Grease trap cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Pitland Street
Think of the grease trap as a filter for the kitchen’s drains. When it’s looked after, you hardly know it’s there but left too long, it causes trouble. Routine cleaning keeps it in good working order. The work covers school and care home kitchens, under-sink grease traps and pot wash sinks, and the jobs we see most are a regular cleaning plan for the grease trap and a grease trap that hasn’t been emptied in a long time.
Somewhere as small as Pitland Street, the kitchens that need a deep clean are typically a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Wherever there is one, it needs its grease trap and hard-to-reach areas kept clean.
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.

Different parts, different methods
Inline grease traps
Access to an inline trap can be in a floor or cupboard. We ask about access when we quote.
Grease interceptors
Grease interceptors are larger units that serve busier kitchens. They hold more grease and solids, but they still need regular emptying and cleaning.

Pitland Street: your questions answered
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Pitland Street?
In Pitland Street, it’s Guildford council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Keep the dates of your last deep clean and grease trap visit with your food safety records, ready if an officer asks.
Do you cover smaller places like Pitland Street?
Yes. Pitland Street is within the area we cover across London and the South East. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, we’re fully insured. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it for clients who vet their contractors.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
We never leave them off the paperwork. You’ll know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
How much notice do you need?
Book as early as you can for planned work, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
What problems does a full grease trap cause?
Grease escapes into the drains when the trap is full. It sets there and narrows the pipes and causes blockages. Regular cleaning prevents it.
Will you tell us when the next visit is due?
Yes. The report recommends when the next visit should be, based on what we found and how the system is used.
What accreditations do you have?
We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.

What else we do in Pitland Street
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
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, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Why it’s worth doing now in Pitland Street
Pests are drawn to grease and food waste. A clean trap is less of an attraction, alongside good kitchen hygiene. If the system at a site near Pitland Street fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
What you pay depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.
Why book with us
- In business since 2009
- A written report with photos after every visit
- A single point of contact for sites across the South East and London
- Survey first, then a fixed quote

What affects the quote in Pitland Street
There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- The number of sites or systems
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- The times the site is available
- How big the system is
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.
What to send for a quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Any previous report or certificate
- The postcode and the type of business
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
What a clean will not put right
Grease trap cleaning cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not put right:
- Plumbing leaks around the sink
- Blockages in the public sewer beyond the property
- Collapsed or damaged drains, which need a drainage contractor
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will give you a straight answer.
