Grease trap cleaning in Mullenspond, done properly
Once a trap is full, grease passes straight through. Fat sets in the pipes downstream and the result is blocked drains and bad smells. A trap that’s cleaned regularly keeps grease where it belongs. If you’re dealing with scheduled grease trap emptying and a bad smell from the sinks or drains, we can put it right.
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.
We’ve been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

Grease interceptors
Grease interceptors are larger units that serve busier kitchens. They hold more grease and solids, but they still need regular emptying and cleaning.
FAQs for Mullenspond
Do you work in villages like Mullenspond?
Yes, Mullenspond is part of our area, however small the site. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Can you come to Mullenspond after we close?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The work in Mullenspond can fit around your hours. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we will book within them.
Can you give me a price for grease trap cleaning?
Trap size, type, condition and access all affect the price. Tell us about the trap and we will come back with a fixed price.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, to suit the system and how it’s used.
How much notice should we give?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
Will cleaning the grease trap fix a blocked drain?
That depends on the cause. If the trap is full, cleaning it often helps but grease set further down the drains needs jetting by a drainage specialist.

Why deal with it now?
Grease that leaves the kitchen ends up somewhere. It adds to blockages further down the drains and sewer. A well-maintained trap keeps it where it can be removed. It’s simpler to plan the work at Mullenspond now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.

How it works
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool first, and the area around the work is covered and protected. The work itself takes an hour or two in most kitchens, depending on the size and condition of the trap. For a village or hamlet like Mullenspond, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- We agree a time when the sinks aren’t needed.
- The trap is opened up and checked.
- We remove the grease layer and settled solids.
- We clean the baffles, inlet and outlet.
- We close it up, check it drains and suggest when it needs cleaning again.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
Getting a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
Advice
How we price grease trap cleaning
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- How easy every part is to reach
- The scale of the work
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Any permits to work or inductions
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.
Helping us quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- The postcode and the type of business
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Call or email with a few details and you will typically have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Mullenspond
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We’re happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
Aftercare tips
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Make sure the trap can be reached easily
- Wipe grease off pans before washing them
- Hot water only moves grease further down
- Mention any increase in cooking
Collect waste cooking oil separately rather than pouring it down the sink and the trap won’t fill as quickly. It’s the single easiest way to help.
A fixed cleaning interval means the trap never gets overfull. The interval is set to suit the trap and the kitchen.
