What your team can do, and what needs us
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.
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.
Grease trap cleaning in Stroud Common
Grease trap cleaning keeps the drains running and the smells away. The fat, oil, grease and solids are taken out and the chambers and baffles cleaned and the trap checked before we leave. The work covers school and care home kitchens, kitchen waste pipes and inline grease traps, and people most often call us about a slow-draining kitchen sink and grease setting in the kitchen pipework.
Work in a small place like Stroud Common starts with agreeing a date and access.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Grease trap cleaning in Stroud Common: local notes
About 29 miles out from central London, Stroud Common is part of the South East area we work across. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site. It’s Waverley council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Stroud Common. Walls, floors, ceilings and equipment are all part of what they look at. Keeping a record of deep cleans and grease trap visits helps at inspection time.
Half-term is a good time for school kitchens, at schools like Wonersh and Shamley Green CofE Aided Primary School for instance, to have the grease trap emptied and the kitchen deep cleaned. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Christ Church or elsewhere in Stroud Common, a deep clean and an emptied grease trap before a busy season of events are worth booking. If you cater for weddings or events at a historic house in the area (Chilworth Manor is about 3.1 miles north), deep cleans can be fitted between bookings.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Stroud Common
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.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We are happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
What affects the quote in Stroud Common
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- How big the system is
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- The condition of the system
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we’ll price it together.
What we need to know
What to send for a quote:
- The postcode and the type of business
- 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
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
To get a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. You’ll normally have a quote within one working day.
Why act early in Stroud Common
Once the trap is full, grease heads for the drain. It hardens on the pipe walls until water cannot get through. Regular trap cleaning beats dealing with a blockage. In a place like Stroud Common, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before work begins.

Part by part
Baffles and outlets
Clean water leaves through the outlet. A blocked outlet stops the trap working.
School, care home and staff kitchens
In schools, grease traps can be cleaned when the kitchen is closed or between meal services.
How it works
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the photos you sent. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes an hour or so for an under-sink trap, longer for a larger unit. The timing of a visit to Stroud Common is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- First, we find the trap and look at its connections.
- Sinks feeding the trap are taken out of use.
- Grease and solids are removed from the trap.
- The chambers and baffles are cleaned.
- The trap is refitted, tested with water and the waste taken away.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Clear loose items from the work area
Ask for a quote
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

Common questions in Stroud Common
Who inspects food businesses in Stroud Common?
In Stroud Common, it’s Waverley council that carries out food hygiene inspections. An officer may look behind equipment and at drains, so it pays to have the deep clean booked before those areas build up.
Will you come out to Stroud Common?
Yes, Stroud Common is part of our area, however small the site. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Do you provide a certificate or report?
Yes. It’s the record insurers and inspectors ask to see: a written, dated record with photos of what we did and anything we couldn’t access.
Do we need to stop using the sinks while you work?
The sinks that drain into the trap cannot be used while it’s open. We book the visit around your service to keep disruption down.
Where does the grease from the trap go?
We take the grease and solids away with us. Nothing greasy is left on site when we go.
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.
Will cleaning the grease trap fix a blocked drain?
It depends where the blockage is. If the trap is full, cleaning it often helps, but blockages further along need a drainage contractor.
What does a grease trap clean cost?
Trap size, type, condition and access all affect the price. Send us details or a photo and we’ll send you a fixed quote.
