How we price grease trap cleaning
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- The condition we find in the survey
- The scale of the work
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before we start.
What we need to know
We can often survey from photos. Try to include:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

Common questions in Throwley Forstal
Is Throwley Forstal within the area you cover?

Can you come to Throwley Forstal after we close?

Who is the responsible person?
It depends on the building. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person, which can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, an FM or a managing agent.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
They’re marked on the report. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, and we can fit those.
Which sectors do you work in?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, as well as food production and leisure sites.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, we’re fully insured. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor for clients who vet their contractors.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. The work is kept contained and clean down when we finish.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that is where we come in.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.

The process
Each visit runs to the same pattern: protect the area, isolate whatever needs isolating, do the work, tidy up and leave you the report. On site, the work takes an hour or two in most kitchens, depending on the size and condition of the trap. Somewhere like Throwley Forstal, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- We locate the trap and check how it’s fitted.
- Sinks feeding the trap are taken out of use.
- Grease and solids are removed from the trap.
- We clean every part of the inside.
- The trap is refitted, tested with water and the waste taken away.
Before we arrive
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use

Waste cooking oil poured down the sink fills a grease trap far faster than washing-up. Even small amounts add up.

- Foul odours from the grease trap
- A slow-draining kitchen sink
- Drains that gurgle and bubble
- An inline trap or interceptor due for cleaning
If you cater for weddings or events at a historic house in the area (Belmont House and Gardens is about 1.1 miles north), deep cleans can be fitted between bookings.

What a clean will not put right
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so these are the things it will not cover:
- Plumbing leaks around the sink
- A unit that can’t cope with the kitchen’s output
- Collapsed or damaged drains, which need a drainage contractor
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think.
Where we work

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
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 each one has its own record.
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Between visits
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Scrape plates and pans into the bin before washing up
- Mention any increase in cooking
- Report slow or smelly sinks early
- Do not store things on top of the trap
The sinks are ready to use as soon as we have finished. Water is run through to check everything flows before we leave.
A fixed cleaning interval means the trap never gets overfull. We agree the timing with you.
