Grease trap cleaning in Fernhurst

Grease trap cleaning in Fernhurst

A grease trap is the kitchen drain’s first line of protection. Kept clean, it does its job quietly but left too long, it causes trouble. Routine cleaning keeps it in good working order. If you have a small trap that fills too quickly and sinks that drain slowly, we can put it right, from under-sink grease traps, kitchen waste pipes and inline grease traps onwards.

Work in a small place like Fernhurst starts with agreeing a date and access.

Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

The process

There’s very little for your team to do on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Fernhurst before we set off.

  1. We find the trap and check how it’s connected.
  2. We ask for the sinks that drain into the trap not to be used.
  3. Built-up fat, oil and grease is removed from the trap.
  4. We clean the chambers, baffles and connections.
  5. We put it back together, run water through and remove the waste.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
  • Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
  • Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas

Getting a quote

To help us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, a few pictures and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, call 0345 646 2711 or email us.

What affects the quote in Fernhurst

We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:

  • Any permits to work or inductions
  • The times the site is available
  • What state the system is in
  • Parking and loading at the site

The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before work begins.

What to send for a quote

Many jobs can be priced from pictures and some basics. Send what you can of the following:

  • Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
  • Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
  • The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
  • When the site is open and when it’s quiet

There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To start, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.

What the work involves, part by part

School, care home and staff kitchens

In schools, grease traps can be cleaned when the kitchen is closed or after lunch service.

Inline grease traps

Inline traps often take waste from several sinks or appliances. That means more grease, so regular cleaning matters.

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.

Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.

Questions from Fernhurst

Can the work in Fernhurst be done at night or at weekends?

Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.

Do you cover smaller places like Fernhurst?

Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Fernhurst included. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.

Do you have insurance?

Yes, we’re fully insured. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor, for sites that check contractor safety.

Do you provide a certificate or report?

Yes, always. It’s a dated, written report with photos, plus a certificate via the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal for TR19® Grease cleans. File it with your fire safety records.

Which kinds of sites do you work on?

Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a small pub to a hospital. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.

Can you look after several sites?

Yes. You deal with one contact for every site across London and the South East, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.

Do you have a 24/7 line?

Yes, 24/7. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, with the emergency line covering every other hour.

Will cleaning the grease trap fix a blocked drain?

A trap clean removes the grease in the trap, and can clear the problem where the trap was the cause. A blockage deeper in the drains needs a drainage specialist.

Multi-site and managed buildings

Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit ends with a dated report and photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.

When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.

Common problems we fix in Fernhurst

In Fernhurst, 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.

Clients normally contact us when they notice one of these:

  • Foul odours from the grease trap
  • Sinks that drain slowly
  • An under-sink trap that keeps filling up
  • Scheduled grease trap emptying

For schools such as Fernhurst Primary School, deep cleans and grease trap work are normally booked for the holidays.

When something else is needed

To be straight with you, there are a few things this work won’t fix:

  • Collapsed or damaged drains, which need a drainage contractor
  • Drains that need jetting rather than trap cleaning
  • A grease trap that is too small for the kitchen

Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will tell you honestly.
