Grease trap cleaning in Punnett's Town, done properly
A grease trap is the kitchen drain’s first line of protection. When it’s looked after, you hardly know it’s there, but neglected, it causes blockages and smells. Routine cleaning keeps it in good working order. The work covers inline grease traps, pot wash sinks and school and care home kitchens, and common reasons people get in touch are a bad smell from the sinks or drains and a routine grease trap service.
For a kitchen in or near Punnett's Town, the visit is planned ahead, around opening times and the journey, and the deep clean is the same as anywhere: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

What the work involves, part by part
Grease interceptors
Grease interceptors are larger units that serve busier kitchens. With more capacity, they fill more slowly but they still need cleaning.
School, care home and staff kitchens
School kitchens can be cleaned in the holidays or after lunch service.
Keeping the system healthy
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Never pour used oil down the sink
- Keep the grease trap on a regular cleaning schedule
- Do not rely on hot water to clear grease
- Do not store things on top of the trap
Between cleans, keep food scraps out of the sink. Use strainers in the sink plugholes before they reach the trap.
Grease that gets past the trap sets in the drains. Clearing it then is a bigger job, so it’s far better to keep the trap clean.
When to call us in Punnett's Town
For a kitchen in Punnett's Town or anywhere else, the trap is out of sight and out of mind. Hidden under a sink or in a floor it’s often left until there’s a problem.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- A larger grease trap that needs emptying
- An under-sink trap that keeps filling up
- Foul odours from the grease trap
- A full, neglected grease trap
Bateman's, about 3.6 miles north-east, is one of the historic houses around Punnett's Town; event kitchens at places like that work in bursts, so a deep clean after a busy season helps.

The process
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, do the work, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. On site, the work takes an hour or so for an under-sink trap, longer for a larger unit. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Punnett's Town before we set off.
- We start by finding the trap and checking its inlet and outlet.
- Nothing drains into the trap while it’s open.
- Built-up fat, oil and grease is removed from the trap.
- The inside, baffles and pipe connections are cleaned.
- The trap is reassembled, checked for leaks and the waste taken away.
How to prepare
- Clear the space around the work
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site

Related advice
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
