Grease trap cleaning in Gomshall, done properly
If the sinks drain slowly or smell, the trap is often the cause. We find the trap, empty it and clean it and run water through to check it drains. We are often asked to deal with drains clogged with fat and an interceptor full of grease and solids, on inline grease traps, under-sink grease traps and pot wash sinks.
In rural areas, a kitchen may drain to a private system rather than a public sewer, and fat getting past a grease trap can cause real trouble there.
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.

Why act early in Gomshall
A dirty grease trap smells. Decomposing waste in the trap smells bad that can reach the kitchen and beyond. Cleaning it removes the cause. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.

How the visit works
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Gomshall and turn up when the site is quiet.
- We agree a time when the sinks are not needed.
- We open the trap and look at its condition.
- Built-up grease and food waste are taken out.
- We clean the baffles, inlet and outlet.
- The trap is closed, tested and the next clean discussed.
Getting ready for the visit

School, care home and staff kitchens
Drains in care settings need to keep flowing. We fit visits around mealtimes.
Do you need grease trap cleaning in Gomshall?

- A larger grease trap that needs emptying
- An under-sink trap that keeps filling up
- A blocked kitchen drain caused by grease

Grease trap cleaning around Gomshall
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 5 restaurants, cafés and works canteens within about 1.5 miles of central Gomshall. Kitchens like these wash fat, oil and grease down the sink every day, and a grease trap is what stops it reaching the sewer. Kitchens in Gomshall get their food hygiene inspections from Guildford council. An inspection covers the structure of the kitchen as well as the food. Having the dates of the last deep clean to hand saves digging for them on the day.

Your questions about grease trap cleaning in Gomshall
Can school kitchens in Gomshall be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. There are about 2 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Gomshall. Tell us your holiday dates and we will book the visit for when the site is empty.
Do you work at weekends in Gomshall?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. It means the site in Gomshall keeps running as normal. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not typically. We need the work area to ourselves while we are on site, so the visit goes in a quiet slot.
What should go in our maintenance log?
Visit reports, certificates and your in-house cleaning logs. They’re what an insurer, fire officer or EHO may ask for, so keep them together and easy to find.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. We keep the work contained and leave the area clean.
What types of premises do you cover?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, as well as food production and leisure sites.
Does the report say when we need you again?
Yes. Every report includes a recommended date for the next visit, based on use and what we found.
Can you give me a price for grease trap cleaning?
No two traps are quite the same, so we price each one individually. You get a fixed quote, typically within one working day.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Use strainers in the sink plugholes
- Act on gurgling or smelly drains
- Keep the grease trap on a regular cleaning schedule
- Keep access to the trap clear
We take the grease and solids away. Nothing is left for you to dispose of when we’re done.
A fixed cleaning interval means the trap never gets overfull. The interval is set to suit the trap and the kitchen.
