Grease trap cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Hatchford End
Think of the grease trap as a filter for the kitchen’s drains. Kept clean, it does its job quietly, but neglected, it causes blockages and smells. A regular clean keeps it healthy. The work covers under-sink grease traps, school and care home kitchens and pot wash sinks, and common reasons people get in touch are washing-up water that won’t drain away and an overdue grease trap.
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.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with photos after every visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

FAQs for Hatchford End
Can you come to Hatchford End after we close?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. It means the site in Hatchford End keeps running as normal. Let us know the hours you are closed and we’ll book within them.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Hatchford End?
In Hatchford End, it’s Elmbridge council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Inspection results feed into the food hygiene rating published by the Food Standards Agency.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before we start, and waste is contained as we go. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
Do you clean under-sink and inline grease traps?
We clean under-sink traps, inline traps and interceptors. Let us know what’s fitted and we will plan the visit.
What happens if a grease trap is not cleaned?
A full trap cannot catch any more grease. It then sets in the drains, causing blockages and smells, and can add to fatbergs in the sewer.
What does a grease trap clean cost?
We price it once we know the trap and how often it needs cleaning. Get in touch and we will send you a fixed quote before any work starts.
What happens to the waste?
We take it away when we go. While we work, it’s kept contained to keep the area clean.
Will cleaning the grease trap fix a blocked drain?
Cleaning the trap deals with the grease it holds, and can clear the problem where the trap was the cause. Blockages further down the drain, or damaged pipework, need a drainage contractor.
Why act early in Hatchford End
In Hatchford End, as anywhere, grease trap cleaning is a short, routine visit. Waiting for a blockage turns it into an urgent problem and usually at the worst moment. A planned visit to Hatchford End is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
What you pay depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.

Looking after it afterwards
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Keep access to the trap clear
- Let us know if the kitchen gets busier
- Tell us when sinks start draining slowly
- Scrape plates and pans into the bin before washing up
Once the trap is cleaned and refitted, the sinks can be used right away. Water is run through to check everything flows before we leave.
If the kitchen has got busier, the trap fills faster. Shortening the cleaning interval now stops it overflowing.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and photos, so each one has its own record.
What the work involves, part by part
Grease interceptors
Interceptors separate grease the same way, on a larger scale. Grease floats and solids sink.
Inline grease traps
Inline traps often take waste from several sinks or appliances. More waste means faster filling.
What affects the cost of grease trap cleaning
There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- How easy every part is to reach
- The number of sites or systems
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.
