Grease trap cleaning in Up Nately
In Up Nately, we time grease trap visits so the sinks are not needed. We empty, clean and check the trap and remove the waste. It can be booked on its own or alongside other kitchen work. If you are dealing with foul odours from the grease trap and a full, neglected grease trap, we can put it right, from under-sink grease traps, inline grease traps and restaurants and takeaways onwards.
Somewhere as small as Up Nately, the kitchens that need a deep clean are normally a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Wherever there is one, it needs its grease trap and hard-to-reach areas kept clean.
The sign-off is always in writing: 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.

When to call us in Up Nately
A full trap cannot hold any more grease. It then builds up in the drains and on towards the sewer, where it can cause blockages.
Clients usually contact us after spotting something like this:
- Sinks that drain slowly
- Foul odours from the grease trap
- Drains clogged with fat
- A grease trap that hasn’t been emptied in a long time
Half-term is a good time for school kitchens, at schools like Robert May's School for instance, to have the grease trap emptied and the kitchen deep cleaned.
Before booking anyone
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- If they look at the system before pricing
- Whether a written report and pictures are included
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach

The work on site takes anything from under an hour to a few hours, depending on the trap, and the area is cleaned down before we leave.

How to prepare

Different parts, different methods
Under-sink grease traps
Small grease traps sit under the sink. They fill quickly, so they need frequent emptying.
Inline grease traps
Inline traps may be under a floor panel or in a cupboard. We ask about access when we quote.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Aftercare tips
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Keep strainers in every sink
- Get food waste into the bin, not the sink
- Avoid pouring boiling water down to shift grease
- Don’t store things on top of the trap
Once the trap is cleaned and refitted, the sinks can be used straight away. We run water through to check it drains before we go.
An overfull trap lets grease pass. Regular emptying keeps it working and saves a call-out for a blocked drain.
