- A kitchen drain that smells
- An inline trap or interceptor due for cleaning
- Sinks that drain slowly
Aftercare tips
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Don’t rely on hot water to clear grease
- Scrape plates and pans into the bin before washing up
- Collect waste cooking oil separately
- Don’t store things on top of the trap
Scrape plates into the bin before washing up. Use strainers in the sink plugholes so less solid waste gets through.
If the kitchen has got busier, the trap fills faster. Booking cleans more often stops it overflowing.
Grease trap cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Rowledge
For kitchens across Rowledge, grease trap cleaning fits easily around service. The trap is emptied, cleaned and checked, and the waste is taken away. It works on its own or with a deep clean or extract clean. The work covers kitchen waste pipes, inline grease traps and under-sink grease traps, and common reasons people get in touch are a regular cleaning plan for the grease trap and an under-sink unit that needs regular emptying.
In a village or hamlet like Rowledge, commercial kitchens are few, perhaps a pub, a school or a care home. Each still needs the occasional deep clean and its grease trap kept clear.
A written report with photos follows every visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What else we do in Rowledge
How it works
Night work is normal for us. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so the site can open as normal afterwards. The visit itself takes less than an hour for many under-sink units. For a village or hamlet like Rowledge, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- First, we locate the grease trap and look at the pipework around it.
- The sinks feeding the trap are kept out of use while we work.
- The trap is emptied of grease and food waste.
- Every part of the trap is scraped and cleaned, including the baffles.
- We put it back together, run water through and remove the waste.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Move anything stored near the system

Advice
How we price grease trap cleaning
The price is fixed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- Parking and loading at the site
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Site rules, permits and inductions
What you pay depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
What to send for a quote
To speed up the quote, please include:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
We do not publish a price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, and then send you a fixed quote. To start, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
Why deal with it now?
Wherever the kitchen is in Rowledge, backed-up drains stop it working. Sinks will not empty and waste water can come back up. Cleaning the grease trap on time helps prevent it. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before work begins.

Rowledge: your questions answered
Which council inspects kitchens in Rowledge?
Kitchens in Rowledge are inspected by Waverley council’s environmental health officers. An officer may look behind equipment and at drains, so it pays to have the deep clean booked before those areas build up.
Can you get to a site in Rowledge?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Do you recommend a next date?
Yes. How often depends on use and condition, and we explain the reasoning on the report.
What does a grease trap clean cost?
Trap size, type, condition and access all affect the price. Tell us about the trap and we will come back with a fixed price.
Do you clean under-sink and inline grease traps?
Both under-sink and inline traps, plus interceptors. If you’re not sure what you have, send us a photo and we’ll confirm.
Do the sinks have to be out of use during the clean?
While the trap is being cleaned, nothing can drain into it. We book the visit around your service so the kitchen isn’t held up.
Can you clear our blocked drains as well?
We clean the trap, not the drain network. If the drain beyond the trap is blocked or damaged, we’ll tell you so you can call a drainage contractor.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We start with protection: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. That’s our job.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
Honest limits
Before booking, it helps to know what’s not included:
- A grease trap that is too small for the kitchen
- Blockages further down the drainage network
- Broken pipework below ground
If you are not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Where we work
- Inline grease traps
- School and care home kitchens
- Pot wash sinks
- Under-sink grease traps
- Restaurants and takeaways
- Kitchen waste pipes
What grease trap cleaning looks like in Rowledge
Food Standards Agency records include about 3 pubs, bars and clubs within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Rowledge. Any of them serving food has a kitchen that collects grease out of sight and drains that need protecting. Food hygiene inspections in Rowledge are the job of Waverley council’s environmental health team. Walls, floors, ceilings and equipment are all part of what they look at. A cleaning log that includes deep cleans and grease trap visits shows the work is planned.
School kitchens, at schools like Rowledge Church of England Controlled Primary School for example, usually have their deep cleans and grease trap work done while the canteen is closed. Where a church or community hall near Saint James, or anywhere in Rowledge, has a kitchen used by volunteers, a periodic deep clean keeps it ready for the next event.
