Grease trap cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Farncombe
For kitchens across Farncombe, grease trap cleaning fits easily around service. The trap is emptied, cleaned and checked, and the waste is taken away. It works on its own or with a deep clean or extract clean. If you have an under-sink unit that needs regular emptying and sinks that drain slowly, we can put it right.
In a smaller place like Farncombe, commercial kitchens are more likely to be a pub, a café, a takeaway or a school or care home kitchen. Smaller kitchens still collect grease behind equipment and in the drains.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

Questions from Farncombe
Which environmental health team covers Farncombe?
Kitchens in Farncombe are inspected by Waverley council’s environmental health officers. An officer may look behind equipment and at drains, so it pays to have the deep clean booked before those areas build up.
Do you work in school kitchens around Farncombe out of term?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. With about 6 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Farncombe, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Tell us your holiday dates and we will book the visit for when the site is empty.
What do you do with what you remove?
We contain it and take it with us. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on, so it doesn’t spread.
Do the sinks have to be out of use during the clean?
Only briefly, and only the sinks that feed the trap. We plan the visit for a quieter time where we can.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
Anything we can’t reach goes on the report, with a note of where it is, and we explain what access is needed, for example new access panels.
What’s the right interval for grease trap cleaning?
There’s no single answer. The interval depends on how quickly your trap fills and we’ll advise on timing.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, from your photos and details, or with a visit where needed. A fixed quote follows.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we will suggest a schedule and quote for it.
Different parts, different methods
Baffles and outlets
The baffles hold back grease while water flows on. Grease clings to them so they’re cleaned every time.
Grease interceptors
Grease interceptors are larger units that serve busier kitchens. With more capacity, they fill more slowly, but they still need regular emptying and cleaning.
Between visits
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Book trap cleans at a set interval
- Scrape plates and pans into the bin before washing up
- Do not rely on hot water to clear grease
- Act on gurgling or smelly drains
Anything we notice beyond the trap, like a slow drain downstream, is pointed out. That may need a drainage contractor to look further.
Setting regular cleans takes the guesswork out. We agree the timing with you.
What grease trap cleaning cannot fix
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Plumbing leaks around the sink
- Collapsed or damaged drains, which need a drainage contractor
- Grease deep in the drains, which needs jetting by a drainage contractor
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What happens on the day
Protection comes first: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes an hour or so for an under-sink trap, longer for a larger unit, and we clear up before we go. For a place like Farncombe, we load the van from the survey notes so the work can be done in one visit where possible.
- We agree a time when the sinks are not needed.
- 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
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Clear loose items from the work area
Getting a quote
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few photos and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Surrey. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Grease trap cleaning around Farncombe
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 15 pubs, bars and clubs within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Farncombe. Any of them serving food has a kitchen that collects grease out of sight and drains that need protecting. Food hygiene inspections in Farncombe are the job of Waverley council’s environmental health team. The state of floors, drains and hard-to-reach corners all feeds into the inspection. Keeping a record of deep cleans and grease trap visits helps at inspection time.
Healthcare kitchens cook through the year, so a deep clean has to be fitted around meals; Milford Hospital, about 2.2 miles south, is the nearest hospital to Farncombe. A summer deep clean suits schools such as Farncombe Church of England Infant School, as the kitchen can be stripped back with no lunches to serve. Hall kitchens near St John the Evangelist Church or elsewhere in Farncombe may have older sinks and drains, so a grease trap check is worth adding to a deep clean.

Around Farncombe

The countryside around Farncombe includes Frith Hill and Farncombe Wood.
What staff can safely do
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Why act early in Farncombe
Wherever the kitchen is in Farncombe, backed-up drains stop it working. Sinks won’t empty and waste water can come back up. Cleaning the grease trap on time helps prevent it. A site near Farncombe that has to close at short notice is hard to cover for.
