How we handle grease trap cleaning in Pamber Heath
A grease trap catches fats, oils and grease from the kitchen sinks before they reach the drain. As the waste water cools, the grease floats and stays in the trap, and clean water flows on. Eventually it fills and needs emptying and cleaning. Common call-outs are for foul odours from the grease trap and a routine grease trap service, on kitchen waste pipes, pot wash sinks and restaurants and takeaways.
Somewhere as small as Pamber Heath, the kitchens that need a deep clean are normally a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still needs the occasional deep clean and its grease trap kept clear.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That’s why every job is written up in a report with photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

What we do, step by step
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 work takes anything from under an hour to a few hours, depending on the trap. Visits to a village like Pamber Heath are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- We agree a time when the sinks are not needed.
- We open the trap and look at its condition.
- We remove the grease layer and settled solids.
- The inside, baffles and outlet are cleaned.
- The trap is closed, tested and the next clean discussed.

Advice
Why act early in Pamber Heath
A full grease trap lets grease through to the drains. It hardens on the pipe walls, until the drain blocks. Regular trap cleaning beats dealing with a blockage. Somewhere as small as Pamber Heath, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before work begins.

Do you recommend a next date?

What does TR19 mean?

We record them on the report, with photos where possible, and we tell you what would make it reachable, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a small pub to a hospital. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
Are you accredited?

Aftercare tips
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Do not rely on hot water to clear grease
- Never pour used oil down the sink
- Tell us when sinks start draining slowly
- Get food waste into the bin, not the sink
The waste we remove leaves with us. Nothing is left for you to dispose of when we’re done.
If the sinks are slow or smelly, the trap may be full. Getting it cleaned now can stop a full blockage down the line.

- Drains clogged with fat
- A larger grease trap that needs emptying
- Washing-up water that won’t drain away
- Drains that gurgle and bubble
