What affects the cost of grease trap cleaning
Sites vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- The condition we find in the survey
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- The number of sites or systems
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
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 the price is fixed before we start.
Helping us quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
We don’t publish a price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To start, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.

Common problems we fix in Harmans Water
Hot water and detergent carry grease further than you’d expect. When it cools, the grease hardens, often in the trap or the pipe beyond.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Foul odours from the grease trap
- Grease setting in the kitchen pipework
- An interceptor full of grease and solids
- Gurgling drains in the kitchen
If you run a kitchen near Martins Heron station with long trading hours, grease builds up faster behind equipment and in the trap.
Before booking anyone
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
- When the next visit should be, and why
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- Whether the quote shows VAT
Looking after it afterwards
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Act on gurgling or smelly drains
- Fit sink strainers to catch food scraps
- Do not wait for a blockage to book a clean
- Keep waste oil out of the drains
Scrape plates into the bin before washing up. Sink strainers help catch solids before they reach the trap.
Fat that escapes the trap hardens in the pipework. Once it’s there, it needs a drainage contractor to clear so prevention is the easier route.

The process
We’re used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. On site, the work takes less than an hour for many under-sink units. A site near Harmans Water typically has room to park, so the questions are about access to the system and your hours.
- We locate the trap and check how it’s fitted.
- 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

How the job changes from site to site
Inline grease traps
Inline traps may be under a floor panel or in a cupboard. We ask about access when we quote.
Baffles and outlets
Baffles inside the trap slow the water so grease can separate. They gather grease and debris so they’re cleaned every time.
