Grease trap cleaning in Mickleham
Kitchens in Mickleham use us for grease trap cleaning, whether it’s an under-sink unit or a larger inline trap. Visits are booked around your service so washing up is not interrupted. If you have grease setting in the kitchen pipework and a regular cleaning plan for the grease trap, we can put it right.
Somewhere as small as Mickleham, the kitchens that need a deep clean are normally a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still needs the occasional deep clean and its grease trap kept clear.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

What staff can safely do
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
Grease trap cleaning around Mickleham
Food Standards Agency records include about 3 pubs and bars and about 3 hotels and guest houses in and around Mickleham, up to about a mile and a half out. Where they run a kitchen, it needs the same deep cleaning and grease trap care as any restaurant. Kitchens in Mickleham get their food hygiene inspections from Mole Valley council. Grease behind equipment or on a ceiling is the kind of thing an inspection can note. 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; Headley Court, about 2.4 miles north-east, is the nearest hospital to Mickleham. A summer deep clean suits schools such as St Michael's CofE Aided Infant School, as the kitchen can be stripped back with no lunches to serve. If you run event catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Polesden Lacey is about 2.4 miles west), a deep clean before or after the busy season is worth planning.

How it works
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the work takes anything from under an hour to a few hours, depending on the trap. A few photos of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Mickleham.
- We find the trap and check how it’s connected.
- The sinks feeding the trap are kept out of use while we work.
- We take out the layer of fat, oil and grease and any solids.
- The inside, baffles and pipe connections are cleaned.
- We put it back together, run water through and remove the waste.
Before we arrive
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend

What else we do in Mickleham
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Keeping the system healthy
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Tell us when sinks start draining slowly
- Never pour used oil down the sink
- Let us know if the kitchen gets busier
- Keep strainers in every sink
We take the grease and solids away. Nothing is left for you to dispose of when we are done.
Setting regular cleans takes the guesswork out. We agree the timing with you.
Common questions in Mickleham
Do you cover smaller places like Mickleham?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Mickleham included. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Who inspects food businesses in Mickleham?
Kitchens in Mickleham are inspected by Mole Valley council’s environmental health officers. How often a business is inspected depends on the council’s risk rating for it, so the kitchen needs to be ready at any time.
How much does grease trap cleaning cost?
No two traps are quite the same, so we price each one individually. We give you a fixed price, typically within one working day.
Can you clear our blocked drains as well?
We clean the trap, not the drain network. Where the problem is further down the drain, we will say so and suggest a drainage contractor.
What does TR19 mean?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It is not law, but it’s the benchmark.
Do the sinks have to be out of use during the clean?
While the trap is being cleaned, nothing can drain into it. That is why we time visits around service to keep disruption down.
Which records should we keep?
Everything that shows the system is looked after: reports, certificates, pictures and your own cleaning or check logs. One maintenance log per site keeps it simple.
Does the report say when we need you again?
Yes. Every report includes a recommended date for the next visit, based on use and what we found.
