Grease trap cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Furner's Green
Kitchens in Furner's Green use us for grease trap cleaning, from small under-sink units to inline traps and interceptors. Visits are booked around your service so washing up isn’t interrupted. The work covers pot wash sinks, restaurants and takeaways and school and care home kitchens, and common reasons people get in touch are a grease trap that hasn’t been emptied in a long time and grease setting in the kitchen pipework.
Rural kitchens may drain to a septic tank or a private drain rather than straight into a public sewer, and fat getting past a grease trap can cause real trouble there.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What we’re called out for in Furner's Green
Oil tipped down the drain instead of being collected overloads the trap fast. Small amounts soon build up.
Look out for these warning signs:
- Drains that gurgle and bubble
- A kitchen drain that smells
- A larger grease trap that needs emptying
- A full, neglected grease trap
Hall kitchens near The Parish Church of All Saints or elsewhere in Furner's Green may have older sinks and drains, so a grease trap check is worth adding to a deep clean.

Why it’s worth doing now in Furner's Green
A smelly, overflowing trap attracts pests. A clean trap is less of an attraction, alongside good kitchen hygiene. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are unsure, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email for straight advice and a fixed quote.

Furner's Green questions
Can you get to a site in Furner's Green?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Furner's Green is covered. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Can the work in Furner's Green be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. It means the site in Furner's Green keeps running as normal. Just call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with your opening times and we will plan around them.
What should go in our maintenance log?
Each report and certificate we give you, filed in the maintenance log, along with your own cleaning log. BESA advises that certificates record the date, location and technician.
Who is the responsible person?
The law calls them the responsible person. It’s normally the employer, or whoever controls the building, and in shared buildings more than one person can have duties. Your lease and fire risk assessment should make it clear.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. One number covers all your sites in our area, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
Do I get a report after the visit?
Yes. It’s the record insurers and inspectors ask to see: a dated report with photos, listing the work and any areas we couldn’t reach.
Do you clean under-sink and inline grease traps?
Both under-sink and inline traps, plus interceptors. If you’re not sure what you have, send us a photo when you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Do you deal with blocked drains beyond the grease trap?
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.
Keeping the system healthy
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Scrape plates and pans into the bin before washing up
- Tell us when sinks start draining slowly
- Don’t store things on top of the trap
- Book trap cleans at a set interval
Anything we notice beyond the trap, like a slow drain downstream, is pointed out. That may need a drainage contractor to investigate.
Setting regular cleans takes the guesswork out. We agree the timing with you.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Furner's Green
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so each one has its own record.
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with pictures.
How the visit works
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool first, and the area around the work is covered and protected. The work itself takes less than an hour for many under-sink units. The timing of a visit to Furner's Green is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- First, we locate the grease trap and look at the pipework around it.
- Nothing drains into the trap while it’s open.
- We take out the layer of fat, oil and grease and any solids.
- Every part of the trap is scraped and cleaned, including the baffles.
- Once it’s refitted, water is run through to check it drains, and we take the waste with us.
Before we arrive
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
How to get a quote
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you’ll usually have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.

When something else is needed
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what grease trap cleaning won’t do:
- Leaking pipework or sink wastes, which need a plumber
- Collapsed or damaged drains, which need a drainage contractor
- Grease deep in the drains, which needs jetting by a drainage contractor
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
What the work covers
- Pot wash sinks
- Under-sink grease traps
- Inline grease traps
- School and care home kitchens
- Kitchen waste pipes
- Restaurants and takeaways
What your team can do, and what needs us
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
