Grease trap cleaning in Glympton, done properly
Grease is behind most blocked kitchen drains. Further on, grease can build into fatbergs in the sewer. A grease trap that’s emptied and cleaned regularly holds them back. The work covers under-sink grease traps, pot wash sinks and school and care home kitchens, and people most often call us about a routine grease trap service and sinks that drain slowly.
Somewhere as small as Glympton, the kitchens that need a deep clean are usually a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Wherever there is one, it needs its grease trap and hard-to-reach areas kept clean.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

What happens on the day
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and it goes on the report too. The visit takes a short visit for a small trap and longer for an inline unit or interceptor. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Glympton.
- First, we find the trap and look at its connections.
- We make sure nothing drains into the trap.
- Grease and solids are removed from the trap.
- The chambers and baffles are cleaned.
- We refit it, run water through and remove the waste.
How to prepare
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
How to get a quote
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and pictures, and we usually reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
Advice
For landlords and multi-site operators
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
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.

Common problems we fix in Glympton
Waste cooking oil poured down the sink fills a grease trap far faster than washing-up. Even small amounts add up.
What we’re most often called out for:
- A small trap that fills too quickly
- A full, neglected grease trap
- A routine grease trap service
- Foul odours from the grease trap
If you run a kitchen in an older building near Glympton, such as a historic house like Blenheim Palace (about 3.5 miles south), older drains make a working grease trap all the more important.
What your quote should include
- Whether they’re fully insured
- If they look at the system before pricing
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
Glympton: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Glympton?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Glympton included. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Do you work overnight in Glympton?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. It means the site in Glympton keeps running as normal. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not normally. Visits are timed for when the area is closed, such as overnight or at a weekend, so the site can carry on as normal.
How do you protect the area?
Protection goes down first: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
How regularly does a grease trap need emptying?
The right interval depends on your trap and your cooking. If the sinks start to drain slowly between cleans, it’s too long and we will adjust the schedule.
Does the report say when we need you again?
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.
What about areas you cannot get to?
They’re marked on the report. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, and we can fit those.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. The law sets the duty, and TR19® is the recognised benchmark for meeting it. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and without records, many insurers may refuse or reduce a claim.
Why it’s worth doing now in Glympton
Once the trap is full, grease heads for the drain. It hardens on the pipe walls until water can’t get through. Regular trap cleaning beats dealing with a blockage. A fault that closes a site in a village like Glympton affects everyone who depends on it.
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You will have a fixed price before we start.

Keeping the system healthy
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Keep access to the trap clear
- Book trap cleans at a set interval
- Let us know if the kitchen gets busier
- Get food waste into the bin, not the sink
We will suggest when the trap should be cleaned again. It’s based on how full it was and how busy the kitchen is.
If the sinks are slow or smelly, the trap may be full. Acting at this stage usually prevents a blockage later.
Different parts, different methods
Grease interceptors
An interceptor works on the same principle as a smaller trap. Grease floats and solids sink.
Inline grease traps
Access to an inline trap can be in a floor or cupboard. We check how to reach it before the visit.
When something else is needed
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Grease set hard in the drain run
- A unit that can’t cope with the kitchen’s output
- Blockages in the public sewer beyond the property
If you are not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will give you a straight answer.
