Signs you need grease trap cleaning in Horsell
Oil tipped down the drain instead of being collected fills a grease trap far faster than washing-up. Small amounts soon build up.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Sinks that drain slowly
- An under-sink unit that needs regular emptying
- An overdue grease trap
- Scheduled grease trap emptying
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Mary the Virgin or elsewhere in Horsell, a deep clean and an emptied grease trap before a busy season of events are worth booking.
Questions to ask before booking
- What hours they’ll be on site
- Whether they recommend a next date
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- Whether VAT is included
Grease trap cleaning in Horsell
Every trap is different. Under-sink units are small and fill quickly and larger traps hold more grease before they fill. We assess the trap and how fast it fills and suggest an interval that suits. If you’re dealing with a bad smell from the sinks or drains and an inline trap or interceptor due for cleaning, we can put it right.
Kitchens around a smaller place like Horsell are often in older buildings, with drains and grease traps that have been there for years. A blocked drain or a smelly grease trap is normally the first sign.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That is why every job is written up in a report with pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

How it works
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and it goes on the report too. All told, the work takes an hour or so for an under-sink trap, longer for a larger unit. Tell us when your site near Horsell is quiet and the visit will be booked for then.
- We locate the trap and check how it’s fitted.
- We make sure nothing drains into the trap.
- We empty out the fat, oil, grease and solids.
- The chambers and baffles are cleaned.
- We refit it, run water through and remove the waste.
How to prepare
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
How to get a quote
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and photos, and we usually reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.

- Site rules, permits and inductions
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The times the site is available
- The scale of the work
What you pay depends on how big the system is, what state 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.
What we need to know
To speed up the quote, please include:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Your last certificate, test record or report

Looking after it afterwards
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Wipe grease off pans before washing them
- Let us know if the kitchen gets busier
- Book trap cleans at a set interval
- Collect waste cooking oil separately
The waste we remove leaves with us. Nothing is left for you to dispose of when we are done.
Grease that gets past the trap sets in the drains. Once it’s there, it needs a drainage contractor to clear, so it’s far better to keep the trap clean.
Your questions about grease trap cleaning in Horsell
Can you work in school kitchens in Horsell during the holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. The FSA’s register shows about 13 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Horsell. You can call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with the dates the site is empty.
Can the work in Horsell be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The site is handed back ready to open. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Will you tell us when the next visit is due?
Yes. We put a recommended next date on the report. For kitchen extracts, BESA’s minimum intervals run from every 3 months for heavy use to every 12 months for light use, while fire dampers are tested at least annually.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, every time. We diagnose before we treat: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it and the fixed quote is built on it.
Are you accredited?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We’ve been trading since 2009 and we’re fully insured.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so sites at different addresses can be planned together as one programme. Each site gets its own report and photos.
Who is the responsible person?
That depends on who controls the premises. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, facilities manager or managing agent.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
