How we handle grease trap cleaning in Forest Green
A neglected grease trap stops doing its job. Fat sets in the pipes downstream, leading to slow drains, blockages and smells. A trap that’s cleaned regularly keeps grease where it belongs. The work covers school and care home kitchens, under-sink grease traps and restaurants and takeaways, and people most often call us about a blocked kitchen drain caused by grease and drains that gurgle and bubble.
Rural kitchens may drain to a septic tank or a private drain rather than straight into a public sewer, so keeping fat out with a working grease trap matters even more.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with photos, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

What affects the cost of grease trap cleaning
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- The condition of the system
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Parking and loading at the site
- A single visit or a regular plan
We don’t list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we will talk you through it.
Asking for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
For grease trap cleaning in Forest Green, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form. Tell us what kind of premises it is and when it’s open, plus photos or the previous report if they’re to hand. We normally send a fixed quote within one working day.
Why it’s worth doing now in Forest Green
A smelly, overflowing trap attracts pests. A clean trap is less of an attraction as part of a clean kitchen. In a small place like Forest Green, 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: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before any work starts.
Why book with us
- A single point of contact for sites across the South East and London
- Member of BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease
- We diagnose before we treat
- Trading since 2009
What your team can do, and what needs us
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
How it works
Every visit runs to the same pattern: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, carry out the grease trap cleaning, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself takes anything from under an hour to a few hours, depending on the trap. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Forest 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.
- We clean the baffles, inlet and outlet.
- We close it up, check it drains and suggest when it needs cleaning again.
Before we arrive
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Move anything stored near the system
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
How to get a quote
To get a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. You’ll usually have a quote within one working day.
Advice
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Keep strainers in every sink
- Keep access to the trap clear
- Tell us when sinks start draining slowly
- Collect waste cooking oil separately
Once the trap is cleaned and refitted, the sinks can be used straight away. We run water through to check it drains before we leave.
A trap that’s left too long stops catching grease. Regular emptying keeps it working and avoids a blockage.
When to call us in Forest Green
Oil tipped down the drain instead of being collected fills a grease trap far faster than washing-up. Small amounts soon build up.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- An inline trap or interceptor due for cleaning
- A blocked kitchen drain caused by grease
- Sinks that drain slowly
- Drains that gurgle and bubble
In and around Forest Green, we deep clean overnight or on a closed day.

Your questions about grease trap cleaning in Forest Green
Can the work in Forest Green be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. That way a site in Forest Green does not have to lose a day’s trading. When you call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, mention when the site is quiet.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Forest Green?
Food hygiene inspections in Forest Green are carried out by Mole Valley council. Keep the dates of your last deep clean and grease trap visit with your food safety records, ready if an officer asks.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
Not in itself. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19® as the benchmark, and many insurance policies ask for proof of TR19® cleaning. The law behind it is the Fire Safety Order 2005, which applies in England and Wales.
What’s the right interval for grease trap cleaning?
It depends on the size of the trap and how busy the kitchen is. Small under-sink units fill faster than larger traps, and busy kitchens fill them faster still. We will recommend a schedule once we’ve seen it.
Do you clean under-sink and inline grease traps?
Under-sink and inline grease traps, and larger interceptors. They’re emptied, cleaned and checked whatever the size.
What paperwork should we keep on file?
The reports and certificates from each visit, plus your own logs. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs may all ask to see them, so keep them where they can be found quickly.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, fully. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it for clients who vet their contractors.
Does the report say when we need you again?
Yes. We put a recommended next date on the report. BESA’s minimum intervals for kitchen extracts range from 3-monthly for heavy use to 12-monthly for light use, and fire dampers need testing at least once a year.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Forest Green and across Surrey. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
