Grease trap cleaning in Mundon
Kitchens in Mundon use us for grease trap cleaning, from small under-sink units to inline traps and interceptors. We come when the sinks are not needed, so the kitchen keeps running. The work covers restaurants and takeaways, inline grease traps and kitchen waste pipes, and common reasons people get in touch are sinks that drain slowly and gurgling drains in the kitchen.
Work in a small place like Mundon starts with agreeing a date and access, and the deep clean is the same as anywhere: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment.
We’ve been trading since 2009, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we are fully insured.

How the job changes from site to site
Under-sink grease traps
Under-sink traps are compact units fitted below the kitchen sink. Their small size means they fill fast, so they need frequent emptying.
School, care home and staff kitchens
Kitchens that serve set mealtimes fill their traps more steadily. Planned cleaning fits their routine.
The process
Everything the job needs comes with us, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. The visit takes anything from under an hour to a few hours, depending on the trap. In a small place like Mundon, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- We find the trap and check how it’s connected.
- The sinks feeding the trap are kept out of use while we work.
- Built-up fat, oil and grease is removed from the trap.
- We clean the chambers, baffles and connections.
- The trap is reassembled, checked for leaks and the waste taken away.
How to prepare
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Have your last certificate or report to hand

Related advice
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
For landlords and multi-site operators
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Why it’s worth doing now in Mundon
A full grease trap lets grease through to the drains. It hardens on the pipe walls until water can’t get through. Regular trap cleaning beats dealing with a blockage. It’s simpler to plan the work at Mundon now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why we survey first, from photos or on site, and the price is agreed before any work starts.

Keeping the system healthy
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Act on gurgling or smelly drains
- Fit sink strainers to catch food scraps
- Do not rely on hot water to clear grease
- Wipe grease off pans before washing them
If we spot problems beyond the trap, such as a drain that still runs slowly, we will tell you. It may need a drainage specialist to look further.
Fat that escapes the trap hardens in the pipework. Once it’s there, it needs a drainage contractor to clear, so it’s far better to keep the trap clean.

Mundon questions
Can you get to a site in Mundon?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Mundon included. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Can you work in Mundon outside opening hours?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. It means the site in Mundon keeps running as normal. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. The law sets the duty; TR19® is the benchmark used to show it’s met. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and many insurers can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of cleaning.
Are you accredited?
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.
What is TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping, and it takes a risk-based approach.
Why does a grease trap need regular cleaning?
Once it’s full, grease passes straight through. It then sets in the drains, causing blockages and smells, and can add to fatbergs in the sewer.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and we will quote them together.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
We never leave them off the paperwork. You will know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
Grease trap cleaning around Mundon
