What affects the cost of grease trap cleaning
Your quote is based on your site. We take into account:
- The scale of the work
- What state the system is in
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- The number of sites or systems
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we’ll price it together.
What to send for a quote
You do not need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Grease trap cleaning in Forty Green
We clean grease traps for kitchens in Forty Green, from small under-sink units to inline traps and interceptors. Visits are booked around your service so washing up isn’t interrupted. Typical jobs include a full, neglected grease trap and drains that gurgle and bubble, across restaurants and takeaways, under-sink grease traps and pot wash sinks.
Somewhere as small as Forty Green, the kitchens that need a deep clean are usually a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Wherever there is one, it needs its grease trap and hard-to-reach areas kept clean.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with photos of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

What a clean won’t put right
We will not sell you work that does not address the problem, so here are the limits:
- Broken pipework below ground
- Grease set hard in the drain run
- A grease trap that’s too small for the kitchen

The process
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and it goes on the report too. The visit takes anything from under an hour to a few hours, depending on the trap. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Forty Green before we set off.
- We agree a time when the sinks aren’t needed.
- The trap is opened up and checked.
- Built-up grease and food waste are taken out.
- We clean the baffles, inlet and outlet.
- The trap is closed, tested and the next clean discussed.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Clear loose items from the work area

Related advice
What the work involves, part by part
Restaurant and takeaway kitchens
Visits are booked when the sinks are not in use so the kitchen is not disrupted.
Grease interceptors
Interceptors take longer to clean and we allow for that.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.

Not usually. We work when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends, so you keep your normal hours.

With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. We keep the work contained and clean down when we finish.
Do you provide a certificate or report?
Yes. Every visit ends with a written report and pictures, covering the work, any areas we couldn’t access and the recommended next date. Kitchen extract cleans to TR19® Grease also get a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Forty Green kitchens: local notes
In Forty Green, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from South Oxfordshire council. An inspection covers the structure of the kitchen as well as the food. A record of each deep clean helps show the kitchen is kept in order. About 38 miles out from central London, Forty Green is part of the South East area we work across. Evening, overnight and weekend visits are all possible.
If you cater for weddings or events at a historic house in the area (Adwell House is about 4.8 miles south-west), deep cleans can be fitted between bookings. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Thame Community Hospital about 3.4 miles north-west, deep cleans and grease trap visits are planned so meals still go out.

Between visits
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Act on gurgling or smelly drains
- Make sure the trap can be reached easily
- Get food waste into the bin, not the sink
- Keep the grease trap on a regular cleaning schedule
Scrape plates into the bin before washing up. Use strainers in the sink plugholes so less solid waste gets through.
Fat that escapes the trap hardens in the pipework. Once it’s there, it needs a drainage contractor to clear, so it’s far better to keep the trap clean.

What else we do in Forty Green
Why act early in Forty Green
A full grease trap lets grease through to the drains. It hardens on the pipe walls, until the drain blocks. Regular trap cleaning beats dealing with a blockage. In a small place like Forty Green, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. You will have a fixed price before work begins.
Why us?
- One number for every site across the South East and London
- Every job surveyed first
- Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus 24/7 emergency callout
- A written report with photos after every visit
