About our grease trap cleaning in Farley Green
A grease trap catches fats, oils and grease from the kitchen sinks before they reach the drain. Cooling water lets the grease rise and separate while the water carries on to the drain. Eventually it fills and has to be emptied and cleaned. The work covers school and care home kitchens, under-sink grease traps and kitchen waste pipes, and the jobs we see most are sinks that drain slowly and a kitchen drain that smells.
For a kitchen in or near Farley Green, the visit is planned ahead, around opening times and the journey, and the deep clean is the same as anywhere: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That is why every job is written up in a report with photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Questions from Farley Green
Which council inspects kitchens in Farley Green?
That’s Guildford council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Farley Green. An officer may look behind equipment and at drains, so it pays to have the deep clean booked before those areas build up.
Can you get to a site in Farley Green?
Yes, Farley Green is part of our area, however small the site. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Do the sinks have to be out of use during the clean?
Just the sinks that drain into the trap, and only while we work. We plan the visit for a quieter time wherever possible.
Can you give me a price for grease trap cleaning?
Every trap is different, so we price each one individually. We give you a fixed price, usually within one working day.
What paperwork should we keep on file?
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.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. One number covers all your sites in our area, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
What happens to the waste?
We take it away when we go. During the work, it’s contained so the area stays clean.
How long does a grease trap clean take?
A typical clean takes a short visit for a small trap and longer for an inline unit or interceptor including checking it drains. It’s booked when the sinks are not needed.
What staff can safely do
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
How it works
Protection comes first: 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 two in most kitchens, depending on the size and condition of the trap, and we clear up before we go. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Farley Green run smoothly.
- A visit is booked around your service.
- The trap is opened up and checked.
- 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
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms

Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
Advice
Leave it or put it right?
Grease that leaves the kitchen ends up somewhere. It can build up in the drains and join fatbergs in the sewer. A well-maintained trap keeps it where it can be removed. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we survey first, from photos or on site, and the price is agreed before work begins.

We cover Farley Green, about 27 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. Visits are booked around your hours, evenings and weekends included. Food hygiene inspections in Farley Green are the job of Guildford council’s environmental health team. 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.

Chilworth Manor, about 2.7 miles north-west, is one of the historic houses around Farley Green; event kitchens at places like that work in bursts, so a deep clean after a busy season helps.
