What your team can do, and what needs us
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Grease trap cleaning in Peaslake
A clean trap means flowing drains and no foul smells. We empty the built-up grease and food solids, clean the inside and the baffles and the trap checked before we leave. Common call-outs are for a slow-draining kitchen sink and an overdue grease trap, across inline grease traps, kitchen waste pipes and under-sink grease traps.
In a village or hamlet like Peaslake, commercial kitchens are few, perhaps a pub, a school or a care home. Each still needs the occasional deep clean and its grease trap kept clear.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with photos, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Looking after it afterwards
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Get food waste into the bin, not the sink
- Hot water only moves grease further down
- Tell us when sinks start draining slowly
- Let us know if the kitchen gets busier
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 look further.
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.
When to call us in Peaslake
Food waste slips past sink strainers or gets rinsed down. It settles in the trap as solids and fill it from below.
The symptoms we are asked about most include:
- A blocked kitchen drain caused by grease
- A small trap that fills too quickly
- Washing-up water that won’t drain away
- An overdue grease trap
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like St. Luke’s Hospital about 5.8 miles north-west, deep cleans and grease trap visits are planned so meals still go out.

How we price grease trap cleaning
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The scale of the work
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you’ll get one fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:
- A few general shots of the system
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.
What the work involves, part by part
Under-sink grease traps
An under-sink trap is out of sight. A full one shows itself with a slow, smelly sink.
Baffles and outlets
The outlet carries the separated water on to the drain. A blocked outlet stops the trap working.

Not normally. Visits are timed for when the area is closed, such as overnight or at a weekend, so the site can carry on as normal.

What we do, step by step
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and the same goes into the written report. All told, the work takes anything from under an hour to a few hours, depending on the trap. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Peaslake and turn up when the site is quiet.
- We find the trap and check how it’s connected.
- The sinks feeding the trap are kept out of use while we work.
- We take out the layer of fat, oil and grease and any solids.
- We clean the chambers, baffles and connections.
- Once it’s refitted, water is run through to check it drains, and we take the waste with us.
Preparing for the visit
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
