Grease trap cleaning in Furneux Pelham
Grease is behind most blocked kitchen drains. Further on, grease can build into fatbergs in the sewer. A well-maintained trap holds them back. The work covers inline grease traps, under-sink grease traps and kitchen waste pipes, and the jobs we see most are drains clogged with fat and an under-sink unit that needs regular emptying.
Work in a small place like Furneux Pelham starts with agreeing a date and access, and the deep clean is the same as anywhere: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That’s why every job is written up in a report with pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

The process
Protection comes first: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. It takes a short visit for a small trap and longer for an inline unit or interceptor, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. If you can send pictures, we can arrive in Furneux Pelham knowing what to expect.
- First, we locate the grease trap and look at the pipework around it.
- The sinks feeding the trap are kept out of use while we work.
- 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.
- 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
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Let us know about parking and loading

How the job changes from site to site
School, care home and staff kitchens
Kitchens that serve set mealtimes fill their traps more steadily. A regular interval suits them well.
Inline grease traps
An inline trap sits in the pipework between the kitchen and the drain. They hold more than under-sink units but still need regular emptying.

Signs you need grease trap cleaning in Furneux Pelham
Fats, oils and grease from cooking and washing up go down the sink. In the trap, they cool and separate, and the layer gets thicker day by day.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Gurgling drains in the kitchen
- Scheduled grease trap emptying
- An interceptor full of grease and solids
- A slow-draining kitchen sink
Half-term is a good time for school kitchens, at schools like Furneux Pelham Church of England School for instance, to have the grease trap emptied and the kitchen deep cleaned.
Questions to ask before booking
- What paperwork you get at the end
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- What insurance they carry
Keeping the system healthy
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Collect waste cooking oil separately
- Don’t rely on hot water to clear grease
- Use strainers in the sink plugholes
- Book trap cleans at a set interval
Keep used oil out of the drains, and the trap will stay cleaner for longer. It’s the single easiest way to help.
If the sinks are slow or smelly, the trap may be full. Acting at this stage normally prevents a blockage later.
Common questions in Furneux Pelham
Will you come out to Furneux Pelham?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Do you work at weekends in Furneux Pelham?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. That way a site in Furneux Pelham doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
Not in itself. TR19® is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs check against, and many insurance policies ask for proof of TR19® cleaning. The law behind it is the Fire Safety Order 2005, which applies in England and Wales.
Do you recommend a next date?
Yes. The recommended date is on the report. For kitchen extracts, BESA’s minimum intervals run from every 3 months for heavy use to every 12 months for light use, and fire dampers need testing at least once a year.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not normally. Out-of-hours visits keep the disruption down. Bigger sites can be done in stages to keep things running.
What types of grease trap do you clean?
Both under-sink and inline traps, plus interceptors. A photo helps us see what’s fitted when you phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
What is TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It is not law, but it’s the benchmark.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so we can schedule a run of sites on one programme. Each site gets its own report and pictures.
