Grease trap cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Lower Cox Street
We clean grease traps for kitchens in Lower Cox Street, whether it’s an under-sink unit or a larger inline trap. Visits are booked around your service, so the kitchen keeps running. If you’re dealing with a slow-draining kitchen sink and gurgling drains in the kitchen, we can put it right, from inline grease traps, under-sink grease traps and restaurants and takeaways 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.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Common problems we fix in Lower Cox Street
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.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Foul odours from the grease trap
- A full, neglected grease trap
- A larger grease trap that needs emptying
- Drains clogged with fat
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like KIMS hospital about 2.8 miles south-west, deep cleans and grease trap visits are planned so meals still go out.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
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 give you a fixed quote.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
What the work involves, part by part
Inline grease traps
Inline traps often take waste from several sinks or appliances. More waste means faster filling.
Under-sink grease traps
We empty and clean under-sink traps without disrupting the rest of the kitchen, and check the lid and seals.

Between visits
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Tell us if your menu or hours change
- Act on gurgling or smelly drains
- Use strainers in the sink plugholes
- Do not rely on hot water to clear grease
Once the trap is cleaned and refitted, the sinks can be used straight away. Water is run through to check everything flows before we go.
Slow sinks and a bad smell are early warnings. Acting at this stage usually prevents a blockage down the line.
What a clean won’t put right
Not every problem is solved by grease trap cleaning, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t put right:
- Drains that are cracked or have collapsed
- A grease trap that is too small for the kitchen
- Sewer problems outside the premises
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll say what we think.

What we do, step by step
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool first, and the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes an hour or so for an under-sink trap, longer for a larger unit. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Lower Cox Street before we set off.
- We agree a time when the sinks are not needed.
- The trap is opened up and checked.
- We remove the grease layer and settled solids.
- We clean the baffles, inlet and outlet.
- The trap is closed, tested and the next clean discussed.
Preparing for the visit
