Headley Down grease trap cleaning
Professional grease trap cleaning in and around Headley Down, timed so the site keeps working and finished with a written report and photos.
- An interceptor full of grease and solids
- Gurgling from the sink waste
- An overdue grease trap
Aftercare tips
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Act on gurgling or smelly drains
- Use strainers in the sink plugholes
- Keep waste oil out of the drains
- Let us know if the kitchen gets busier
Scrape plates into the bin before washing up. Sink strainers help catch solids so less solid waste gets through.
Setting regular cleans takes the guesswork out. We agree the timing with you.
How we handle grease trap cleaning in Headley Down
A grease trap catches fats, oils and grease from the kitchen sinks before they reach the drain. Cooling water lets the grease rise and separate, and clean water flows on. Eventually it fills and needs emptying and cleaning. The work covers inline grease traps, restaurants and takeaways and kitchen waste pipes, and common reasons people get in touch are grease setting in the kitchen pipework and a slow-draining kitchen sink.
In a smaller place like Headley Down, commercial kitchens are more likely to be a pub, a café, a takeaway or a school or care home kitchen. Smaller kitchens still collect grease behind equipment and in the drains.
A written report with photos follows every visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What affects the quote in Headley Down
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- The condition we find in the survey
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- How many systems or sites are involved
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we’ll price it together.
What we need to know
What to send for a quote:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, and then give you a fixed quote. To start, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Honest limits
Grease trap cleaning can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It does not solve:
- Drains that need jetting rather than trap cleaning
- A grease trap that’s too small for the kitchen
- Drains that are cracked or have collapsed
If you’re not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll give you a straight answer.

- We agree a time when the sinks aren’t needed.

- We remove the grease layer and settled solids.
