Grease trap cleaning in Highstreet Green
Once a trap is full, grease passes straight through. Further down the pipe, the grease cools and hardens, leading to slow drains, blockages and smells. Regular cleaning keeps it working. The work covers under-sink grease traps, kitchen waste pipes and pot wash sinks, and common reasons people get in touch are drains clogged with fat 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.
A written report with pictures follows each 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.

Common questions in Highstreet Green
Which environmental health team covers Highstreet Green?
The local authority for Highstreet Green is Waverley council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. Keep the dates of your last deep clean and grease trap visit with your food safety records, ready if an officer asks.
Do you work at weekends in Highstreet Green?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The site is handed back ready to open. Just ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Do you deal with blocked drains beyond the grease trap?
We clean the trap, not the drain network. If the drain beyond the trap is blocked or damaged, we will tell you so you can call a drainage contractor.
Where does the grease from the trap go?
We remove all the waste we take out. It isn’t poured back down the drain, of course.
What’s the right interval for grease trap cleaning?
It varies with the trap and the kitchen. If the sinks start to drain slowly between cleans, it’s too long, and we can shorten it.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so we can schedule a run of sites on one programme. Each site gets its own report and pictures.
Do I get a report after the visit?
Yes. It’s your proof that the work was done: a dated report with pictures, listing the work and any areas we couldn’t reach.
What about areas you cannot get to?
Anything we cannot reach goes on the report, with pictures where possible, and we tell you what would make it reachable, such as extra access panels in ductwork.

What affects the cost of grease trap cleaning
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- The size of the system
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The condition of the system
- How many systems or sites are involved
The cost depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.
Helping us quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- A few general shots of the system
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before any work starts.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. That’s our job.
When it’s something else
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so here are the limits:
- Drains that need jetting rather than trap cleaning
- Collapsed or damaged drains, which need a drainage contractor
- A leaking sink waste or trap connection
If you are not sure, just call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer.
What the work covers
- Inline grease traps
- Restaurants and takeaways
- School and care home kitchens
- Kitchen waste pipes
- Under-sink grease traps
- Pot wash sinks
How the job changes from site to site
Restaurant and takeaway kitchens
A blocked drain in a busy kitchen can stop service. Regular trap cleaning helps prevent it.
Grease interceptors
A larger unit takes more time to empty and clean and we allow for that.
Do you need grease trap cleaning in Highstreet Green?
Waste cooking oil poured down the sink overloads the trap fast. Small amounts soon build up.
These are the problems we see most often:
- A routine grease trap service
- Sinks that drain slowly
- A larger grease trap that needs emptying
- An overdue grease trap
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Milford Hospital (about 4.4 miles north), cook for long hours, so deep cleans and grease trap work are planned around patients’ meals.
Questions to ask before you book
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
- How they set the interval to the next visit

We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes an hour or so for an under-sink trap, longer for a larger unit. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Highstreet Green.
- We agree a time when the sinks are not needed.
- The trap is opened up and checked.
- Built-up grease and food waste are taken out.
- The inside, baffles and outlet are cleaned.
- The trap is closed, tested and the next clean discussed.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Move anything stored near the system
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
