Grease trap cleaning in Poffley End, done properly
Think of the grease trap as a filter for the kitchen’s drains. Kept clean, it does its job quietly, but neglected, it causes blockages and smells. A regular clean keeps it healthy. If you have grease setting in the kitchen pipework and an under-sink unit that needs regular emptying, we can help, from inline grease traps, pot wash sinks and restaurants and takeaways onwards.
Somewhere as small as Poffley End, the kitchens that need a deep clean are normally 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.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

How the visit works
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes an hour or so for an under-sink trap, longer for a larger unit, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. For a village or hamlet like Poffley End, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- We locate the trap and check how it’s fitted.
- Sinks feeding the trap are taken out of use.
- We empty out the fat, oil, grease and solids.
- The chambers and baffles are cleaned.
- We refit it, run water through and remove the waste.
Before we arrive
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids

Honest limits
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- Leaking pipework or sink wastes, which need a plumber
- Broken pipework below ground
- Grease deep in the drains, which needs jetting by a drainage contractor
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will say what we think before you book.

Questions from Poffley End
Do you work in villages like Poffley End?
Yes. Poffley End is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Do you work at weekends in Poffley End?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The work in Poffley End can fit around your hours. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
What problems does a full grease trap cause?
A full trap cannot catch any more grease. It then sets in the drains, causing blockages and smells, and can add to fatbergs in the sewer.
Do you provide a certificate or report?
Yes, always. It’s a dated, written report with pictures, plus a certificate via the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal for TR19® Grease cleans. Keep it in your maintenance log.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. The legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005: the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19® is the recognised way to show grease is under control.
Can you give me a price for grease trap cleaning?
Trap size, type, condition and access all affect the price. Send us details or a photo and we will send you a fixed quote.
Do you take the waste away?
We take it away. Your staff don’t have to handle it once the clean is done.
What types of premises do you cover?
Commercial premises of every kind: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. We fit the work around how the site operates.
What staff can safely do
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Different parts, different methods
Under-sink grease traps
Under-sink units are easy to forget. When they fill, the sink slows and starts to smell.
Grease interceptors
An interceptor works on the same principle as a smaller trap. Grease floats and solids sink.
