Grease trap cleaning in Hurstbourne Tarrant
A neglected grease trap stops doing its job. Further down the pipe, the grease cools and hardens and the result is blocked drains and bad smells. A trap that’s cleaned regularly keeps grease where it belongs. If you have gurgling drains in the kitchen and a regular cleaning plan for the grease trap, we can put it right, from kitchen waste pipes, under-sink grease traps and inline grease traps onwards.
Rural kitchens may drain to a septic tank or a private drain rather than straight into a public sewer, so keeping fat out with a working grease trap matters even more.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That is why every job is written up in a report with pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Under-sink grease traps
An under-sink trap is out of sight. A full one shows itself with a slow, smelly sink.
Baffles and outlets
Clean water leaves through the outlet. A blocked outlet stops the trap working.
How we price grease trap cleaning
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:
- What state the system is in
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Travel, parking and unloading
- How big the system is
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.
What to send for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- A few general shots of the system
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
Want a quote for grease trap cleaning? Please phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and tell us about the site. We will talk you through the work and send you a fixed quote before you commit to anything.
What we do, step by step
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes an hour or so for an under-sink trap, longer for a larger unit. A few pictures of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Hurstbourne Tarrant.
- We start by finding the trap and checking its inlet and outlet.
- The sinks feeding the trap are kept out of use while we work.
- The trap is emptied of grease and food waste.
- We clean the chambers, baffles and connections.
- We put it back together, run water through and remove the waste.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions

Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
Common problems we fix in Hurstbourne Tarrant
Food scraps go down the sink with the washing-up water. It settles in the trap as solids and takes up space.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Grease setting in the kitchen pipework
- A larger grease trap that needs emptying
- A slow-draining kitchen sink
- Scheduled grease trap emptying
School kitchens, at schools like Hurstbourne Tarrant Church of England Primary School for example, normally have their deep cleans and grease trap work done while the canteen is closed.
Comparing quotes
- What insurance they carry
- Whether the price is fixed
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
Between visits
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Tell us when sinks start draining slowly
- Wipe grease off pans before washing them
- Never pour used oil down the sink
- Avoid pouring boiling water down to shift grease
The sinks are ready to use as soon as we have finished. We run water through to check it drains before we go.
If the sinks are slow or smelly, the trap may be full. Getting it cleaned now can stop a full blockage down the line.
