Grease trap cleaning in Stoneleigh, done properly
In Stoneleigh, we time grease trap visits so the sinks are not needed. The trap is emptied, cleaned and checked and remove the waste. It works on its own or with a deep clean or extract clean. If you’re dealing with washing-up water that won’t drain away and an overdue grease trap, we can put it right, from pot wash sinks, kitchen waste pipes and inline grease traps onwards.
Work in a smaller place like Stoneleigh is planned around your opening hours, and the journey is planned ahead.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

Commercial kitchens in Stoneleigh
There are about 122 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 57 sandwich bars and takeaways within about 1.5 miles of central Stoneleigh, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Fat from washing up sets hard in pipes, and kitchens like these produce plenty of it. It’s Epsom and Ewell council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Stoneleigh. They look at the cleanliness of the whole kitchen: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment. Keeping a record of deep cleans and grease trap visits helps at inspection time.
Hall kitchens near The Parish Church of St John the Baptist or elsewhere in Stoneleigh may have older sinks and drains, so a grease trap check is worth adding to a deep clean. If you run a café or takeaway near Stoneleigh station, a deep clean overnight means the kitchen opens as normal next morning.

What else we do in Stoneleigh
What affects the quote in Stoneleigh
Sites vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- How big the system is
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You will have a fixed price before work begins.
Asking for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Your last certificate, test record or report
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, photos of the system and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
For landlords and multi-site operators
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, 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.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Every visit ends with a dated report and photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Signs you need grease trap cleaning in Stoneleigh
A busy kitchen in Stoneleigh, or anywhere else, fills its grease trap faster. A trap that suited a quieter kitchen can fill very quickly when trade picks up.
What we’re most often called out for:
- Scheduled grease trap emptying
- A blocked kitchen drain caused by grease
- A bad smell from the sinks or drains
- A full, neglected grease trap
Healthcare kitchens cook through the year, so a deep clean has to be fitted around meals; St. Ebba's Hospital, about 1.5 miles south-west, is the nearest hospital to Stoneleigh.
Questions to ask before you book
- What hours they’ll be on site
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
What staff can safely do
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Collect waste cooking oil separately
- Don’t store things on top of the trap
- Act on gurgling or smelly drains
- Mention any increase in cooking
Scrape plates into the bin before washing up. Sink strainers help catch solids so less solid waste gets through.
Fat that escapes the trap hardens in the pipework. Clearing it then is a bigger job, so it’s far better to keep the trap clean.
Leave it or put it right?
A full grease trap lets grease through to the drains. It hardens on the pipe walls, until the drain blocks. Regular trap cleaning beats dealing with a blockage. Booking now means the visit to Stoneleigh is planned around you, not forced by a breakdown.
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered and we will price it together.

What happens on the day
We’re used to working while the site is closed. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so the site can open as normal afterwards. On site, the work takes an hour or so for an under-sink trap, longer for a larger unit. Evenings, weekends or a closed day all work for a site in a place like Stoneleigh.
- We locate the trap and check how it’s fitted.
- We make sure nothing drains into the trap.
- We empty out the fat, oil, grease and solids.
- The chambers and baffles are cleaned.
- The trap is refitted, tested with water and the waste taken away.
Getting ready for the visit
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
Ask for a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

Common questions in Stoneleigh
Which council inspects kitchens in Stoneleigh?
Kitchens in Stoneleigh are inspected by Epsom and Ewell council’s environmental health officers. Inspection results feed into the food hygiene rating published by the Food Standards Agency.
Can you work in school kitchens in Stoneleigh during the holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. Food Standards Agency records list about 25 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Stoneleigh. You can ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with the dates the site is empty.
Do you clean under-sink and inline grease traps?
We cover under-sink, inline and interceptor units. Each one is emptied, cleaned and checked whatever the size.
What should go in our maintenance log?
Every certificate and report from each visit, filed in the maintenance log, along with your own cleaning log. BESA advises that certificates record the date, location and technician.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Photos often do the job, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
The report shows them clearly. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, and we can fit those.
