Grease trap cleaning in Hurtmore
A grease trap catches fats, oils and grease from the kitchen sinks before they reach the drain. Cooling water lets the grease rise and separate, and clean water flows on. Over time, the trap fills up and has to be emptied and cleaned. If you have gurgling from the sink waste and an inline trap or interceptor due for cleaning, we can help, from restaurants and takeaways, school and care home kitchens and pot wash sinks onwards.
In a village or hamlet like Hurtmore, commercial kitchens are few, perhaps a pub, a school or a care home. Each still needs the occasional deep clean and its grease trap kept clear.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with pictures of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

What happens on the day
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and the same goes into the written report. All told, the work takes anything from under an hour to a few hours, depending on the trap. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Hurtmore, let us know and we’ll plan around it.
- First, we locate the grease trap and look at the pipework around it.
- Nothing drains into the trap while it’s open.
- Built-up fat, oil and grease is removed from the trap.
- Every part of the trap is scraped and cleaned, including the baffles.
- Once it’s refitted, water is run through to check it drains, and we take the waste with us.
How to prepare
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down

What happens if it’s left?
Grease that gets past the trap doesn’t disappear. It can build up in the drains and join fatbergs in the sewer. Keeping it in the trap, and emptying the trap, is the responsible thing to do. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
We do not list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, and we will talk you through it.

Fixed quotes for grease trap cleaning in Hurtmore

What to send for a quote

Grease trap cleaning around Hurtmore
Look up Hurtmore on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 30 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 8 takeaways and sandwich shops within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Hurtmore. Fat from washing up sets hard in pipes, and kitchens like these produce plenty of it. Food hygiene inspections in Hurtmore are the job of Guildford council’s environmental health team. 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.

Honest limits
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Drains that are cracked or have collapsed
- Grease deep in the drains, which needs jetting by a drainage contractor
- A unit that can’t cope with the kitchen’s output

What your team can do, and what needs us
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Common questions in Hurtmore
Which council inspects kitchens in Hurtmore?
In Hurtmore, it’s Guildford council that carries out food hygiene inspections. How often a business is inspected depends on the council’s risk rating for it, so the kitchen needs to be ready at any time.
Will you come out to Hurtmore?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, to suit the system and how it’s used.
What about areas you cannot get to?
They’re marked on the report. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, and we can fit those.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
Will the grease trap clean disrupt the kitchen?
While the trap is being cleaned, nothing can drain into it. We book the visit around your service so the kitchen isn’t held up.
Which records should we keep?
The reports and certificates from each visit, plus your own logs. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs may all ask to see them, so keep them together and easy to find.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. One number covers all your sites in our area, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
How the job changes from site to site
Baffles and outlets
We check the inlet, outlet and baffles at each clean so water flows freely.
Restaurant and takeaway kitchens
Visits are booked when the sinks aren’t in use so the kitchen is not disrupted.
What we are called out for in Hurtmore
Food waste slips past sink strainers or gets rinsed down. It settles in the trap as solids and fill it from below.
Most sites get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Grease setting in the kitchen pipework
- Foul odours from the grease trap
- A regular cleaning plan for the grease trap
- A slow-draining kitchen sink
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Milford Hospital about 2.4 miles south, deep cleans and grease trap visits are planned so meals still go out.
