About our grease trap cleaning in Temple Ewell
In Temple Ewell, we time grease trap visits so the sinks aren’t needed. We empty, clean and check the trap, and the waste is taken away. It can be booked on its own or alongside other kitchen work. If you have a larger grease trap that needs emptying and drains clogged with fat, we can put it right, from school and care home kitchens, pot wash sinks and inline grease traps onwards.
In a village or hamlet like Temple Ewell, commercial kitchens are few, perhaps a pub, a school or a care home. Each still needs the occasional deep clean and its grease trap kept clear.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Your questions about grease trap cleaning in Temple Ewell
Is Temple Ewell within the area you cover?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Temple Ewell is covered. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Can the work in Temple Ewell be done at night or at weekends?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. Your customers, staff or residents in Temple Ewell needn’t be disturbed. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
How do you protect the area?
We start with protection: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
Do you deal with blocked drains beyond the grease trap?
That depends on the cause. If the trap is full, cleaning it often helps but grease set further down the drains needs jetting by a drainage specialist.
What does a grease trap clean cost?
No two traps are quite the same, so we quote once we know what you have. We give you a fixed price, usually within one working day.
What do you do with the waste?
We remove all the waste we take out. None of it goes back into the drains, of course.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No, not in itself. TR19® is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs check against, and many insurers ask for proof of cleaning to it. The legal duty sits in the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 in England and Wales.
Will you tell us when the next visit is due?
Yes. The report recommends when the next visit should be, based on what we found and how the system is used.
Common problems we fix in Temple Ewell
Every pan and plate washed sends grease towards the drain. They cool and float to the top of the trap, and the layer gets thicker day by day.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- A kitchen drain that smells
- An under-sink trap that keeps filling up
- Drains clogged with fat
- A full, neglected grease trap
Where a church or community hall near Church of St Peter and St Paul, or anywhere in Temple Ewell, has a kitchen used by volunteers, a periodic deep clean keeps it ready for the next event.
Questions to ask before booking
- Proof of insurance
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- What paperwork you get at the end
What affects the quote in Temple Ewell
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We consider:
- The number of sites or systems
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- A single visit or a regular plan
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.
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
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Any previous report or certificate

Part by part
Under-sink grease traps
An under-sink trap is out of sight. When they fill, the sink slows and starts to smell.
School, care home and staff kitchens
Kitchens with fixed mealtimes build up grease more predictably. Planned cleaning fits their routine.
What we do, step by step
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. In a small place like Temple Ewell, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- We start by finding the trap and checking its inlet and outlet.
- The sinks feeding the trap are kept out of use while we work.
- The trap is emptied of grease and food waste.
- We clean the chambers, baffles and connections.
- The trap is reassembled, checked for leaks and the waste taken away.
How to prepare
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Move anything stored near the system
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
Getting a quote
Getting a quote does not take long. Send a few details and photos, and we typically reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
