take the waste with us.
Before we arrive
- Clear the space around the work
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in

Leave it or put it right?
Pouring hot water or chemicals down a slow drain is a common quick fix. That only moves the grease further down the pipe to set somewhere harder to reach. Emptying and cleaning the trap deals with the source. In a place like Ewhurst, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you will get one fixed quote.

Looking after it afterwards
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Keep strainers in every sink
- Tell us if your menu or hours change
- Scrape plates and pans into the bin before washing up
- Don’t wait for a blockage to book a clean
Collect waste cooking oil separately rather than pouring it down the sink, and the trap will stay cleaner for longer. It’s the single easiest way to help.
A trap that’s left too long stops catching grease. Cleaning it before it’s full keeps grease out of the drains and saves a call-out for a blocked drain.
What grease trap cleaning can’t fix
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what grease trap cleaning won’t do:
- A trap undersized for the amount of cooking
- Sewer problems outside the premises
- Grease deep in the drains, which needs jetting by a drainage contractor
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Where we work

How the job changes from site to site
Baffles and outlets
Clean water leaves through the outlet. If it’s blocked or greasy, the trap backs up.
Under-sink grease traps
Small grease traps sit under the sink. They fill quickly, so they need frequent emptying.
