About our grease trap cleaning in Milstead
Kitchens in Milstead use us for grease trap cleaning, from small under-sink units to inline traps and interceptors. Visits are booked around your service so washing up is not interrupted. The work covers pot wash sinks, restaurants and takeaways and under-sink grease traps, and people most often call us about foul odours from the grease trap and an inline trap or interceptor due for cleaning.
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.
A written report with pictures follows every visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

How we price grease trap cleaning
You’ll get a fixed price before we start. It takes into account:
- The number of sites or systems
- What state the system is in
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you are not sure what’s needed, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
Asking for a quote
We can often survey from photos. Try to include:
- A few general shots of the system
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, photos of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
The process
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 an hour or two in most kitchens, depending on the size and condition of the trap. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Milstead.
- First, we locate the grease trap and look at the pipework around it.
- Nothing drains into the trap while it’s open.
- The trap is emptied of grease and food waste.
- Every part of the trap is scraped and cleaned, including the baffles.
- Once it’s refitted, water is run through to check it drains, and we take the waste with us.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Let us know about parking and loading

Related advice
Milstead: your questions answered
Can you come to Milstead after we close?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Milstead needn’t be disturbed. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Do you work in villages like Milstead?
Yes. Milstead is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
How much notice do you need?
Earlier is better, especially for out-of-hours work. We normally quote within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
Can you clear our blocked drains as well?
That depends on the cause. A full trap is a common cause, and cleaning it can help, but blockages further along need a drainage contractor.
Will I get paperwork for my records?
Yes, always. The report is dated and includes pictures, plus a certificate via the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal for TR19® Grease cleans. File it with your fire safety records.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, always. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it, and the quote is based on that.
What do you do with what you remove?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. We don’t leave it behind.
How often should a grease trap be cleaned?
That depends on the trap and the kitchen. A small trap fills more quickly than a large one, and busy kitchens fill them faster still. We’ll suggest an interval after the first clean.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Milstead
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
Part by part
Baffles and outlets
The baffles hold back grease while water flows on. Grease clings to them, so we clean them.
Under-sink grease traps
Under-sink units are easy to forget. A full one shows itself with a slow, smelly sink.
