Grease trap cleaning in Monkey Street, done properly
Every trap is different. Under-sink traps are compact and need frequent attention and larger traps hold more grease before they fill. We look at the trap, how much the kitchen uses it and how quickly it fills and suggest an interval that suits. The work covers restaurants and takeaways, school and care home kitchens and inline grease traps, and the jobs we see most are a small trap that fills too quickly and drains clogged with fat.
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.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

Looking after it afterwards
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Make sure the trap can be reached easily
- Keep the grease trap on a regular cleaning schedule
- Collect waste cooking oil separately
- Report slow or smelly sinks early
You’ll get our view on how often the trap needs cleaning. It’s based on how full it was and how busy the kitchen is.
Slow sinks and a bad smell are early warnings. Acting at this stage typically prevents a blockage down the line.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers

How the visit works
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and it goes on the report too. The visit takes an hour or so for an under-sink trap, longer for a larger unit. Somewhere like Monkey Street, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- 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.
- The inside, baffles and pipe connections are cleaned.
- The trap is reassembled, checked for leaks and the waste taken away.
How to prepare
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas

Under-sink grease traps
Small grease traps sit under the sink. Their small size means they fill fast and need regular cleaning.
Monkey Street: your questions answered
Do you work overnight in Monkey Street?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The work in Monkey Street can fit around your hours. When you ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, mention when the site is quiet.
Can you get to a site in Monkey Street?
Yes, Monkey Street is part of our area, however small the site. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Are you accredited?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We are fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, as well as food production and leisure sites.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, from your photos and details, or with a visit where necessary. A fixed quote follows.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, and the emergency line covers the rest.
How much notice should we give?
Book as early as you can for planned work, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
Which grease traps does the service cover?
Under-sink and inline grease traps, and larger interceptors. Each one is emptied, cleaned and checked in the same careful way.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
When it’s something else
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so here are the limits:
- Drains that are cracked or have collapsed
- Drains that need jetting rather than trap cleaning
- Leaking pipework or sink wastes, which need a plumber
If you’re not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will give you a straight answer.
Where we work
- School and care home kitchens
- Under-sink grease traps

Leave it or put it right?
A dirty grease trap smells. Rotting food and grease give off foul odours that can reach the kitchen and beyond. A clean trap takes the source away. Rural sites can’t always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re unsure, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
