Grease trap cleaning for sites in Hailey

Grease trap cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Hailey

We clean grease traps for kitchens in Hailey, from small under-sink units to inline traps and interceptors. Visits are booked around your service so washing up is not interrupted. Common call-outs are for a slow-draining kitchen sink and scheduled grease trap emptying, across kitchen waste pipes, under-sink grease traps and school and care home kitchens.

Somewhere as small as Hailey, 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.

Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

Keeping the system healthy

A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:

  • Tell us when sinks start draining slowly
  • Fit sink strainers to catch food scraps
  • Keep access to the trap clear
  • Wipe grease off pans before washing them

If we spot problems beyond the trap, such as a drain that still runs slowly, we’ll tell you. That may need a drainage contractor to investigate.

Fat that escapes the trap hardens in the pipework. Once it’s there, it needs a drainage contractor to clear, so it’s far better to keep the trap clean.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers

Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.

FAQs for Hailey

Can you come to Hailey after we close?

Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. That way a site in Hailey doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.

Do you work in villages like Hailey?

Yes. Hailey is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.

Do you recommend a next date?

Yes. The interval depends on how much the system is used and what we find and the report sets out why.

What do you do to protect the area?

Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before any work starts, and anything we remove is contained. At the end, the area is cleaned down.

Do I get a report after the visit?

Yes. It’s your proof that the work was done: a written, dated record with pictures of what we did and anything we couldn’t access.

Is TR19 cleaning required by law?

No. The law sets the duty; TR19® is the benchmark used to show it’s met. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person has to manage fire risk, and many insurers can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of cleaning.

Are you insured?

Yes, fully. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor for clients who vet their contractors.

Do you offer emergency callouts?

Yes, 24/7. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, and the emergency line covers the rest.

What grease trap cleaning looks like in Hailey

Food Standards Agency records include about 3 pubs, bars and clubs in and around Hailey, up to about a mile and a half out. Any of them serving food has a kitchen that collects grease out of sight and drains that need protecting. Kitchens in Hailey get their food hygiene inspections from West Oxfordshire 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.

Where a church or community hall near Church of St John the Evangelist, or anywhere in Hailey, has a kitchen used by volunteers, a periodic deep clean keeps it ready for the next event. For schools such as Hailey Church of England Primary School, deep cleans and grease trap work are typically booked for the holidays.

Fixed quotes for grease trap cleaning in Hailey

The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:

  • Site rules, permits and inductions
  • Where the site is and how we reach it
  • Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
  • The size of the system

When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before we start.

Helping us quote

Photos let us diagnose from a distance. Try to include:

  • The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
  • Wide photos of the system and the area around it
  • Any access panels or hatches you can see
  • Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks

The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

What grease trap cleaning cannot fix

In fairness, there are a few things this work will not fix:

  • Drains that are cracked or have collapsed
  • Plumbing leaks around the sink
  • A unit that cannot cope with the kitchen’s output

If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will say what we think.

Where we work

  • Restaurants and takeaways
  • Kitchen waste pipes
  • Pot wash sinks
  • Inline grease traps
  • School and care home kitchens
  • Under-sink grease traps

Different parts, different methods

Under-sink grease traps

Under-sink traps are cleaned in a short visit and check the seal on the lid.

Restaurant and takeaway kitchens

Kitchens that fry and wash up all day fill their traps quickly. A shorter cleaning interval typically suits them.

When to call us in Hailey

Fats, oils and grease from cooking and washing up go down the sink. They cool and float to the top of the trap, and the layer gets thicker day by day.

The symptoms we are asked about most are:

  • An overdue grease trap
  • Drains clogged with fat
  • A regular cleaning plan for the grease trap
  • Washing-up water that will not drain away

Historic houses such as Minster Lovell Hall (about 1.9 miles south-west) are part of the area around Hailey, and if you run event catering at a venue like that, a deep clean between seasons helps.

Questions to ask before you book

How the visit works

Your staff do not need to do much on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and the rest is down to us. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. Somewhere as small as Hailey, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.

  1. First, we find the trap and look at its connections.
  2. We make sure nothing drains into the trap.
  3. We empty out the fat, oil, grease and solids.
  4. The chambers and baffles are cleaned.
  5. We refit it, run water through and remove the waste.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking and loading
  • Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
  • Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
