How we handle grease trap cleaning in Longparish
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 while the water carries on to the drain. Eventually it fills and has to be emptied and cleaned. The work covers kitchen waste pipes, under-sink grease traps and school and care home kitchens, and common reasons people get in touch are a regular cleaning plan for the grease trap and an under-sink unit that needs regular emptying.
In rural areas, a kitchen may drain to a private system rather than a public sewer, and fat getting past a grease trap can cause real trouble there.
A written report with photos follows every visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Part by part
School, care home and staff kitchens
Drains in care settings need to keep flowing. We fit visits around mealtimes.
Restaurant and takeaway kitchens
Busy kitchens can’t afford a blocked drain. Regular trap cleaning helps prevent it.
What we’re called out for in Longparish
A full trap cannot hold any more grease. It then builds up in the drains and the sewer beyond, where it can form blockages.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- A slow-draining kitchen sink
- An under-sink unit that needs regular emptying
- A blocked kitchen drain caused by grease
- A full, neglected grease trap
A summer deep clean suits schools such as Longparish Church of England Primary School, as the kitchen can be stripped back with no lunches to serve.
Questions to ask before you book

- What records you will receive afterwards
- What insurance they carry
- When the next visit should be, and why
Managing agents and facilities teams in Longparish
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
How it works
There are three stages on the day: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, and the sign-off is a written report with photos. The middle part takes longest, which takes anything from under an hour to a few hours, depending on the trap. Visits to a village like Longparish are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- We start by finding the trap and checking its inlet and outlet.
- We ask for the sinks that drain into the trap not to be used.
- The trap is emptied of grease and food waste.
- Every part of the trap is scraped and cleaned, including the baffles.
- We put it back together, run water through and remove the waste.
How to prepare
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
Getting a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts.

How we price grease trap cleaning
The survey tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- The scale of the work
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Travel, parking and unloading
- A single visit or a regular plan
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before work begins.
What we need to know
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- The postcode and the type of business
- A few general shots of the system
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, pictures of the system and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
FAQs for Longparish
Can you come to Longparish after we close?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. It means the site in Longparish keeps running as normal. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Is Longparish within the area you cover?
Yes. Longparish is within the area we cover across London and the South East. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
Will I get paperwork for my records?
Yes, always. It’s a dated, written report with photos, and TR19® Grease cleans come with a certificate through the BESCA VHE portal. File it with your fire safety records.
What types of grease trap do you clean?
We cover under-sink, inline and interceptor units. They’re emptied, cleaned and checked in the same careful way.
Can you give me a price for grease trap cleaning?
Every trap is different, so we quote once we know what you have. We give you a fixed price, normally within one working day.
What paperwork should we keep on file?
Every certificate and report from each visit, filed in the maintenance log, along with your own cleaning log. BESA advises that certificates record the date, location and technician.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Usually not. Out-of-hours visits keep the disruption down. Larger jobs can be phased over several visits so parts stay in use.

Aftercare tips
So the system stays in good health:
- Get food waste into the bin, not the sink
- Hot water only moves grease further down
- Keep waste oil out of the drains
- Don’t wait for a blockage to book a clean
We will suggest when the trap should be cleaned again. It’s based on how full it was and how busy the kitchen is.
A fixed cleaning interval means the trap never gets overfull. The interval is set to suit the trap and the kitchen.

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.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
