Grease trap cleaning for sites in Haslemere

How we handle grease trap cleaning in Haslemere

Grease trap cleaning keeps the drains running and the smells away. The fat, oil, grease and solids are taken out, clean the inside and the baffles, and check the trap is working properly. Typical jobs include foul odours from the grease trap and a small trap that fills too quickly, on school and care home kitchens, restaurants and takeaways and inline grease traps.

Kitchens around a smaller place like Haslemere are often in older buildings, with drains and grease traps that have been there for years. A blocked drain or a smelly grease trap is normally the first sign.

We have been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.

Why it’s worth doing now in Haslemere

Grease that leaves the kitchen ends up somewhere. It adds to blockages further down the drains and sewer. Keeping it in the trap, and emptying the trap, is the responsible thing to do. A site near Haslemere that has to close at short notice is hard to cover for.

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 work begins.

  • A written report with pictures after every visit
  • Work around your opening hours, with 24/7 emergency cover

Take a look at how cleaning jobs are priced or how to check a contractor.

How we price grease trap cleaning

We do not publish a price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:

  • Any permits to work or inductions
  • The size of the system
  • Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
  • Whether several sites go on one quote

Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.

Helping us quote

Before you ask for a quote, gather:

  • Where the site is and what kind of site it is
  • Problems your staff have spotted
  • The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
  • Any previous report or certificate

Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.

What happens on the day

We turn up at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool before any work starts, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes anything from under an hour to a few hours, depending on the trap. Evenings, weekends or a closed day all work for a site in a place like Haslemere.

  1. We start by finding the trap and checking its inlet and outlet.
  2. We ask for the sinks that drain into the trap not to be used.
  3. We take out the layer of fat, oil and grease and any solids.
  4. We clean the chambers, baffles and connections.
  5. Once it’s refitted, water is run through to check it drains, and we take the waste with us.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
  • Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
  • Mention any parking or loading restrictions

Getting a quote

To get a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. You will usually have a quote within one working day.

How the job changes from site to site

Grease interceptors

An interceptor works on the same principle as a smaller trap. Grease floats and solids sink.

Baffles and outlets

We check the inlet, outlet and baffles at each clean so water flows freely.

Haslemere questions

Do you work in villages like Haslemere?

Yes, Haslemere is part of our area, however small the site. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.

Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Haslemere?

The local authority for Haslemere is Waverley council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. Photos from a deep clean are a simple record of what was done and when.

What’s TR19?

It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping and expects a risk-based approach.

Do I get a report after the visit?

Yes, on every job. It’s a dated, written report with photos, and TR19® Grease cleans come with a certificate through the BESCA VHE portal. Keep it in your maintenance log.

Do you take the waste away?

We take it away. Your staff don’t have to handle it once the clean is done.

What happens to the waste?

We contain it and take it with us. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on rather than letting it spread.

Do you survey before quoting?

Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.

What should go in our maintenance log?

Every certificate and report from each visit, kept together in your maintenance log with your in-house cleaning records. BESA says certificates should show the date, location and technician.

What your team can do, and what needs us

Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.

For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.

Commercial kitchens in Haslemere

The FSA’s data shows about 5 pubs and bars registered within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Haslemere. Where they run a kitchen, it needs the same deep cleaning and grease trap care as any restaurant. It’s Waverley council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Haslemere. Walls, floors, ceilings and equipment are all part of what they look at. Photos and dates from each deep clean make a useful record.

Do you need grease trap cleaning in Haslemere?

Hot washing-up water keeps grease liquid for a while. Once it cools, it sets in the pipework or the drain.

If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:

  • An inline trap or interceptor due for cleaning
  • A slow-draining kitchen sink
  • Drains that gurgle and bubble
  • Scheduled grease trap emptying

For schools such as Shottermill Infant School, deep cleans and grease trap work are typically booked for the holidays.

Questions to ask before you book

  • Proof of accreditation you can verify
  • What happens if part of the system cannot be accessed
  • What records you will receive afterwards
  • When the next visit should be, and why
