Grease trap cleaning in Lucas Green, done properly
A grease trap is the kitchen drain’s first line of protection. Kept clean, it does its job quietly but left too long, it causes trouble. A regular clean keeps it healthy. We are often asked to deal with a routine grease trap service and drains that gurgle and bubble, on restaurants and takeaways, kitchen waste pipes and under-sink grease traps.
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.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with photos, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

More services for Lucas Green
Multi-site and managed buildings
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 are happy to quote for all of it.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Different parts, different methods
Under-sink grease traps
An under-sink trap is out of sight. When they fill, the sink slows and starts to smell.
Inline grease traps
Inline traps are fitted into the drain line. They’re larger than under-sink traps but still need regular emptying.
When something else is needed
Before you book, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Grease deep in the drains, which needs jetting by a drainage contractor
- Drains that are cracked or have collapsed
- A leaking sink waste or trap connection
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will say what we think.
Where we work
- Under-sink grease traps
- Restaurants and takeaways
- Inline grease traps
- Kitchen waste pipes
- School and care home kitchens
- Pot wash sinks
When to call us in Lucas Green
Hot water and detergent carry grease further than you’d expect. Once it cools, it sets, often in the trap or the pipe beyond.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A routine grease trap service
- A full, neglected grease trap
- Drains clogged with fat
- A small trap that fills too quickly
Where a church or community hall near Holy Trinity, or anywhere in Lucas Green, has a kitchen used by volunteers, a periodic deep clean keeps it ready for the next event.

Advice
Grease trap cleaning in Lucas Green: local notes
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 3 food manufacturers and packers within about 1.5 miles of central Lucas Green. For food producers, the grease trap schedule should follow the volume going through it. In Lucas Green, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Surrey Heath council. They look at the cleanliness of the whole kitchen: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment. Having the dates of the last deep clean to hand saves digging for them on the day.
Healthcare kitchens cook through the year, so a deep clean has to be fitted around meals; Brookwood Hospital, about 1.8 miles south-east, is the nearest hospital to Lucas Green. School kitchens, at schools like Bisley CofE Primary School for example, typically have their deep cleans and grease trap work done while the canteen is closed.

Common questions in Lucas Green
Do you work in school kitchens around Lucas Green out of term?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. Food Standards Agency records list about 4 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Lucas Green. Send us your term dates when you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we’ll fit the work in.
Do you work in villages like Lucas Green?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Lucas Green is covered. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Which sectors do you work in?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. We fit the work around how the site operates.
What is TR19?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
Protection goes down first: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
How far ahead should we book?
Earlier is better, particularly for night and weekend visits. We typically quote within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
What do you do with the waste?
We remove all the waste we take out. It is not poured back down the drain, of course.
How regularly does a grease trap need emptying?
It depends on the size of the trap and how busy the kitchen is. Small under-sink units fill faster than larger traps, and busy kitchens fill them faster still. We will recommend a schedule once we have seen it.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. That’s our job.
