How we handle grease trap cleaning in Horton
Think of the grease trap as a filter for the kitchen’s drains. Kept clean, it does its job quietly but left too long, it causes trouble. Routine cleaning keeps it in good working order. The work covers pot wash sinks, restaurants and takeaways and under-sink grease traps, and people most often call us about an under-sink trap that keeps filling up and grease setting in the kitchen pipework.
Rural kitchens may drain to a septic tank or a private drain rather than straight into a public sewer, and fat getting past a grease trap can cause real trouble there.
A written report with pictures follows each 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.

Why act early in Horton
A blocked drain can stop a kitchen in its tracks. Water won’t drain away and waste water can come back up. Cleaning the grease trap on time helps prevent it. In a small place like Horton, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we’ll price it together.

What a clean won’t put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work will not fix:

- A unit that cannot cope with the kitchen’s output
- Broken pipework below ground

- Kitchen waste pipes

What your team can do, and what needs us
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
How the visit works
The first job on site is protection: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes an hour or two in most kitchens, depending on the size and condition of the trap, and we clear up before we go. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Horton, let us know and we’ll plan around it.
- 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.
- The trap is closed, tested and the next clean discussed.
How to prepare
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system

What affects the quote in Horton
The survey tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The scale of the work
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re not sure what’s needed, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
You don’t need the technical terms. Just send:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Any previous report or certificate
- The site address and the type of premises
- A few general shots of the system
For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. We usually come back within one working day.

Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. There are about 17 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Horton. Send us your term dates when you phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we will fit the work in.
Will you come out to Horton?
Yes, Horton is part of our area, however small the site. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, as well as food production and leisure sites.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, depending on what the system needs.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. One number covers all your sites in our area, with visits on a regular schedule.
What do you do with what you remove?
We contain it and take it with us. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on, so it doesn’t spread.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we have been trading since 2009.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. For many sites, pictures and a few details are enough, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Every visit ends with a dated report and photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we will send a fixed quote.
Grease trap cleaning around Horton
Food Standards Agency data counts about 68 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 27 takeaways within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Horton. Wherever they wash pans and plates, fat heads for the drain unless a trap catches it. Kitchens in Horton get their food hygiene inspections from Epsom and Ewell council. They look at the cleanliness of the whole kitchen: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment. A record of each deep clean helps show the kitchen is kept in order.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Mary the Virgin or elsewhere in Horton, a deep clean and an emptied grease trap before a busy season of events are worth booking. Healthcare kitchens cook through the year, so a deep clean has to be fitted around meals; Epsom Cluster, about 0.6 miles south-east, is the nearest hospital to Horton.
