Grease trap cleaning in Oxted
Kitchens in Oxted 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 people most often call us about a small trap that fills too quickly and sinks that drain slowly.
Kitchens around a smaller place like Oxted are often in older buildings, with drains and grease traps that have been there for years. A blocked drain or a smelly grease trap is normally the first sign.
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
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Keep waste oil out of the drains
- Report slow or smelly sinks early
- Book trap cleans at a set interval
- Get food waste into the bin, not the sink
Scrape plates into the bin before washing up. Sink strainers help catch solids before they reach the trap.
More cooking means more grease in the trap. Shortening the cleaning interval now stops it overflowing.
What staff can safely do
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.

Where they run a kitchen, it needs the same deep cleaning and grease trap care as any restaurant. In Oxted, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Tandridge council. Walls, floors, ceilings and equipment are all part of what they look at. Keeping a record of deep cleans and grease trap visits helps at inspection time.
