What affects the quote in Friday Street

We do not publish a price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:

  • Where the site is and how we reach it
  • How big the system is
  • The condition of the system
  • The times the site is available

We do not list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we will talk you through it.

Asking for a quote

Before you ask for a quote, gather:

  • The times we could work without disrupting the site
  • Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
  • Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
  • Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow

To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, photos of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.

Grease trap cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Friday Street

For kitchens across Friday Street, grease trap cleaning fits easily around service. The trap is emptied, cleaned and checked and remove the waste. It can be booked on its own or alongside other kitchen work. If you have a routine grease trap service and a grease trap that hasn’t been emptied in a long time, we can help.

In rural areas, a kitchen may drain to a private system rather than a public sewer, so keeping fat out with a working grease trap matters even more.

We have been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we are fully insured.

Friday Street kitchens: local notes

About 24 miles out from central London, Friday Street is part of the South East area we work across. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site. Environmental health officers from Mole Valley council inspect food businesses in Friday Street. They look at the cleanliness of the whole kitchen: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment. A record of each deep clean helps show the kitchen is kept in order.

If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St James or elsewhere in Friday Street, a deep clean and an emptied grease trap before a busy season of events are worth booking. A summer deep clean suits schools such as Belmont Prep School, as the kitchen can be stripped back with no lunches to serve.

Friday Street is about 3 miles south-west of Dorking, in Surrey. Every kind of commercial site in Friday Street, grease trap cleaning is something we can help with. We can work out of hours so the site keeps running. 395 places in Surrey are on our list, large and small. Guildford is in our area too, around 9 miles away.

Do you need grease trap cleaning in Friday Street?

Oil tipped down the drain instead of being collected fills a grease trap far faster than washing-up. Even small amounts add up.

The symptoms we are asked about most include:

  • A slow-draining kitchen sink
  • Gurgling from the sink waste
  • An under-sink unit that needs regular emptying
  • A larger grease trap that needs emptying

Polesden Lacey, about 4.2 miles north, is one of the historic houses around Friday Street; event kitchens at places like that work in bursts, so a deep clean after a busy season helps.

How to choose an extract cleaning contractor

How it works

Everything the job needs comes with us, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. On site, the work takes an hour or so for an under-sink trap, longer for a larger unit. In a small place like Friday Street, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.

  1. We start by finding the trap and checking its inlet and outlet.
  2. We ask for the sinks that drain into the trap not to be used.
  3. The trap is emptied of grease and food waste.
  4. The inside, baffles and pipe connections are cleaned.
  5. We put it back together, run water through and remove the waste.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
  • Agree a time when the area can be out of use
  • Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system

How to get a quote

For a fixed quote, call 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. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. You’ll normally have a quote within one working day.

Common questions in Friday Street

Which environmental health team covers Friday Street?

In Friday Street, it’s Mole Valley council that carries out food hygiene inspections. How often a business is inspected depends on the council’s risk rating for it, so the kitchen needs to be ready at any time.

Do you work at weekends in Friday Street?

Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The site is handed back ready to open. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.

Are you insured?

Yes. We carry full insurance, and we have been trading since 2009.

How long will the sinks be out of use?

The size and state of the trap make the difference, and you can expect it to take a short visit for a small trap and longer for an inline unit or interceptor. You’ll know before the visit.

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.

Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?

In the words of the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person. That’s generally the employer or the person in control of the premises, and in shared buildings more than one person can have duties. If you’re not sure, check your lease and fire risk assessment.

Do you look at the system first?

Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need and the fixed quote is built on it.

How do you protect the area?

Protection goes down first: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?

Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.

Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.

Different parts, different methods

Grease interceptors

Interceptors take longer to clean and we allow for that.

Restaurant and takeaway kitchens

Busy kitchens cannot afford a blocked drain. Keeping the trap clean reduces the risk.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers

Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:

  • Scrape plates and pans into the bin before washing up
  • Tell us when sinks start draining slowly
  • Use strainers in the sink plugholes
  • Make sure the trap can be reached easily

Once the trap is cleaned and refitted, the sinks can be used straight away. Water is run through to check everything flows before we leave.

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.
