Grease trap cleaning in Shottermill
For kitchens across Shottermill, grease trap cleaning fits easily around service. The trap is emptied, cleaned and checked, and the waste is taken away. It can be booked on its own or alongside other kitchen work. Common call-outs are for gurgling drains in the kitchen and washing-up water that won’t drain away, on inline grease traps, restaurants and takeaways and pot wash sinks.
Around a place like Shottermill, deep clean work tends to mean pubs, cafés and school or care home kitchens. A smaller kitchen still builds up grease where everyday cleaning doesn’t reach.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Keeping the system healthy
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep the grease trap on a regular cleaning schedule
- Act on gurgling or smelly drains
- Keep strainers in every sink
- Keep access to the trap clear
You’ll get our view on how often the trap needs cleaning. It’s based on how full it was and how busy the kitchen is.
Fat that escapes the trap hardens in the pipework. Clearing it then is a bigger job so prevention is the easier route.
Grease trap cleaning around Shottermill
Food Standards Agency data counts about 25 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 9 takeaways and sandwich shops within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Shottermill. Wherever they wash pans and plates, fat heads for the drain unless a trap catches it. Food hygiene inspections in Shottermill are the job of Waverley council’s environmental health team. The state of floors, drains and hard-to-reach corners all feeds into the inspection. A record of each deep clean helps show the kitchen is kept in order.
For a café close to Haslemere station, a deep clean can be done between closing and the morning rush. Half-term is a good time for school kitchens, at schools like Camelsdale Primary School for instance, to have the grease trap emptied and the kitchen deep cleaned.

What the work involves, part by part
Grease interceptors
A larger unit takes more time to empty and clean and we allow for that.
Inline grease traps
Access to an inline trap can be in a floor or cupboard. We check how to reach it before the visit.
When it’s something else
Grease trap cleaning cannot fix everything, and we will tell you before work begins. It will not put right:
- Drains that are cracked or have collapsed
- Grease set hard in the drain run
- Blockages in the public sewer beyond the property
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Parts of the system we cover
- Kitchen waste pipes
- Restaurants and takeaways
- School and care home kitchens
- Under-sink grease traps
- Inline grease traps
- Pot wash sinks
Multi-site and managed buildings
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we will come back with a fixed quote.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Common problems we fix in Shottermill
A busy kitchen in Shottermill, or anywhere else, fills its grease trap faster. A trap that suited a quieter kitchen can fill very quickly when trade picks up.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Gurgling from the sink waste
- A bad smell from the sinks or drains
- A grease trap that hasn’t been emptied in a long time
- A slow-draining kitchen sink
Healthcare kitchens cook through the year, so a deep clean has to be fitted around meals; Haslemere and District Hospital, about 1.3 miles east, is the nearest hospital to Shottermill.

How regularly does a grease trap need emptying?
It varies. We look at how full the trap is and how quickly it fills, then suggest a schedule.

We start with protection: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
What does a grease trap clean cost?
Every trap is different, so we price each one individually. You get a fixed quote, usually within one working day.
What happens on the day
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes an hour or so for an under-sink trap, longer for a larger unit. Getting to the system matters more than parking in a place like Shottermill, so let us know how to reach it.
- We start by finding the trap and checking its inlet and outlet.
- The sinks feeding the trap are kept out of use while we work.
- The trap is emptied of grease and food waste.
- The inside, baffles and pipe connections are cleaned.
- Once it’s refitted, water is run through to check it drains, and we take the waste with us.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
