Grease trap cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Purbrook Heath
Smells from the sink, gurgling drains or slow drainage all point to the grease trap. We find the trap, empty it and clean it, then check the water flows properly. The work covers restaurants and takeaways, kitchen waste pipes and pot wash sinks, and the jobs we see most are gurgling drains in the kitchen and an overdue grease trap.
Work in a small place like Purbrook Heath starts with agreeing a date and access, and the deep clean is the same as anywhere: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

For landlords and multi-site operators
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Every visit ends with a dated report and photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Keeping the system healthy
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Let us know if the kitchen gets busier
- Make sure the trap can be reached easily
- Collect waste cooking oil separately
- Avoid pouring boiling water down to shift grease
We’ll suggest when the trap should be cleaned again. That depends on how quickly it filled and how much the kitchen cooks.
Grease that gets past the trap sets in the drains. Clearing it then is a bigger job so prevention is the easier route.
When something else is needed
Grease trap cleaning can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t put right:
- Drains that are cracked or have collapsed
- Leaking pipework or sink wastes, which need a plumber
- Sewer problems outside the premises
If you’re not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will give you a straight answer.
Where we work

What happens on the day
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and the same goes into the written report. All told, the work takes less than an hour for many under-sink units. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Purbrook Heath run smoothly.
- First, we locate the grease trap and look at the pipework around it.
- We ask for the sinks that drain into the trap not to be used.
- Built-up fat, oil and grease is removed from the trap.
- We clean the chambers, baffles and connections.
- Once it’s refitted, water is run through to check it drains, and we take the waste with us.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in

Fixed quotes for grease trap cleaning in Purbrook Heath
We do not publish a price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- What state the system is in
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.
Helping us quote
We can often survey from pictures. Try to include:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use

What the work involves, part by part
Under-sink grease traps
Small grease traps sit under the sink. Their small size means they fill fast, so they need frequent emptying.
School, care home and staff kitchens
Kitchens with fixed mealtimes build up grease more predictably. A regular interval suits them well.
