Your questions about grease trap cleaning in Normandy
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Normandy?
In Normandy, it’s Guildford council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Inspection results feed into the food hygiene rating published by the Food Standards Agency.
Do you work overnight in Normandy?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The site is handed back ready to open. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we’ll book within them.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, fully. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it, for sites that check contractor safety.
Do you take the waste away?
We remove all the waste we take out. It is not poured back down the drain, of course.
What do you do with what you remove?
It leaves the site with us at the end of the visit. During the work, it’s contained to keep the area clean.
How long will the sinks be out of use?
Each trap is a little different, and you can expect it to take a short visit for a small trap and longer for an inline unit or interceptor. You’ll know before the visit.
Do you work in Normandy?
Yes. We work in Normandy and across Surrey, within our South East and London area. To book, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
Will you tell us when the next visit is due?
Yes. The interval depends on how much the system is used and what we find and the report sets out why.
Grease trap cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Normandy
Fats, oils and grease are the main cause of blocked kitchen drains. Down the line, they can add to fatbergs in the sewer. A grease trap that is emptied and cleaned regularly keeps them out of the drains. Common call-outs are for an under-sink unit that needs regular emptying and an interceptor full of grease and solids, on pot wash sinks, kitchen waste pipes and restaurants and takeaways.
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.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Fixed quotes for grease trap cleaning in Normandy
The price is fixed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- How big the system is
- Parking and loading at the site
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
Helping us quote
You do not need the technical terms. Just send:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- The postcode and the type of business
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few pictures and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Normandy
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.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Why act early in Normandy
Grease that gets past the trap doesn’t disappear. 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. A planned visit to Normandy is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
What you pay depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.
What you get with us
- We’re fully insured
- Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus 24/7 emergency callout
- Accredited under CHAS and SafeContractor, with ISO 9001
- Every visit written up, with photos

Aftercare tips
So the system stays in good health:
- Use strainers in the sink plugholes
- Do not store things on top of the trap
- Act on gurgling or smelly drains
- Book trap cleans at a set interval
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 investigate.
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.
How the visit works
Protection comes first: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. It takes an hour or so for an under-sink trap, longer for a larger unit, and we clear up before we go. Somewhere like Normandy, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- First, we find the trap and look at its connections.
- Sinks feeding the trap are taken out of use.
- Grease and solids are removed from the trap.
- We clean every part of the inside.
- The trap is refitted, tested with water and the waste taken away.
Before we arrive
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas

Different parts, different methods
School, care home and staff kitchens
School kitchens can be cleaned in the holidays or between meal services.
Under-sink grease traps
Small grease traps sit under the sink. Their small size means they fill fast, so they need frequent emptying.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Grease trap cleaning in Normandy: local notes
Normandy is about 30 miles from central London, well within the area we cover across London and the South East. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours. In Normandy, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Guildford council. Grease behind equipment or on a ceiling is the kind of thing an inspection can note. A record of each deep clean helps show the kitchen is kept in order.
Hall and church kitchens, near Church of St Mark or anywhere around Normandy, are used by many hands, and periodic deep cleans and grease trap visits keep them in order. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Guildford Hospital about 2.6 miles east, deep cleans and grease trap visits are planned so meals still go out. If you serve passing trade near Wanborough station, a grease trap on a regular schedule keeps the drains running through busy weeks.
