Mortimer West End grease trap cleaning
Looking for grease trap cleaning in Mortimer West End? We diagnose first, fix the price and book the work around your hours, then sign off with a report and pictures.
- An inline trap or interceptor due for cleaning
- Foul odours from the grease trap
- Gurgling from the sink waste
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. The middle part takes longest, which takes less than an hour for many under-sink units. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Mortimer West End.
- A visit is booked around your service.
- The trap is opened up and checked.
- Built-up grease and food waste are taken out.
- The inside, baffles and outlet are cleaned.
- The trap is closed, tested and the next clean discussed.
Before we arrive
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet

Advice
How we handle grease trap cleaning in Mortimer West End
A grease trap is the kitchen drain’s first line of protection. When it’s looked after, you hardly know it’s there, but neglected, it causes blockages and smells. A regular clean keeps it healthy. If you have gurgling drains in the kitchen and grease setting in the kitchen pipework, we can put it right.
Somewhere as small as Mortimer West End, the kitchens that need a deep clean are usually a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Wherever there is one, it needs its grease trap and hard-to-reach areas kept clean.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

What else we do in Mortimer West End
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
FAQs for Mortimer West End
Do you work in school kitchens around Mortimer West End out of term?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. Food Standards Agency records list about 2 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Mortimer West End. Send us your term dates when you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we will fit the work in.
Will you come out to Mortimer West End?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Mortimer West End included. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
What does TR19 mean?
A BESA specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, 24/7. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, and the emergency line covers the rest.
Do we need to stop using the sinks while you work?
Just the sinks that drain into the trap, and only while we work. Visits are booked outside your busiest hours wherever possible.
What do you do to protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. We keep the work contained and clean down when we finish.
Which accreditations do you hold?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We’ve been trading since 2009 and we are fully insured.
How much time does a grease trap clean need?
Most grease trap cleans take an hour or two in most kitchens, depending on the size and condition of the trap including checking it drains. It’s booked when the sinks aren’t needed.
What grease trap cleaning can’t fix
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what grease trap cleaning won’t do:
- A trap undersized for the amount of cooking
- Collapsed or damaged drains, which need a drainage contractor
- Grease deep in the drains, which needs jetting by a drainage contractor
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Grease trap cleaning in Mortimer West End: local notes
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 5 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens in and around Mortimer West End, up to about a mile and a half out. Kitchens like these wash fat, oil and grease down the sink every day, and a grease trap is what stops it reaching the sewer. We cover Mortimer West End, about 44 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours. Environmental health officers from Basingstoke and Deane council inspect food businesses in Mortimer West End. The state of floors, drains and hard-to-reach corners all feeds into the inspection. Photos and dates from each deep clean make a useful record.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near The Parish Church of St.Saviours or elsewhere in Mortimer West End, a deep clean and an emptied grease trap before a busy season of events are worth booking. School kitchens, at schools like Silchester Church of England Primary School for example, typically have their deep cleans and grease trap work done while the canteen is closed. If you cater for weddings or events at a historic house in the area (Stratfield Saye House is about 4.3 miles east), deep cleans can be fitted between bookings.
