About our grease trap cleaning in Stonehill
For kitchens across Stonehill, grease trap cleaning fits easily around service. We empty, clean and check the trap and remove the waste. It works on its own or with a deep clean or extract clean. If you are dealing with a routine grease trap service and an overdue grease trap, we can put it right, from school and care home kitchens, restaurants and takeaways and inline grease traps onwards.
In rural areas, a kitchen may drain to a private system rather than a public sewer, so keeping fat out with a working grease trap matters even more.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with photos of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

What the work involves, part by part
School, care home and staff kitchens
Kitchens that serve set mealtimes fill their traps more steadily. A regular interval suits them well.
Under-sink grease traps
Under-sink traps are cleaned in a short visit, and check the lid and seals.
Aftercare tips
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Collect waste cooking oil separately
- Mention any increase in cooking
- Use strainers in the sink plugholes
- Report slow or smelly sinks early
Keep used oil out of the drains and the trap will not fill as quickly. It makes a real difference.
A trap that’s left too long stops catching grease. Cleaning it before it’s full keeps grease out of the drains and saves a call-out for a blocked drain.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
What happens on the day
Night work is normal for us. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so the site can open as normal afterwards. On site, the work takes a short visit for a small trap and longer for an inline unit or interceptor. A few photos of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Stonehill.
- A visit is booked around your service.
- The trap is opened up and checked.
- Built-up grease and food waste are taken out.
- We clean the baffles, inlet and outlet.
- The trap is closed, tested and the next clean discussed.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Clear loose items from the work area

Related advice
Your questions about grease trap cleaning in Stonehill
Do you work at weekends in Stonehill?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Stonehill needn’t be disturbed. Just call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Which environmental health team covers Stonehill?
The local authority for Stonehill is Runnymede council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. An officer may look behind equipment and at drains, so it pays to have the deep clean booked before those areas build up.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so sites at different addresses can be planned together on one programme. Each site gets its own report and photos.
How much notice do you need?
The more notice, the better, particularly for night and weekend visits. We usually quote within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
Can you clear our blocked drains as well?
That depends on the cause. If the trap is full, cleaning it often helps, but blockages further along need a drainage contractor.
How regularly does a grease trap need emptying?
It varies with the trap and the kitchen. Slow or smelly sinks between cleans mean it needs doing more often and we’ll adjust the schedule.
What should go in our maintenance log?
Anything that proves the system is maintained: reports, certificates, pictures and your own cleaning or check logs. A single log for each site works best.
Which grease traps does the service cover?
Under-sink units, inline traps and interceptors are all covered. Tell us what you have and we will plan around it.
What grease trap cleaning looks like in Stonehill
Look up Stonehill on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 12 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Stonehill. Fat from washing up sets hard in pipes, and kitchens like these produce plenty of it. Environmental health officers from Runnymede council inspect food businesses in Stonehill. They look at the cleanliness of the whole kitchen: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment. A record of each deep clean helps show the kitchen is kept in order. We cover Stonehill, about 22 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. Evening, overnight and weekend visits are all possible.
If you run a kitchen in an older building near Stonehill, such as a historic house like Botleys Mansion (about 1.4 miles north-east), older drains make a working grease trap all the more important. If you look after a hall kitchen near Christ Church or anywhere in Stonehill, a deep clean between busy seasons is easier than a scramble before a big event.

Signs you need grease trap cleaning in Stonehill
Every pan and plate washed sends grease towards the drain. They cool and float to the top of the trap and the grease layer grows.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- A regular cleaning plan for the grease trap
- An under-sink unit that needs regular emptying
- Drains that gurgle and bubble
- A kitchen drain that smells
St. Peter's Hospital, about 1.8 miles north-east, is the nearest hospital to Stonehill; healthcare kitchens cannot stop cooking, so deep cleans are worked around meal times.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
