Grease trap cleaning in Hearnden Green, done properly
Grease is behind most blocked kitchen drains. Further on, grease can build into fatbergs in the sewer. A well-maintained trap keeps them out of the drains. If you are dealing with a full, neglected grease trap and an interceptor full of grease and solids, we can help.
For a kitchen in or near Hearnden Green, the visit is planned ahead, around opening times and the journey.
A written report with pictures follows every visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What affects the cost of grease trap cleaning
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We consider:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- The condition we find in the survey
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- The scale of the work
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.

- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall

FAQs for Hearnden Green
Do you clean school kitchens in Hearnden Green in the summer holidays?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. With about 2 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Hearnden Green, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Do you work at weekends in Hearnden Green?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The site is handed back ready to open. When you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, mention when the site is quiet.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
The report shows them clearly. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, which we can install.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site in our area, with visits on a regular schedule.
Are you accredited?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We have been trading since 2009 and we are fully insured.
What do you do with the waste?
We remove all the waste we take out. None of it goes back into the drains, of course.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, either from pictures and details you send or on a site visit. Then you get a fixed quote.
Do you clean under-sink and inline grease traps?
We cover under-sink, inline and interceptor units. They’re emptied, cleaned and checked in the same careful way.
Different parts, different methods
School, care home and staff kitchens
Care home and hospital kitchens need their drains working all the time. Visits are planned between meals.
Baffles and outlets
Every clean includes the baffles, inlet and outlet so the trap works as it should.
How it works
There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, while signing off means the written report and photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, which takes a short visit for a small trap and longer for an inline unit or interceptor. Somewhere like Hearnden Green, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- We start by finding the trap and checking its inlet and outlet.
- The sinks feeding the trap are kept out of use while we work.
- We take out the layer of fat, oil and grease and any solids.
- Every part of the trap is scraped and cleaned, including the baffles.
- The trap is reassembled, checked for leaks and the waste taken away.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool

Why deal with it now?
A blocked drain can stop a kitchen in its tracks. Sinks won’t empty, and dirty water can back up. Cleaning the grease trap on time helps prevent it. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before we start.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
