Common questions in Frimley
Do you clean school kitchens in Frimley in the summer holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. Around Frimley, the Food Standards Agency lists about 23 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Just call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with your term dates and we will plan around them.
Can you come to Frimley after we close?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. That way a site in Frimley doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Can you clear our blocked drains as well?
Cleaning the trap deals with the grease it holds, and can clear the problem where the trap was the cause. Blockages further down the drain, or damaged pipework, need a drainage contractor.
How much time does a grease trap clean need?
The size and state of the trap make the difference, and you can expect it to take an hour or two in most kitchens, depending on the size and condition of the trap. We’ll confirm when we quote.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line, for problems that cannot wait. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
What about areas you cannot get to?
We never leave them off the paperwork. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we will suggest a schedule and quote for it.
Is Frimley in your area?
Yes. We work across Greater London, Surrey, Kent, Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Essex, and that includes Frimley.
Grease trap cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Frimley
Grease trap cleaning keeps the drains running and the smells away. The fat, oil, grease and solids are taken out, clean the inside and the baffles, and check the trap is working properly. Typical jobs include gurgling from the sink waste and drains clogged with fat, on kitchen waste pipes, inline grease traps and pot wash sinks.
Grease traps fill up with fat and food scraps, and a full trap lets fat through to the drains. Regular emptying and cleaning stops the smells and blockages that follow.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Signs you need grease trap cleaning in Frimley
For a kitchen in Frimley or anywhere else, the trap is out of sight and out of mind. Tucked away under the sink or below the floor, it’s often ignored until something goes wrong.
These are the problems we see most often:
- A routine grease trap service
- Gurgling from the sink waste
- Washing-up water that won’t drain away
- A bad smell from the sinks or drains
School kitchens, at schools like Lakeside Primary School for example, typically have their deep cleans and grease trap work done while the canteen is closed.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Whether VAT is included
- Proof of accreditation you can verify

What happens on the day
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and the same goes into the written report. All told, the work takes an hour or so for an under-sink trap, longer for a larger unit. Parking in a town like Frimley is typically straightforward, so the main questions are access and timing.
- We locate the trap and check how it’s fitted.
- We make sure nothing drains into the trap.
- We empty out the fat, oil, grease and solids.
- We clean every part of the inside.
- We refit it, run water through and remove the waste.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down

How the job changes from site to site
Inline grease traps
Inline traps may be under a floor panel or in a cupboard. We check how to reach it before the visit.
Grease interceptors
A larger unit takes more time to empty and clean and we plan the visit accordingly.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
What affects the quote in Frimley
Your quote is based on your site. We consider:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
We don’t 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.
What we need to know
You do not need the technical terms. Just send:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- A few general shots of the system
- The site address and the type of premises
Getting a quote does not take long. Send a few details and pictures, and we normally reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.

They look at the cleanliness of the whole kitchen: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment. Photos and dates from each deep clean make a useful record.

Keeping the system healthy
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Tell us when sinks start draining slowly
- Tell us if your menu or hours change
- Keep waste oil out of the drains
- Get food waste into the bin, not the sink
Between cleans, keep food scraps out of the sink. Use strainers in the sink plugholes before they reach the trap.
Grease that gets past the trap sets in the drains. Once it’s there, it needs a drainage contractor to clear, so it’s far better to keep the trap clean.
