Multi-site and managed buildings
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Every visit ends with a dated report and photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
Grease trap cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Stanwell
Grease trap cleaning keeps the drains running and the smells away. We empty the built-up grease and food solids, clean the inside and the baffles and the trap checked before we leave. We are often asked to deal with foul odours from the grease trap and a larger grease trap that needs emptying, across school and care home kitchens, inline grease traps and restaurants and takeaways.
In a smaller place like Stanwell, commercial kitchens are more likely to be a pub, a café, a takeaway or a school or care home kitchen. A smaller kitchen still builds up grease where everyday cleaning doesn’t reach.
A written report with photos follows each 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.

Grease trap cleaning in Stanwell: local notes
The Food Standards Agency lists about 13 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 3 hotels and guest houses as registered food businesses in Stanwell and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Where they run a kitchen, it needs the same deep cleaning and grease trap care as any restaurant. It’s Spelthorne council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Stanwell. The state of floors, drains and hard-to-reach corners all feeds into the inspection. Photos and dates from each deep clean make a useful record.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Mary or elsewhere in Stanwell, a deep clean and an emptied grease trap before a busy season of events are worth booking. A summer deep clean suits schools such as Stanwell Fields CofE Primary School, as the kitchen can be stripped back with no lunches to serve.

How it works
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the pictures you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, it takes anything from under an hour to a few hours, depending on the trap. Because the survey comes first, a visit to Stanwell can typically be finished without a second trip.
- We agree a time when the sinks aren’t needed.
- The trap is opened up and checked.
- Built-up grease and food waste are taken out.
- The inside, baffles and outlet are cleaned.
- The trap is closed, tested and the next clean discussed.
Before we arrive
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool

When it’s something else
Not every problem is solved by grease trap cleaning, and we’d rather say so up front. It doesn’t solve:
- A trap undersized for the amount of cooking
- Collapsed or damaged drains, which need a drainage contractor
- Sewer problems outside the premises
If you are not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Parts of the system we cover
- Pot wash sinks
- School and care home kitchens

Your questions about grease trap cleaning in Stanwell
Do you cover smaller places like Stanwell?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Stanwell included. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Can school kitchens in Stanwell be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. There are about 8 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Stanwell. Just call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with your term dates and we will plan around them.
Can you clear our blocked drains as well?
We clean the trap, not the drain network. Where the problem is further down the drain, we will say so so you can call a drainage contractor.
Are you insured?
Yes, fully. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it, for sites that check contractor safety.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes, of course. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we will propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
Will the grease trap clean disrupt the kitchen?
Just the sinks that drain into the trap, and only while we work. We plan the visit for a quieter time where we can.
Why does a grease trap need regular cleaning?
An overfull trap lets grease into the drains. It sets there and narrows the pipes and causes blockages. Regular cleaning prevents it.
Where does the waste go?
We take it away at the end of the visit. During the work, it’s contained to keep the area clean.
What affects the cost of grease trap cleaning
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- The times the site is available
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- The scale of the work
- Parking and loading at the site
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.
Asking for a quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- The postcode and the type of business
- Any previous report or certificate
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
If you need grease trap cleaning in Stanwell, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line. Tell us what kind of premises it is and when it’s open, and send photos or your last report if you can. A fixed quote usually follows within one working day.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Why deal with it now?
Smells from a neglected trap are hard to ignore. Rotting food and grease give off foul odours that can reach the kitchen and beyond. A clean trap takes the source away. Systems on quieter sites still build up dirt and wear, just more slowly.
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before we start.
Why us?
- Fixed quotes, typically within one working day
- Accredited under CHAS and SafeContractor, with ISO 9001
- One number for every site across the South East and London
- Member of BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease

When to call us in Stanwell
Hot water and detergent carry grease further than you’d expect. When it cools, the grease hardens in the pipework or the drain.
Most sites get in touch when they notice one of these:
- A routine grease trap service
- Gurgling from the sink waste
- A bad smell from the sinks or drains
- A full, neglected grease trap
If you run a care home or healthcare kitchen near Stanwell (the nearest hospital is Ashford Hospital, about 0.9 miles south), a grease trap on a set schedule avoids a blocked drain mid-service.
What to look for in a quote
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- Whether they’re fully insured
