Grease trap cleaning in The Hangers
Grease traps sit between the sinks and the drain, holding back fats, oils and grease. As the waste water cools, the grease floats and stays in the trap while the water carries on to the drain. Eventually it fills and has to be emptied and cleaned. If you have a blocked kitchen drain caused by grease and an inline trap or interceptor due for cleaning, we can help.
In rural areas, a kitchen may drain to a private system rather than a public sewer, and fat getting past a grease trap can cause real trouble there.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

Managing agents and facilities teams in The Hangers
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
Different parts, different methods
School, care home and staff kitchens
School kitchens can be cleaned in the holidays or between meal services.
Inline grease traps
Access to an inline trap can be in a floor or cupboard. We check how to reach it before the visit.
What staff can safely do
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
What a clean will not put right
Not every problem is solved by grease trap cleaning, and we will tell you before any work starts. It doesn’t solve:
- A trap undersized for the amount of cooking
- Drains that need jetting rather than trap cleaning
- Plumbing leaks around the sink
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Parts of the system we cover
- Kitchen waste pipes
- Inline grease traps
- Restaurants and takeaways
- Pot wash sinks
- Under-sink grease traps
- School and care home kitchens
Common problems we fix in The Hangers
Hot water and detergent carry grease further than you’d expect. Once it cools, it sets, often in the trap or the pipe beyond.
Most sites get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Foul odours from the grease trap
- A larger grease trap that needs emptying
- Scheduled grease trap emptying
- An under-sink trap that keeps filling up
A summer deep clean suits schools such as Bishops Waltham Infant School, as the kitchen can be stripped back with no lunches to serve.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether a survey comes first
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- Whether they recommend a next date
- Whether the quote shows VAT
What we do, step by step
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and the same goes into the written report. All told, the work takes a short visit for a small trap and longer for an inline unit or interceptor. Visits to a village like The Hangers are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- First, we locate the grease trap and look at the pipework around it.
- We ask for the sinks that drain into the trap not to be used.
- We take out the layer of fat, oil and grease and any solids.
- The inside, baffles and pipe connections are cleaned.
- The trap is reassembled, checked for leaks and the waste taken away.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Find the previous report, if there is one

Leave it or put it right?
For a kitchen in The Hangers, a regular grease trap clean is a small, planned job. Waiting for a blockage turns it into an urgent problem, often at a busy time. In a small place like The Hangers, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. You will have a fixed price before we start.
