Grease trap cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Pilley Bailey
Grease trap cleaning keeps the drains running and the smells away. The fat, oil, grease and solids are taken out and the chambers and baffles cleaned and the trap checked before we leave. The work covers restaurants and takeaways, inline grease traps and kitchen waste pipes, and people most often call us about grease setting in the kitchen pipework and a routine grease trap service.
In rural areas, a kitchen may drain to a private system rather than a public sewer, so keeping fat out with a working grease trap matters even more.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

What we’re called out for in Pilley Bailey
Hot water and detergent carry grease further than you’d expect. Once it cools, it sets, often in the trap or the pipe beyond.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Gurgling from the sink waste
- A regular cleaning plan for the grease trap
- A kitchen drain that smells
- Washing-up water that won’t drain away
Where a church or community hall near Saint Nicholas Chapel, or anywhere in Pilley Bailey, has a kitchen used by volunteers, a periodic deep clean keeps it ready for the next event.

What the work involves, part by part
Restaurant and takeaway kitchens
A blocked drain in a busy kitchen can stop service. Keeping the trap clean reduces the risk.
Under-sink grease traps
Under-sink traps are compact units fitted below the kitchen sink. They fill quickly and need regular cleaning.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.
Pilley Bailey: your questions answered
Do you work at weekends in Pilley Bailey?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The work in Pilley Bailey can fit around your hours. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we’ll book within them.
Is Pilley Bailey within the area you cover?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Pilley Bailey included. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
What about areas you cannot get to?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
What do you do with what you remove?
It leaves the site with us when we go. During the work, it’s contained to keep the area clean.
Do you take the waste away?
The waste leaves with us. You are not left with anything to dispose of after the visit.
Do you deal with blocked drains beyond the grease trap?
It depends where the blockage is. A full trap is a common cause, and cleaning it can help but grease set further down the drains needs jetting by a drainage specialist.
What does TR19 mean?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked and expects a risk-based approach.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Photos often do the job, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
The process
There are three stages on the day: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, and the sign-off is a written report with photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, and that takes an hour or so for an under-sink trap, longer for a larger unit. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Pilley Bailey run smoothly.
- A visit is booked around your service.
- The trap is opened up and checked.
- We remove the grease layer and settled solids.
- The inside, baffles and outlet are cleaned.
- We close it up, check it drains and suggest when it needs cleaning again.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Move anything stored near the system
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
How to get a quote
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, and then give you a fixed quote. To get going, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos.

Looking after it afterwards
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Fit sink strainers to catch food scraps
- Hot water only moves grease further down
- Let us know if the kitchen gets busier
- Collect waste cooking oil separately
Between cleans, keep food scraps out of the sink. Sink strainers help catch solids so less solid waste gets through.
A trap that is left too long stops catching grease. Cleaning it before it’s full keeps grease out of the drains and saves a call-out for a blocked drain.
