In-house cleaning or a specialist?
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
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.
About our grease trap cleaning in Farlington
Think of the grease trap as a filter for the kitchen’s drains. When it’s looked after, you hardly know it’s there, but neglected, it causes blockages and smells. A regular clean keeps it healthy. If you’re dealing with a small trap that fills too quickly and scheduled grease trap emptying, we can put it right.
For a kitchen near Farlington, deep cleans are booked around opening hours, often on a closed day.
We’ve been trading since 2009, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.

When something else is needed
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what grease trap cleaning will not do:
- A leaking sink waste or trap connection
- Blockages further down the drainage network
- Grease set hard in the drain run
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will say what we think.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Use strainers in the sink plugholes
- Scrape plates and pans into the bin before washing up
- Tell us if your menu or hours change
- Keep the grease trap on a regular cleaning schedule
Scrape plates into the bin before washing up. Sink strainers help catch solids so less solid waste gets through.
Setting regular cleans takes the guesswork out. The interval is set to suit the trap and the kitchen.
What we do, step by step
Each visit runs to the same pattern: protect the area, isolate whatever needs isolating, carry out the grease trap cleaning, clear away and hand over the paperwork. On site, the work takes less than an hour for many under-sink units. A site near Farlington normally has room to park, so the questions are about access to the system and your hours.
- 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
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Find the previous report, if there is one
Get a fixed quote
To get a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. We normally come back within one working day.
Advice
Common problems we fix in Farlington
In Farlington, as everywhere, grease traps are easy to forget. Hidden under a sink or in a floor it’s often left until there’s a problem.
Most sites get in touch after spotting something like this:
- A regular cleaning plan for the grease trap
- Foul odours from the grease trap
- Gurgling from the sink waste
- An interceptor full of grease and solids
Warblington Castle, about 2.9 miles east, is one of the historic houses around Farlington; event kitchens at places like that work in bursts, so a deep clean after a busy season helps.
What your quote should include

How we price grease trap cleaning
Your quote is based on your site. We take into account:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- The condition we find in the survey
- How easy every part is to reach
- The number of sites or systems
What you pay depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.
Asking for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you will usually have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.

Any of them serving food has a kitchen that collects grease out of sight and drains that need protecting.

Your questions about grease trap cleaning in Farlington
Can the work in Farlington be done at night or at weekends?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. Your customers, staff or residents in Farlington needn’t be disturbed. When you call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, mention when the site is quiet.
Do you cover smaller places like Farlington?
Yes, Farlington is part of our area, however small the site. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Do you clean under-sink and inline grease traps?
We cover under-sink, inline and interceptor units. Each one is emptied, cleaned and checked whatever the size.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, either from pictures and details you send or on a site visit. Then you get a fixed quote.
Do you deal with blocked drains beyond the grease trap?
Cleaning the trap deals with the grease it holds and that may solve a slow drain caused by the trap. Blockages further down the drain, or damaged pipework, need a drainage contractor.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We carry full insurance and have been trading since 2009.
How long will the sinks be out of use?
Each trap is a little different, and you can expect it to take an hour or two in most kitchens, depending on the size and condition of the trap. We will confirm when we quote.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
We never leave them off the paperwork. You will know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
