Grease trap cleaning in Holt Pound
Grease traps sit between the sinks and the drain, holding back fats, oils and grease. As the waste water cools, the grease floats and stays in the trap while the water carries on to the drain. Over time, the trap fills up and has to be emptied and cleaned. If you’re dealing with a blocked kitchen drain caused by grease and scheduled grease trap emptying, we can help.
In a village or hamlet like Holt Pound, commercial kitchens are few, perhaps a pub, a school or a care home. Wherever there is one, it needs its grease trap and hard-to-reach areas kept clean.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so these are the things it will not cover:
- Grease deep in the drains, which needs jetting by a drainage contractor
- Blockages in the public sewer beyond the property
- Plumbing leaks around the sink
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll say what we think.

How we price grease trap cleaning
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- The condition of the system
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before work begins.
What to send for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- A few general shots of the system
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.
The process
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, it takes an hour or so for an under-sink trap, longer for a larger unit. Somewhere as small as Holt Pound, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- We start by finding the trap and checking its inlet and outlet.
- Nothing drains into the trap while it’s open.
- The trap is emptied of grease and food waste.
- We clean the chambers, baffles and connections.
- The trap is reassembled, checked for leaks and the waste taken away.
How to prepare
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
Ask for a quote
We don’t publish a price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, and then send you a fixed quote. To start, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that is where we come in.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.

For landlords and multi-site operators
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
Common problems we fix in Holt Pound
A busy kitchen in Holt Pound, or anywhere else, fills its grease trap faster. Traps sized for lighter use can struggle when cooking increases.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- Scheduled grease trap emptying
- An under-sink trap that keeps filling up
- Washing-up water that won’t drain away
- Gurgling drains in the kitchen
If you run event catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Farnham Castle is about 2.7 miles north-east), a deep clean before or after the busy season is worth planning.

Can one contract cover all our sites?

Do you deal with blocked drains beyond the grease trap?
Cleaning the trap deals with the grease it holds, and can clear the problem where the trap was the cause. A blockage deeper in the drains needs a drainage specialist.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a single café to a large school. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No. TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. The legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005: the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and TR19® is the benchmark for showing that grease in the extract is under control.
Do you take the waste away?
The fat, oil, grease and solids we remove go with us. None of it goes back into the drains, of course.
