About our grease trap cleaning in New Haw
Every trap is different. Under-sink units are small and fill quickly and larger traps hold more grease before they fill. We look at the trap, how much the kitchen uses it and how quickly it fills and suggest an interval that suits. We are often asked to deal with a slow-draining kitchen sink and a regular cleaning plan for the grease trap, on inline grease traps, kitchen waste pipes and school and care home kitchens.
In a smaller place like New Haw, commercial kitchens are more likely to be a pub, a café, a takeaway or a school or care home kitchen. Smaller kitchens still collect grease behind equipment and in the drains.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

Aftercare tips
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Don’t rely on hot water to clear grease
- Act on gurgling or smelly drains
- Wipe grease off pans before washing them
- Mention any increase in cooking
You’ll get our view on how often the trap needs cleaning. That depends on how quickly it filled and how much the kitchen cooks.
A trap that’s left too long stops catching grease. Regular emptying keeps it working and saves a call-out for a blocked drain.
What the work involves, part by part
Baffles and outlets
Clean water leaves through the outlet. A blocked outlet stops the trap working.
Under-sink grease traps
We empty and clean under-sink traps without disrupting the rest of the kitchen, and check the lid and seals.

FAQs for New Haw
Which council inspects kitchens in New Haw?
In New Haw, it’s Runnymede council that carries out food hygiene inspections. An officer may look behind equipment and at drains, so it pays to have the deep clean booked before those areas build up.
Do you work in villages like New Haw?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
How long does a grease trap clean take?
A typical clean takes anything from under an hour to a few hours, depending on the trap, including testing. We plan the visit around your service.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before we start, and anything we remove is contained. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
Will you tell us when the next visit is due?
Yes. The recommended date is on the report. For kitchen extracts, BESA’s minimum intervals run from every 3 months for heavy use to every 12 months for light use, while fire dampers are tested at least annually.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and we’ll quote them together.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we have been trading since 2009.
Will the grease trap clean disrupt the kitchen?
Just the sinks that drain into the trap, and only while we work. We plan the visit for a quieter time wherever possible.
How it works
Night work is normal for us. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. On site, the work takes anything from under an hour to a few hours, depending on the trap. We plan the journey to New Haw and bring what the job is likely to need.
- We locate the trap and check how it’s fitted.
- Sinks feeding the trap are taken out of use.
- We empty out the fat, oil, grease and solids.
- We clean every part of the inside.
- The trap is refitted, tested with water and the waste taken away.
How to prepare
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
How to get a quote

Fat from washing up sets hard in pipes, and kitchens like these produce plenty of it. In New Haw, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Runnymede council.

Every pan and plate washed sends grease towards the drain. In the trap, they cool and separate, and the layer gets thicker day by day.
These are the problems we see most often:
- An under-sink trap that keeps filling up
- Sinks that drain slowly
- An overdue grease trap
- Grease setting in the kitchen pipework
If you run a café or takeaway near Byfleet & New Haw station, a deep clean overnight means the kitchen opens as normal next morning.

Leave it or put it right?
Grease that gets past the trap doesn’t disappear. It can build up in the drains and join fatbergs in the sewer. A well-maintained trap keeps it where it can be removed. A planned visit to New Haw fits your hours; an emergency does not.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you are unsure, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
