Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- The condition of the system
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- The times the site is available
What you pay depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.

How we handle grease trap cleaning in Tongham
Every trap is different. Under-sink units are small and fill quickly, while inline traps and interceptors hold more. We assess the trap and how fast it fills before suggesting how often it needs cleaning. The work covers kitchen waste pipes, pot wash sinks and restaurants and takeaways, and the jobs we see most are a bad smell from the sinks or drains and drains clogged with fat.
Work in a smaller place like Tongham is planned around your opening hours, and the journey is planned ahead.
We’ve been trading since 2009, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we are fully insured.

Why deal with it now?
Grease that leaves the kitchen ends up somewhere. It adds to blockages further down the drains and sewer. Keeping it in the trap, and emptying the trap, is the responsible thing to do. A site near Tongham that has to close at short notice is hard to cover for.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.

Common questions in Tongham
Do you work overnight in Tongham?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The work in Tongham can fit around your hours. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Will you come out to Tongham?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
What about areas you cannot get to?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
How much notice do you need?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
Can you give me a price for grease trap cleaning?
Trap size, type, condition and access all affect the price. Tell us about the trap and we will come back with a fixed price.
What do you do with the waste?
The waste leaves with us. Nothing greasy is left on site after the visit.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, any time. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line, and we will advise on what to do next.
Who is the responsible person?
In the words of the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person. That’s generally the employer or the person in control of the premises, and where several people have control, each can have duties. Your lease and fire risk assessment should make it clear.
Commercial kitchens in Tongham
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 14 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 18 takeaways within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Tongham. Fat from washing up sets hard in pipes, and kitchens like these produce plenty of it. Kitchens in Tongham get their food hygiene inspections from Guildford council. The state of floors, drains and hard-to-reach corners all feeds into the inspection. A cleaning log that includes deep cleans and grease trap visits shows the work is planned.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Guildford Hospital about 5.3 miles east, deep cleans and grease trap visits are planned so meals still go out. Historic houses such as Wanborough Manor (about 3.1 miles east) are part of the area around Tongham, and if you run event catering at a venue like that, a deep clean between seasons helps.

Different parts, different methods
Grease interceptors
An interceptor works on the same principle as a smaller trap. Grease floats and solids sink.
Under-sink grease traps
Under-sink units are easy to forget. When they fill, the sink slows and starts to smell.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
The process
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, make the system safe, do the work, clear away and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself takes an hour or so for an under-sink trap, longer for a larger unit. In a smaller place like Tongham, parking is rarely the issue, but tell us about gates, roof access and opening hours.
- A visit is booked around your service.
- We open the trap and look at its condition.
- We remove the grease layer and settled solids.
- The inside, baffles and outlet are cleaned.
- We close it up, check it drains and suggest when it needs cleaning again.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms

Signs you need grease trap cleaning in Tongham
Hot water and detergent carry grease further than you’d expect. Once it cools, it sets, often in the trap or the pipe beyond.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Sinks that drain slowly
- A bad smell from the sinks or drains
- An inline trap or interceptor due for cleaning
- A blocked kitchen drain caused by grease
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as St Paul's CofE Infant School & Nursery or anywhere near Tongham, the holidays are the time for a deep clean or a grease trap clean.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Proof of insurance
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
What staff can safely do
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
