Grease trap cleaning in Pyrford Green
Grease trap cleaning keeps the drains running and the smells away. The fat, oil, grease and solids are taken out and the chambers and baffles cleaned and the trap checked before we leave. The work covers school and care home kitchens, pot wash sinks and kitchen waste pipes, and common reasons people get in touch are scheduled grease trap emptying and a full, neglected grease trap.
In rural areas, a kitchen may drain to a private system rather than a public sewer, and fat getting past a grease trap can cause real trouble there.
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 are fully insured.

What a clean will not put right
Grease trap cleaning cannot fix everything, and we will tell you before we start. It will not put right:
- A leaking sink waste or trap connection
- Collapsed or damaged drains, which need a drainage contractor
- Sewer problems outside the premises
If you’re not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.

Keeping the system healthy
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Keep strainers in every sink
- Keep waste oil out of the drains
- Scrape plates and pans into the bin before washing up
- Let us know if the kitchen gets busier
Once the trap is cleaned and refitted, the sinks can be used right away. We run water through to check it drains before we leave.
If the kitchen has got busier, the trap fills faster. Shortening the cleaning interval now stops it overflowing.
What grease trap cleaning looks like in Pyrford Green
There are about 14 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 3 takeaways and sandwich shops across Pyrford Green and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half), according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Fat from washing up sets hard in pipes, and kitchens like these produce plenty of it. Kitchens in Pyrford Green get their food hygiene inspections from Woking council. The state of floors, drains and hard-to-reach corners all feeds into the inspection. Photos and dates from each deep clean make a useful record.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Woking Community Hospital (about 2.6 miles west), cook for long hours, so deep cleans and grease trap work are planned around patients’ meals. Half-term is a good time for school kitchens, at schools like Pyrford Church of England Primary School for instance, to have the grease trap emptied and the kitchen deep cleaned. Where a church or community hall near St Nicholas's Church, or anywhere in Pyrford Green, has a kitchen used by volunteers, a periodic deep clean keeps it ready for the next event.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Leave it or put it right?
Once the trap is full, grease heads for the drain. There it sets and narrows the pipe until water can’t get through. Cleaning the trap regularly is far easier than clearing a blocked drain. Somewhere as small as Pyrford Green, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before any work starts.

What affects the quote in Pyrford Green
You will get a fixed price before any work starts. It’s based on:
- The condition we find in the survey
- How big the system is
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Parking and loading at the site
What you pay depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
What we need to know
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- The postcode and the type of business
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Problems your staff have spotted
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, and then send you a fixed quote. To start, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Common questions in Pyrford Green
Can you work in Pyrford Green outside opening hours?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. That way a site in Pyrford Green does not have to lose a day’s trading. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Can school kitchens in Pyrford Green be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. There are about 5 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Pyrford Green. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
What do you do with what you remove?
We take it away when we go. During the work, it’s contained to keep the area clean.
Who is the responsible person?
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, it’s the responsible person: often the employer, owner or occupier. Landlords, facilities managers and managing agents can also hold responsibility.
What paperwork should we keep on file?
Everything that shows the system is looked after: our reports and pictures, any certificates and your in-house logs. A single log for each site works best.
What’s the right interval for grease trap cleaning?
That depends on the trap and the kitchen. Small under-sink units fill faster than larger traps and the busier the kitchen, the faster it fills. We’ll recommend a schedule once we have seen it.
What does a grease trap clean cost?
It depends on the type and size of the trap, its condition and access. Tell us about the trap and we’ll come back with a fixed price.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, and the emergency line covers the rest.
The process
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Pyrford Green and turn up when the site is quiet.
- A visit is booked around your service.
- We open the trap and look at its condition.
- Built-up grease and food waste are taken out.
- The inside, baffles and outlet are cleaned.
- We close it up, check it drains and suggest when it needs cleaning again.
Before we arrive
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
Ask for a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
