Managing agents and facilities teams in Fairlands
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
Grease trap cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Fairlands
Kitchens in Fairlands use us for grease trap cleaning, whether it’s an under-sink unit or a larger inline trap. Visits are booked around your service so washing up isn’t interrupted. The work covers school and care home kitchens, inline grease traps and restaurants and takeaways, and common reasons people get in touch are sinks that drain slowly and an interceptor full of grease and solids.
For a kitchen in or near Fairlands, the visit is planned ahead, around opening times and the journey.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with pictures after every visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Commercial kitchens in Fairlands
Look up Fairlands on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 8 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 5 takeaways across Fairlands and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Wherever they wash pans and plates, fat heads for the drain unless a trap catches it. Kitchens in Fairlands get their food hygiene inspections from Guildford council. They look at the cleanliness of the whole kitchen: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment. Having the dates of the last deep clean to hand saves digging for them on the day.
Hall kitchens near St Alban's Church or elsewhere in Fairlands may have older sinks and drains, so a grease trap check is worth adding to a deep clean. Half-term is a good time for school kitchens, at schools like Worplesdon Primary School for instance, to have the grease trap emptied and the kitchen deep cleaned.

Common problems we fix in Fairlands
Waste cooking oil poured down the sink fills a grease trap far faster than washing-up. Even small amounts add up.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- Washing-up water that will not drain away
- A routine grease trap service
- Gurgling drains in the kitchen
- An inline trap or interceptor due for cleaning
If you cater for weddings or events at a historic house in the area (Guildford Castle is about 2.8 miles south-east), deep cleans can be fitted between bookings.
Questions to ask before booking
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- How areas they can’t reach will be recorded
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- What paperwork you get at the end
What happens if it’s left?
A blocked drain can stop a kitchen in its tracks. Water will not drain away, and dirty water can back up. Cleaning the grease trap on time helps prevent it. In a small place like Fairlands, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before we start.

FAQs for Fairlands
Will you come out to Fairlands?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Fairlands included. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Can the work in Fairlands be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The work in Fairlands can fit around your hours. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a single café to a large school. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site in our area, with visits on a regular schedule.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, depending on what the system needs.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No. TR19® itself is not law; it’s a BESA specification. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and TR19® is the benchmark for showing that grease in the extract is under control.
What do you do to protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. The work is kept contained and leave the area clean.
Do you take the waste away?
We remove all the waste we take out. None of it goes back into the drains at any point.
What we do, step by step
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes an hour or so for an under-sink trap, longer for a larger unit. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Fairlands.
- We find the trap and check how it’s connected.
- We ask for the sinks that drain into the trap not to be used.
- We take out the layer of fat, oil and grease and any solids.
- Every part of the trap is scraped and cleaned, including the baffles.
- The trap is reassembled, checked for leaks and the waste taken away.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Clear the space around the work
- Find the previous report, if there is one
Ask for a quote
We don’t publish a price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To get going, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Advice
Between visits
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Make sure the trap can be reached easily
- Book trap cleans at a set interval
- Keep strainers in every sink
- Never pour used oil down the sink
Once the trap is cleaned and refitted, the sinks can be used straight away. We run water through to check it drains before we go.
A trap that is left too long stops catching grease. Regular emptying keeps it working and avoids a blockage.

What staff can safely do
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
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 can diagnose it and quote.
How we price grease trap cleaning
There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- The scale of the work
- What state the system is in
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Whether several sites go on one quote
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.
Helping us quote
You do not need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- The postcode and the type of business
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few pictures and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
