Grease trap cleaning in Nalderswood
If the sinks drain slowly or smell, the trap is often the cause. We find the trap, empty it and clean it and run water through to check it drains. If you have a grease trap that hasn’t been emptied in a long time and foul odours from the grease trap, we can put it right.
Work in a small place like Nalderswood starts with agreeing a date and access, and the deep clean is the same as anywhere: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with pictures after every visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Nalderswood
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- Use strainers in the sink plugholes
- Scrape plates and pans into the bin before washing up
- Act on gurgling or smelly drains
- Never pour used oil down the sink
The sinks are ready to use as soon as we have finished. We run water through to check it drains before we leave.
A trap that is left too long stops catching grease. Cleaning it before it’s full keeps grease out of the drains and saves a call-out for a blocked drain.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
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 ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Why it’s worth doing now in Nalderswood
Pouring hot water or chemicals down a slow drain is a common quick fix. That only moves the grease further down the pipe to set somewhere harder to reach. Emptying and cleaning the trap deals with the source. Rural sites cannot always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before we start.

Does the report say when we need you again?

Yes, of course. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we will propose a schedule with a fixed quote.

Where does the waste go?
We take it away at the end of the visit. While we work, it’s kept contained so the area stays clean.
Do you take the waste away?
The fat, oil, grease and solids we remove go with us. It is not poured back down the drain at any point.
How often should a grease trap be cleaned?
It varies with the trap and the kitchen. If the sinks start to drain slowly between cleans, it’s too long and we’ll adjust the schedule.
How the visit works
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes anything from under an hour to a few hours, depending on the trap. Somewhere as small as Nalderswood, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- A visit is booked around your service.
- The trap is opened up and checked.
- Built-up grease and food waste are taken out.
- We clean the baffles, inlet and outlet.
- The trap is closed, tested and the next clean discussed.
