How we handle grease trap cleaning in Molesey
Fats, oils and grease are the main cause of blocked kitchen drains. Further on, grease can build into fatbergs in the sewer. A well-maintained trap holds them back. If you have a slow-draining kitchen sink and foul odours from the grease trap, we can put it right, from under-sink grease traps, kitchen waste pipes and school and care home kitchens onwards.
In a place like Molesey, kitchens often sit in older buildings with older drains. Smells and slow drains are the usual warning signs.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with pictures after every visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Common problems we fix in Molesey
A full trap cannot hold any more grease. It goes on into the drain and the sewer beyond, where it can form blockages.
Most sites get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Foul odours from the grease trap
- Sinks that drain slowly
- An under-sink trap that keeps filling up
- A regular cleaning plan for the grease trap
School kitchens, at schools like The Orchard Infant School for example, typically have their deep cleans and grease trap work done while the canteen is closed.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether they recommend a next date
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Molesey and across Surrey. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
How the visit works
The visit has three parts: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, and the sign-off is a written report with photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, which takes anything from under an hour to a few hours, depending on the trap. Because the survey comes first, a visit to Molesey can normally be finished without a second trip.
- First, we find the trap and look at its connections.
- We make sure nothing drains into the trap.
- We empty out the fat, oil, grease and solids.
- The chambers and baffles are cleaned.
- We refit it, run water through and remove the waste.
Getting ready for the visit
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
Getting a quote
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you’ll usually have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.

Molesey: your questions answered
Do you work in school kitchens around Molesey out of term?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. The FSA’s register shows about 13 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Molesey. Send us your term dates when you ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and we will fit the work in.
Which council inspects kitchens in Molesey?
In Molesey, it’s Elmbridge council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Photos from a deep clean are a simple record of what was done and when.
Can you clear our blocked drains as well?
Cleaning the trap deals with the grease it holds and that may solve a slow drain caused by the trap. A blockage deeper in the drains needs a drainage specialist.
How much does grease trap cleaning cost?
It depends on the type and size of the trap, its condition and access. Tell us about the trap and we’ll give you a fixed quote.
What accreditations do you have?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. One number covers all your sites across London and the South East, with visits on a regular schedule.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for anything that cannot wait until a planned visit. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
Where does the grease from the trap go?
It’s removed from site when we leave. Your staff don’t have to handle it after we have finished.
What grease trap cleaning can’t fix
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- A unit that can’t cope with the kitchen’s output

If you’re not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What affects the quote in Molesey
Every site gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- How big the system is
- Whether several sites go on one quote
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.
What we need to know
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- The site address and the type of premises
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.
Between visits
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- Fit sink strainers to catch food scraps
- Tell us if your menu or hours change
- Do not wait for a blockage to book a clean
- Keep access to the trap clear
Collect waste cooking oil separately rather than pouring it down the sink, and the trap will stay cleaner for longer. It’s the single easiest way to help.
If the kitchen has got busier, the trap fills faster. Booking cleans more often keeps the drains flowing.
How the job changes from site to site
Restaurant and takeaway kitchens
Busy kitchens can’t afford a blocked drain. Regular trap cleaning helps prevent it.
Baffles and outlets
Clean water leaves through the outlet. If it’s blocked or greasy, the trap backs up.
