What your team can do, and what needs us
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
How we handle grease trap cleaning in Murrell Green
Once a trap is full, grease passes straight through. Fat sets in the pipes downstream, leading to slow drains, blockages and smells. A trap that is cleaned regularly keeps grease where it belongs. Typical jobs include a bad smell from the sinks or drains and washing-up water that won’t drain away, on school and care home kitchens, inline grease traps and restaurants and takeaways.
In a village or hamlet like Murrell Green, commercial kitchens are few, perhaps a pub, a school or a care home. Wherever there is one, it needs its grease trap and hard-to-reach areas kept clean.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Between visits
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Use strainers in the sink plugholes
- Keep access to the trap clear
- Keep the grease trap on a regular cleaning schedule
- Mention any increase in cooking
The waste we remove leaves with us. There’s no greasy waste left on site when we’re done.
A fixed cleaning interval means the trap never gets overfull. The interval is set to suit the trap and the kitchen.
What happens on the day
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes a short visit for a small trap and longer for an inline unit or interceptor. A few photos of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Murrell Green.
- A visit is booked around your service.
- The trap is opened up and checked.

Murrell Green questions
Do you work in school kitchens around Murrell Green out of term?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. With about 3 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Murrell Green, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. You can ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with the dates the site is empty.
Will you come out to Murrell Green?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
How long does a grease trap clean take?
Typically, it takes anything from under an hour to a few hours, depending on the trap. Bigger or overdue traps need more time and we will say so when we quote.
Do you recommend a next date?
Yes. The recommended date is on the report. BESA’s minimum intervals for kitchen extracts range from 3-monthly for heavy use to 12-monthly for light use, and fire dampers need testing at least once a year.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site in our area, with visits on a regular schedule.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
We record them on the report, with a note of where it is, and we tell you what would make it reachable, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
What types of grease trap do you clean?
We clean under-sink traps, inline traps and interceptors. Tell us what you have and we will plan around it.
Why does a grease trap need regular cleaning?
An overfull trap stops separating grease. Slow drains, bad smells and blockages follow.
Part by part
Under-sink grease traps
We empty and clean under-sink traps without disrupting the rest of the kitchen, and check the lid and seals.
Grease interceptors
Bigger kitchens may have a larger grease interceptor. They hold more grease and solids, but they still need regular emptying and cleaning.
What grease trap cleaning looks like in Murrell Green
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 14 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 3 sandwich bars and takeaways across Murrell Green and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). A grease trap in kitchens like these fills steadily and needs emptying before it overflows. It’s Hart council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Murrell Green. An inspection covers the structure of the kitchen as well as the food. Keeping a record of deep cleans and grease trap visits helps at inspection time.
Hall and church kitchens, near St John the Evangelist or anywhere around Murrell Green, are used by many hands, and periodic deep cleans and grease trap visits keep them in order. If you run a kitchen in an older building near Murrell Green, such as a historic house like Stratfield Saye House (about 4.9 miles north-west), older drains make a working grease trap all the more important.

Why deal with it now?
Grease that leaves the kitchen ends up somewhere. It can build up in the drains and join fatbergs in the sewer. Keeping it in the trap, and emptying the trap, is the responsible thing to do. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
