Advice
About our grease trap cleaning in Fullwell Cross
If the sinks drain slowly or smell, the trap is often the cause. In Fullwell Cross, as everywhere we work, our team empties and cleans the trap, then check the water flows properly. We are often asked to deal with a slow-draining kitchen sink and a blocked kitchen drain caused by grease, on pot wash sinks, restaurants and takeaways and under-sink grease traps.
Work in a smaller place like Fullwell Cross is planned around your opening hours.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

Aftercare tips
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Keep access to the trap clear
- Book trap cleans at a set interval
- Mention any increase in cooking
- Collect waste cooking oil separately
We will suggest when the trap should be cleaned again. That depends on how quickly it filled and how busy the kitchen is.
A trap that’s left too long stops catching grease. Cleaning it before it’s full keeps grease out of the drains and avoids a blockage.

How the job changes from site to site

Restaurant and takeaway kitchens
Kitchens that fry and wash up all day fill their traps quickly. They often need the most frequent cleaning.
Your questions about grease trap cleaning in Fullwell Cross
Can you come to Fullwell Cross after we close?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. That way a site in Fullwell Cross does not have to lose a day’s trading. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Do you clean school kitchens in Fullwell Cross in the summer holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. The FSA’s register shows about 26 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Fullwell Cross. Send us your term dates when you phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we will fit the work in.
Which accreditations do you hold?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We’re fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
How much notice should we give?
For planned work, earlier is better, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. The law sets the duty; TR19® is the benchmark used to show it’s met. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and without records, many insurers may refuse or reduce a claim.
Who is the responsible person?
The Fire Safety Order 2005 calls them the responsible person: normally the employer or whoever controls the premises. Landlords, facilities managers and managing agents can also hold responsibility.
How much time does a grease trap clean need?
Each trap is a little different, and you can expect it to take anything from under an hour to a few hours, depending on the trap. You will know before the visit.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, always. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it, and the quote is based on that.
Do you need grease trap cleaning in Fullwell Cross?
Food scraps go down the sink with the washing-up water. Solids settle at the bottom of the trap and takes up space.
The symptoms we’re asked about most are:
- Gurgling from the sink waste
- An under-sink trap that keeps filling up
- A routine grease trap service
- Washing-up water that won’t drain away
If you run a kitchen in an older building near Fullwell Cross, such as a historic house like Valentines Mansion (about 1.8 miles south-west), older drains make a working grease trap all the more important.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
How we price grease trap cleaning
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- The condition we find in the survey
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Any permits to work or inductions
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Asking for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Send what you can of the following:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The postcode and the type of business
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Any previous report or certificate
Getting a quote does not take long. Send a few details and photos, and we normally reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
