Inline grease traps
An inline trap sits in the pipework between the kitchen and the drain. They’re larger than under-sink traps but still need regular emptying.
Grease trap cleaning in Martin
Grease traps sit between the sinks and the drain, holding back fats, oils and grease. As the waste water cools, the grease floats and stays in the trap while the water carries on to the drain. Eventually it fills and needs emptying and cleaning. The work covers school and care home kitchens, pot wash sinks and kitchen waste pipes, and common reasons people get in touch are an under-sink unit that needs regular emptying and sinks that drain slowly.
In a village or hamlet like Martin, commercial kitchens are few, perhaps a pub, a school or a care home. Wherever there is one, it needs its grease trap and hard-to-reach areas kept clean.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

What happens on the day
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. The visit takes a short visit for a small trap and longer for an inline unit or interceptor. Somewhere as small as Martin, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- First, we locate the grease trap and look at the pipework around it.
- Nothing drains into the trap while it’s open.
- Built-up fat, oil and grease is removed from the trap.
- Every part of the trap is scraped and cleaned, including the baffles.
- We put it back together, run water through and remove the waste.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms

What your team can do, and what needs us
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. Leave those to us.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
What happens if it’s left?
Wherever the kitchen is in Martin, backed-up drains stop it working. Sinks won’t empty and waste water can come back up. Cleaning the grease trap on time helps prevent it. A planned visit to Martin is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
You will not find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and we will talk you through it.

Aftercare tips
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Wipe grease off pans before washing them
- Mention any increase in cooking
- Keep waste oil out of the drains
- Do not store things on top of the trap
You will get our view on how often the trap needs cleaning. 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.
