How we handle grease trap cleaning in Loxwood
Grease is behind most blocked kitchen drains. Further on, grease can build into fatbergs in the sewer. A grease trap that is emptied and cleaned regularly keeps them out of the drains. The work covers restaurants and takeaways, school and care home kitchens and inline grease traps, and people most often call us about a larger grease trap that needs emptying and a small trap that fills too quickly.
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.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

Different parts, different methods
School, care home and staff kitchens
Care home and hospital kitchens need their drains working all the time. We fit visits around mealtimes.
Under-sink grease traps
Under-sink traps are cleaned in a short visit, and check the lid and seals.
What a clean won’t put right
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so here are the limits:
- Drains that are cracked or have collapsed
- Grease set hard in the drain run
- A grease trap that’s too small for the kitchen
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll say what we think.

Grease trap cleaning in Loxwood: local notes

Having the dates of the last deep clean to hand saves digging for them on the day. We cover Loxwood, about 34 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.

What affects the quote in Loxwood
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Parking and loading at the site
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- The times the site is available
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before we start.
What we need to know
What to send for a quote:
- The postcode and the type of business
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
How it works
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your pictures. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, it takes a short visit for a small trap and longer for an inline unit or interceptor. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Loxwood run smoothly.
- First, we locate the grease trap and look at the pipework around it.
- 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.
- The trap is reassembled, checked for leaks and the waste taken away.
Getting ready for the visit
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Move anything stored near the system

FAQs for Loxwood
Do you work in villages like Loxwood?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Loxwood is covered. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Do you work at weekends in Loxwood?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. That way a site in Loxwood doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Let us know the hours you are closed and we will book within them.
Will I get paperwork for my records?
Yes. It’s the record insurers and inspectors ask to see: a dated report with pictures, listing the work and any areas we couldn’t reach.
How often should a grease trap be cleaned?
It varies. The interval depends on how quickly your trap fills, then suggest a schedule.
Where does the grease from the trap go?
The waste leaves with us. You are not left with anything to dispose of when we go.
How long does a grease trap clean take?
Each trap is a little different, but a clean generally takes an hour or so for an under-sink trap, longer for a larger unit. You will know before the visit.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, fully. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it, for sites that check contractor safety.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No, not in itself. TR19® is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs check against, and many insurance policies ask for proof of TR19® cleaning. The law behind it is the Fire Safety Order 2005, which applies in England and Wales.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Every visit ends with a dated report and photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
What happens if it’s left?
Wherever the kitchen is in Loxwood, backed-up drains stop it working. Sinks won’t empty, and dirty water can back up. Cleaning the grease trap on time helps prevent it. With notice, the visit to Loxwood can be fitted around your bookings and events.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.

Common problems we fix in Loxwood
For a kitchen in Loxwood or anywhere else, the trap is out of sight and out of mind. Hidden under a sink or in a floor it’s often left until there’s a problem.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Sinks that drain slowly
- A small trap that fills too quickly
- A regular cleaning plan for the grease trap
- A blocked kitchen drain caused by grease
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St John the Baptist or elsewhere in Loxwood, a deep clean and an emptied grease trap before a busy season of events are worth booking.
