Grease trap cleaning in Pachesham Park: local notes
Food Standards Agency data counts about 33 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 12 takeaways in Pachesham Park and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Wherever they wash pans and plates, fat heads for the drain unless a trap catches it. Kitchens in Pachesham Park get their food hygiene inspections from Elmbridge council. An inspection covers the structure of the kitchen as well as the food. A record of each deep clean helps show the kitchen is kept in order.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Epsom Cottage Hospital (about 2.2 miles north-east), cook for long hours, so deep cleans and grease trap work are planned around patients’ meals. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Therfield School or anywhere near Pachesham Park, the holidays are the time for a deep clean or a grease trap clean.

Grease trap cleaning in Pachesham Park, done properly
A grease trap catches fats, oils and grease from the kitchen sinks before they reach the drain. Cooling water lets the grease rise and separate, and clean water flows on. Over time, the trap fills up and needs emptying and cleaning. If you have washing-up water that won’t drain away and drains clogged with fat, we can help.
Work in a small place like Pachesham Park starts with agreeing a date and access, and the deep clean is the same as anywhere: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with pictures of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

The process
Your staff don’t need to do much on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. A few pictures of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Pachesham Park.
- We locate the trap and check how it’s fitted.
- We make sure nothing drains into the trap.
- Grease and solids are removed from the trap.
- The chambers and baffles are cleaned.
- The trap is refitted, tested with water and the waste taken away.
How to prepare
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system

Advice
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
Part by part
Under-sink grease traps
Under-sink traps are cleaned in a short visit and check the seal on the lid.
Baffles and outlets
The baffles hold back grease while water flows on. They gather grease and debris, so we clean them.
Why deal with it now?
Grease that gets past the trap does not 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 fault that closes a site in a village like Pachesham Park affects everyone who depends on it.
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.

When something else is needed
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what grease trap cleaning will not do:
- Plumbing leaks around the sink
- Grease deep in the drains, which needs jetting by a drainage contractor
- Drains that are cracked or have collapsed
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.
Where we work
- Under-sink grease traps
- Restaurants and takeaways
- Kitchen waste pipes
- School and care home kitchens
- Inline grease traps
- Pot wash sinks
Common problems we fix in Pachesham Park
Fats, oils and grease from cooking and washing up go down the sink. They cool and float to the top of the trap, and the layer gets thicker day by day.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- A slow-draining kitchen sink
- Gurgling from the sink waste
- A full, neglected grease trap
- A routine grease trap service
If you run a kitchen in an older building near Pachesham Park, such as a historic house like The Homewood (about 3 miles north-west), older drains make a working grease trap all the more important.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- Whether the price is fixed
- Whether they’re fully insured
- What hours they’ll be on site
Common questions in Pachesham Park
Can the work in Pachesham Park be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The work in Pachesham Park can fit around your hours. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Pachesham Park?
In Pachesham Park, it’s Elmbridge council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Photos from a deep clean are a simple record of what was done and when.
How much does grease trap cleaning cost?
The price depends on the trap and the schedule. Get in touch and we will give you a fixed quote so you know the cost up front.
Will cleaning the grease trap fix a blocked drain?
Our service covers the grease trap itself. Where the problem is further down the drain, we will say so so you can call a drainage contractor.
What do you do with the waste?
It’s removed from site when we leave. Your staff do not have to handle it after we have finished.
Do you clean under-sink and inline grease traps?
Both under-sink and inline traps, plus interceptors. If you are not sure what you have, send us a photo when you call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Do you cover Pachesham Park?
Yes. We work across Greater London, Surrey, Kent, Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Essex, and that includes Pachesham Park.
How regularly does a grease trap need emptying?
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.
Between visits
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Don’t store things on top of the trap
- Act on gurgling or smelly drains
- Keep strainers in every sink
- Avoid pouring boiling water down to shift grease
We will suggest when the trap should be cleaned again. It’s based on how full it was and how busy the kitchen is.
Slow sinks and a bad smell are early warnings. Acting at this stage typically prevents a blockage later.
