Grease trap cleaning for kitchens and businesses in South Nutfield
Grease trap cleaning keeps the drains running and the smells away. The fat, oil, grease and solids are taken out, clean the inside and the baffles, and check the trap is working properly. The work covers inline grease traps, pot wash sinks and school and care home kitchens, and common reasons people get in touch are a kitchen drain that smells and an under-sink trap that keeps filling up.
Rural kitchens may drain to a septic tank or a private drain rather than straight into a public sewer, so keeping fat out with a working grease trap matters even more.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That’s why every job is written up in a report with pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
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, which is where we come in.
Do you need grease trap cleaning in South Nutfield?
Oil tipped down the drain instead of being collected overloads the trap fast. Small amounts soon build up.
What we’re most often called out for:
- Scheduled grease trap emptying
- A slow-draining kitchen sink
- Gurgling from the sink waste
- An under-sink unit that needs regular emptying
Hall and church kitchens, near Christ Church or anywhere around South Nutfield, are used by many hands, and periodic deep cleans and grease trap visits keep them in order.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- Whether a survey comes first
The process
The visit has three parts: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, and the sign-off is a written report with photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, which takes an hour or so for an under-sink trap, longer for a larger unit. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to South Nutfield and turn up when the site is quiet.
- A visit is booked around your service.
- We open the trap and look at its condition.
- We remove the grease layer and settled solids.
- The inside, baffles and outlet are cleaned.
- We close it up, check it drains and suggest when it needs cleaning again.
Before we arrive
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards

What affects the cost of grease trap cleaning
There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- The times the site is available
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- How big the system is
- Whether several sites go on one quote
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we survey first, from photos or on site, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.
Helping us quote
You do not need the technical terms. Just send:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- A few general shots of the system
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.
Why act early in South Nutfield
A full grease trap lets grease through to the drains. There it sets and narrows the pipe until water can’t get through. Regular trap cleaning beats dealing with a blockage. If the system at a site near South Nutfield fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before we start.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.

Yes, holiday work suits schools best. With about 2 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of South Nutfield, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Tell us your holiday dates and we’ll book the visit for when the site is empty.
What is TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark.
Are you accredited?

What should go in our maintenance log?
Visit reports, certificates and your in-house cleaning logs. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs may all ask to see them, so keep them where they can be found quickly.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
We never leave them off the paperwork. You will know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
What problems does a full grease trap cause?
A full trap cannot catch any more grease. It then sets in the drains, causing blockages and smells and can end up adding to sewer blockages.
