About our grease trap cleaning in Slinfold
Grease is behind most blocked kitchen drains. Down the line, they can add to fatbergs in the sewer. A well-maintained trap holds them back. If you are dealing with grease setting in the kitchen pipework and a routine grease trap service, we can help.
For a kitchen in or near Slinfold, the visit is planned ahead, around opening times and the journey.
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, with full insurance on top.

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 it goes on the report too.

Your questions about grease trap cleaning in Slinfold
Do you cover smaller places like Slinfold?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Slinfold is covered. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you work in school kitchens around Slinfold out of term?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. With about 2 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Slinfold, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Do you clean under-sink and inline grease traps?
We clean all the common types. A photo helps us see what’s fitted and we will confirm.
Are you accredited?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We have been trading since 2009 and we are fully insured.
Why does a grease trap need regular cleaning?
An overfull trap stops separating grease. The result is slow drains, foul odours and eventually a blockage.
What should go in our maintenance log?
Each report and certificate we give you, kept together in your maintenance log, along with your own cleaning log. BESA says certificates should show the date, location and technician.
How do you protect the area?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before any work starts, and waste is contained as we go. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
How often should a grease trap be cleaned?
There’s no single answer. The interval depends on how quickly your trap fills, then suggest a schedule.
Why deal with it now?
Grease that gets past the trap does not disappear. It can build up in the drains and join fatbergs in the sewer. Keeping it in the trap, and emptying the trap, is the responsible thing to do. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we’ll price it together.

What staff can safely do
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
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, alongside our reports.
