Grease trap cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Littleton Common
Kitchens in Littleton Common use us for grease trap cleaning, whether it’s an under-sink unit or a larger inline trap. We come when the sinks are not needed, so the kitchen keeps running. We are often asked to deal with sinks that drain slowly and a bad smell from the sinks or drains, across restaurants and takeaways, school and care home kitchens and under-sink grease traps.
For a kitchen in or near Littleton Common, the visit is planned ahead, around opening times and the journey, and the deep clean is the same as anywhere: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What staff can safely do
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.
Littleton Common: your questions answered
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Littleton Common?
The local authority for Littleton Common is Spelthorne council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. Inspection results feed into the food hygiene rating published by the Food Standards Agency.
Can the work in Littleton Common be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The work in Littleton Common can fit around your hours. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Does the report say when we need you again?
Yes. The interval depends on how much the system is used and what we find, and we explain the reasoning on the report.
Which records should we keep?
Everything that shows the system is looked after: reports, certificates, photos and your own cleaning or check logs. One maintenance log per site keeps it simple.
Can you clear our blocked drains as well?
We clean the trap, not the drain network. Where the problem is further down the drain, we’ll say so and suggest a drainage contractor.
How regularly does a grease trap need emptying?
It varies with the trap and the kitchen. Slow or smelly sinks between cleans mean it needs doing more often and we’ll adjust the schedule.
Will I get paperwork for my records?
Yes. It’s the record insurers and inspectors ask to see: a written, dated record with pictures of what we did and anything we couldn’t access.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not typically. Out-of-hours visits keep the disruption down. Bigger sites can be done in stages to keep things running.

Advice
How we price grease trap cleaning
The price is fixed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- The condition we find in the survey
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- The scale of the work
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.
What we need to know
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Useful things to send:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The site address and the type of premises
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
Do you need grease trap cleaning in Littleton Common?
Fats, oils and grease from cooking and washing up go down the sink. They cool and float to the top of the trap, and the layer gets thicker day by day.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A regular cleaning plan for the grease trap
- Grease setting in the kitchen pipework
- Washing-up water that won’t drain away
- A kitchen drain that smells
School kitchens, at schools like Ashford CofE Primary School for example, normally have their deep cleans and grease trap work done while the canteen is closed.
What your quote should include
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- Whether VAT is included
