Grease trap cleaning in Mid Lavant
Every trap is different. Under-sink units are small and fill quickly, while inline traps and interceptors hold more. We assess the trap and how fast it fills and suggest an interval that suits. Typical jobs include an overdue grease trap and a larger grease trap that needs emptying, on under-sink grease traps, kitchen waste pipes and inline grease traps.
In a village or hamlet like Mid Lavant, commercial kitchens are few, perhaps a pub, a school or a care home. Each still needs the occasional deep clean and its grease trap kept clear.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

Between visits
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Keep the grease trap on a regular cleaning schedule
- Don’t store things on top of the trap
- Tell us when sinks start draining slowly
- Keep strainers in every sink
The waste we remove leaves with us. Nothing is left for you to dispose of after the visit.
More cooking means more grease in the trap. Shortening the cleaning interval now keeps the drains flowing.
For landlords and multi-site operators
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.

Your questions about grease trap cleaning in Mid Lavant
Do you work in villages like Mid Lavant?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Can a school kitchen in Mid Lavant be done out of term time?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. The FSA’s register shows about 3 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Mid Lavant. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
How long does a grease trap clean take?
A typical clean takes a short visit for a small trap and longer for an inline unit or interceptor, including testing. We plan the visit around your service.
Where does the grease from the trap go?
We take it away. Your staff do not have to handle it after we’ve finished.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site across London and the South East, with visits on a regular schedule.
What happens to the waste?
It’s contained and taken away. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on rather than letting it spread.
Do you recommend a next date?
Yes. The recommended date is on the report. BESA’s minimum intervals for kitchen extracts range from 3-monthly for heavy use to 12-monthly for light use, while fire dampers are tested at least annually.
How much does grease trap cleaning cost?
It depends on the type and size of the trap, its condition and access. Send us details or a photo and we’ll come back with a fixed price.
Part by part
Baffles and outlets
The outlet carries the separated water on to the drain. If it’s blocked or greasy, the trap backs up.
School, care home and staff kitchens
In schools, grease traps can be cleaned when the kitchen is closed or between meal services.
What we do, step by step
The visit has three parts: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, and the sign-off is a written report with pictures. Most of the time goes on the work itself, which takes a short visit for a small trap and longer for an inline unit or interceptor. If you can send photos, we can arrive in Mid Lavant knowing what to expect.
- We start by finding the trap and checking its inlet and outlet.
- We ask for the sinks that drain into the trap not to be used.
- Built-up fat, oil and grease is removed from the trap.
- We clean the chambers, baffles and connections.
- Once it’s refitted, water is run through to check it drains, and we take the waste with us.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in

Related advice
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. 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.
Honest limits
We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- Drains that need jetting rather than trap cleaning
- Plumbing leaks around the sink
- Broken pipework below ground
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will say what we think before booking.
