What the work involves, part by part

Inline grease traps
Inline traps may be under a floor panel or in a cupboard. We ask about access when we quote.
About our grease trap cleaning in Hatchet Green
A clean trap means flowing drains and no foul smells. We empty the built-up grease and food solids, clean the inside and the baffles, and check the trap is working properly. If you’re dealing with a regular cleaning plan for the grease trap and foul odours from the grease trap, we can put it right.
Work in a small place like Hatchet Green starts with agreeing a date and access, and the deep clean is the same as anywhere: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Hatchet Green
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Common questions in Hatchet Green
Do you cover smaller places like Hatchet Green?
Yes, Hatchet Green is part of our area, however small the site. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Do you work overnight in Hatchet Green?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Let us know the hours you are closed and we will book within them.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Typically not. Booking the work out of hours means the site can carry on as normal. Larger jobs can be phased over several visits to keep things running.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a small pub to a hospital. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
Why does a grease trap need regular cleaning?
Grease escapes into the drains when the trap is full. There it hardens on the pipe walls and causes blockages. Keeping the trap clean stops that happening.
Do you provide a certificate or report?
Yes, always. It’s a dated, written report with pictures, plus a certificate via the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal for TR19® Grease cleans. File it with your fire safety records.
What’s TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked and expects a risk-based approach.
What does a grease trap clean cost?
Every trap is different, so we quote once we know what you have. You get a fixed quote, typically within one working day.
What affects the cost of grease trap cleaning
The survey tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- The condition of the system
- Where the site is and how we reach it
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you will get one fixed quote.
Helping us quote
You do not need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- The postcode and the type of business
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, and then give you a fixed quote. To start, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
How it works
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, isolate whatever needs isolating, carry out the grease trap cleaning, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. On site, the work takes an hour or so for an under-sink trap, longer for a larger unit. If you can send pictures, we can arrive in Hatchet Green knowing what to expect.
- First, we locate the grease trap and look at the pipework around it.
- The sinks feeding the trap are kept out of use while we work.
- The trap is emptied of grease and food waste.
- We clean the chambers, baffles and connections.
- Once it’s refitted, water is run through to check it drains, and we take the waste with us.
How to prepare
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids

Aftercare tips
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Tell us when sinks start draining slowly
- Collect waste cooking oil separately
- Mention any increase in cooking
- Fit sink strainers to catch food scraps
We take the grease and solids away. Nothing is left for you to dispose of after the visit.
Setting regular cleans takes the guesswork out. The interval is set to suit the trap and the kitchen.
What a clean won’t put right
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Blockages in the public sewer beyond the property
- Collapsed or damaged drains, which need a drainage contractor
- Plumbing leaks around the sink
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will say what we think.
Parts of the system we cover
