How we handle grease trap cleaning in Leeds
We clean grease traps for kitchens in Leeds, whether it’s an under-sink unit or a larger inline trap. We come when the sinks aren’t needed so washing up isn’t interrupted. The work covers school and care home kitchens, under-sink grease traps and restaurants and takeaways, and the jobs we see most are an under-sink trap that keeps filling up and drains clogged with fat.
In rural areas, a kitchen may drain to a private system rather than a public sewer, so keeping fat out with a working grease trap matters even more.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

What happens if it’s left?
A full grease trap lets grease through to the drains. There it sets and narrows the pipe until water cannot get through. Regular trap cleaning beats dealing with a blockage. Somewhere as small as Leeds, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
The cost depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.

Your questions about grease trap cleaning in Leeds
Can you come to Leeds after we close?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. That way a site in Leeds does not have to lose a day’s trading. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Will you come out to Leeds?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Leeds is covered. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
How regularly does a grease trap need emptying?
It depends on the size of the trap and how busy the kitchen is. A small trap fills more quickly than a large one and the busier the kitchen, the faster it fills. We will suggest an interval after the first clean.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and TR19® is the benchmark for showing that grease in the extract is under control.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We carry full insurance and have been trading since 2009.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not normally. Booking the work out of hours means the site can carry on as normal. Larger jobs can be phased over several visits so parts stay in use.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a small pub to a hospital. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
Do I get a report after the visit?
Yes. It’s your proof that the work was done: a dated report with pictures, listing the work and any areas we couldn’t reach.
Grease trap cleaning in Leeds: local notes
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 6 restaurants, cafés and works canteens within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Leeds. Kitchens like these wash fat, oil and grease down the sink every day, and a grease trap is what stops it reaching the sewer. We cover Leeds, about 35 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you. Kitchens in Leeds get their food hygiene inspections from Maidstone 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 catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like KIMS hospital about 3.4 miles north-west, deep cleans and grease trap visits are planned so meals still go out. Where a church or community hall near St Nicholas's Church, or anywhere in Leeds, has a kitchen used by volunteers, a periodic deep clean keeps it ready for the next event.

What else we do in Leeds
How it works
There are three stages on the day: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, and the sign-off is a written report with photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, which takes an hour or so for an under-sink trap, longer for a larger unit. In a small place like Leeds, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- We agree a time when the sinks aren’t needed.
- We open the trap and look at its condition.
- Built-up grease and food waste are taken out.
- We clean the baffles, inlet and outlet.
- The trap is closed, tested and the next clean discussed.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
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 on a regular cycle.
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
What we are called out for in Leeds
Food waste slips past sink strainers or gets rinsed down. Solids settle at the bottom of the trap and takes up space.
Clients typically contact us after spotting something like this:
- A regular cleaning plan for the grease trap
- Grease setting in the kitchen pipework
- An overdue grease trap
- An under-sink unit that needs regular emptying
Half-term is a good time for school kitchens, at schools like Leeds and Broomfield Church of England Primary School for instance, to have the grease trap emptied and the kitchen deep cleaned.
Before you book anyone
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- Whether they’re fully insured
- What paperwork you get at the end
- Whether the figure could change on the day

How the job changes from site to site
Inline grease traps
Inline traps often take waste from several sinks or appliances. More waste means faster filling.
Grease interceptors
An interceptor works on the same principle as a smaller trap. Grease floats and solids sink.
