How we handle grease trap cleaning in Pitch Green

For kitchens across Pitch Green, grease trap cleaning fits easily around service. The trap is emptied, cleaned and checked and remove the waste. It can be booked on its own or alongside other kitchen work. If you have drains clogged with fat and a routine grease trap service, we can help.

Rural kitchens may drain to a septic tank or a private drain rather than straight into a public sewer, and fat getting past a grease trap can cause real trouble there.

We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

When it’s something else

We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so here are the limits:

  • Blockages further down the drainage network
  • Broken pipework below ground
  • Grease deep in the drains, which needs jetting by a drainage contractor

If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Parts of the system we cover

  • Under-sink grease traps

  • School and care home kitchens
  • Kitchen waste pipes

Why it’s worth doing now in Pitch Green

Pests are drawn to grease and food waste. Keeping the trap clean removes something they’re looking for, alongside good kitchen hygiene. A fault that closes a site in a village like Pitch Green affects everyone who depends on it.

Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.

Signs you need grease trap cleaning in Pitch Green

Every pan and plate washed sends grease towards the drain. They cool and float to the top of the trap, and the layer gets thicker day by day.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • A larger grease trap that needs emptying
  • An overdue grease trap
  • Scheduled grease trap emptying
  • A small trap that fills too quickly

A summer deep clean suits schools such as Princes Risborough School, as the kitchen can be stripped back with no lunches to serve.

Questions to ask before booking

Different parts, different methods

School, care home and staff kitchens

Drains in care settings need to keep flowing. We fit visits around mealtimes.

Restaurant and takeaway kitchens

A blocked drain in a busy kitchen can stop service. Keeping the trap clean reduces the risk.

What affects the cost of grease trap cleaning

Every site gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
  • The scale of the work
  • Parking and loading at the site
  • One-off work versus a regular cycle

Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before any work starts.

Helping us quote

To help us quote quickly, send us:

  • Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
  • Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
  • Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
  • Any access panels or hatches you can see

For grease trap cleaning in Pitch Green, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us. Tell us what kind of premises it is and when it’s open, and send photos or your last report if you can. We usually send a fixed quote within one working day.

What happens on the day

There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, while signing off means the written report and pictures. Most of the time goes on the work itself, which takes a short visit for a small trap and longer for an inline unit or interceptor. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Pitch Green and turn up when the site is quiet.

  1. We locate the trap and check how it’s fitted.
  2. We make sure nothing drains into the trap.
  3. We empty out the fat, oil, grease and solids.
  4. The chambers and baffles are cleaned.
  5. We refit it, run water through and remove the waste.

Before we arrive

  • Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
  • Move anything stored near the system
  • Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas

Getting a quote

We don’t publish a price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, and then send you a fixed quote. To get going, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.

Questions from Pitch Green

Do you work at weekends in Pitch Green?

Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. It means the site in Pitch Green keeps running as normal. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with your opening times and we will plan around them.

Will you come out to Pitch Green?

Yes. Pitch Green is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.

Can you clear our blocked drains as well?

A trap clean removes the grease in the trap, and can clear the problem where the trap was the cause. Blockages further down the drain, or damaged pipework, need a drainage contractor.

What does TR19 mean?

TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.

What’s the right interval for grease trap cleaning?

It varies. We look at how full the trap is and how quickly it fills, then suggest a schedule.

Can you set up regular visits?

Yes, of course. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we will suggest a schedule and quote for it.

Is there a survey before the work?

Yes, always. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.

What if parts of the system cannot be reached?

We never leave them off the paperwork. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.

For landlords and multi-site operators

Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.

From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with photos.
