Grease trap cleaning in Shootash, done properly
If the sinks drain slowly or smell, the trap is often the cause. We find the trap, empty it and clean it and run water through to check it drains. The work covers kitchen waste pipes, under-sink grease traps and restaurants and takeaways, and people most often call us about an under-sink unit that needs regular emptying and a grease trap that hasn’t been emptied in a long time.
Somewhere as small as Shootash, the kitchens that need a deep clean are usually a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still needs the occasional deep clean and its grease trap kept clear.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

What the work involves, part by part
Grease interceptors
An interceptor works on the same principle as a smaller trap. Cooling water lets grease rise and solids settle.
Under-sink grease traps
Under-sink traps are cleaned in a short visit, and check the lid and seals.
Looking after it afterwards
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Let us know if the kitchen gets busier
- Scrape plates and pans into the bin before washing up
- Fit sink strainers to catch food scraps
- Report slow or smelly sinks early
Collect waste cooking oil separately rather than pouring it down the sink, and the trap will stay cleaner for longer. It makes a real difference.
Fat that escapes the trap hardens in the pipework. Once it’s there, it needs a drainage contractor to clear so prevention is the easier route.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Shootash
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so each one has its own record.
What affects the cost of grease trap cleaning
Every site gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- How many systems or sites are involved
- The scale of the work
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 we start.
What to send for a quote
What to send for a quote:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Any previous report or certificate
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.
What we do, step by step
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and the same goes into the written report. The visit takes a short visit for a small trap and longer for an inline unit or interceptor. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Shootash run smoothly.
- We locate the trap and check how it’s fitted.
- We make sure nothing drains into the trap.
- We empty out the fat, oil, grease and solids.
- We clean every part of the inside.
- The trap is refitted, tested with water and the waste taken away.
How to prepare
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Let us know about parking and loading
Ask for a quote
We do not publish a price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To get going, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.

Other services in Shootash
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
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.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.
