How we price grease trap cleaning
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- The condition of the system
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
You will not find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll explain what it covers.
Asking for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- A few general shots of the system
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before any work starts.
How we handle grease trap cleaning in Hollywater
A grease trap catches fats, oils and grease from the kitchen sinks before they reach the drain. As the waste water cools, the grease floats and stays in the trap, and clean water flows on. Over time, the trap fills up and has to be emptied and cleaned. The work covers pot wash sinks, kitchen waste pipes and inline grease traps, and the jobs we see most are a small trap that fills too quickly and foul odours from the grease trap.
For a kitchen in or near Hollywater, the visit is planned ahead, around opening times and the journey.
We’ve been trading since 2009, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

How the job changes from site to site
Baffles and outlets
Baffles inside the trap slow the water so grease can separate. Grease clings to them, so we clean them.
Restaurant and takeaway kitchens
Busy kitchens cannot afford a blocked drain. Keeping the trap clean reduces the risk.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
The process
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your pictures. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes an hour or so for an under-sink trap, longer for a larger unit. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Hollywater and turn up when the site is quiet.
- We agree a time when the sinks aren’t needed.
- The trap is opened up and checked.
- We remove the grease layer and settled solids.
- The inside, baffles and outlet are cleaned.
- We close it up, check it drains and suggest when it needs cleaning again.
Preparing for the visit
- Move anything stored near the system
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
How to get a quote
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, photos of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.

Common questions in Hollywater
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Hollywater?
The local authority for Hollywater is East Hampshire council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. An officer may look behind equipment and at drains, so it pays to have the deep clean booked before those areas build up.
Will you come out to Hollywater?
Yes. Hollywater is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Will you tell us when the next visit is due?
Yes. The report recommends when the next visit should be, based on use and what we found.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, any time. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line, and we will advise on what to do next.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and we can share the details when you need them.
How long will the sinks be out of use?
A typical clean takes an hour or so for an under-sink trap, longer for a larger unit, including testing. We plan the visit around your service.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes, of course. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we will propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. We keep the work contained and leave the area clean.

Kitchens like these wash fat, oil and grease down the sink every day, and a grease trap is what stops it reaching the sewer. Environmental health officers from East Hampshire council inspect food businesses in Hollywater. Grease behind equipment or on a ceiling is the kind of thing an inspection can note. Having the dates of the last deep clean to hand saves digging for them on the day.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Woodlea Primary School or anywhere near Hollywater, the holidays are the time for a deep clean or a grease trap clean. If you look after a hall kitchen near St Mark's Sacred Church or anywhere in Hollywater, a deep clean between busy seasons is easier than a scramble before a big event.

Aftercare tips
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Collect waste cooking oil separately
- Act on gurgling or smelly drains
- Hot water only moves grease further down
- Make sure the trap can be reached easily
Between cleans, keep food scraps out of the sink. Sink strainers help catch solids before they reach the trap.
More cooking means more grease in the trap. Shortening the cleaning interval now keeps the drains flowing.
What a clean won’t put right
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Leaking pipework or sink wastes, which need a plumber
- A unit that cannot cope with the kitchen’s output
- Grease set hard in the drain run
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll say what we think.
