- A bad smell from the sinks or drains
- An overdue grease trap
- An under-sink unit that needs regular emptying
Looking after it afterwards
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Don’t store things on top of the trap
- Do not rely on hot water to clear grease
- Book trap cleans at a set interval
- Never pour used oil down the sink
Keep used oil out of the drains and the trap won’t fill as quickly. It’s the single easiest way to help.
A trap that is left too long stops catching grease. Cleaning it before it’s full keeps grease out of the drains and saves a call-out for a blocked drain.
Grease trap cleaning in Upper Burgate
Once a trap is full, grease passes straight through. Further down the pipe, the grease cools and hardens, leading to slow drains, blockages and smells. A trap that’s cleaned regularly keeps grease where it belongs. If you’re dealing with washing-up water that won’t drain away and a grease trap that hasn’t been emptied in a long time, we can help.
For a kitchen in or near Upper Burgate, the visit is planned ahead, around opening times and the journey, and the deep clean is the same as anywhere: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That is why every job is written up in a report with photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

When to call us in Upper Burgate
Oil tipped down the drain instead of being collected fills a grease trap far faster than washing-up. Small amounts soon build up.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- An overdue grease trap
- A slow-draining kitchen sink
- Gurgling drains in the kitchen
- A kitchen drain that smells
School kitchens, at schools like The Burgate School and Sixth Form for example, typically have their deep cleans and grease trap work done while the canteen is closed.

What affects the cost of grease trap cleaning
Your quote is based on your site. We take into account:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- How big the system is
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
What you pay depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.
Helping us quote
A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Any previous report or certificate
- Problems your staff have spotted
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you will typically have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
What the work involves, part by part
Baffles and outlets
The outlet carries the separated water on to the drain. A blocked outlet stops the trap working.
Inline grease traps
Inline traps often take waste from several sinks or appliances. That means more grease, so regular cleaning matters.
What happens on the day
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. The visit takes an hour or two in most kitchens, depending on the size and condition of the trap. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Upper Burgate before we set off.
- First, we find the trap and look at its connections.
- Sinks feeding the trap are taken out of use.
- Grease and solids are removed from the trap.
- We clean every part of the inside.
- We refit it, run water through and remove the waste.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Clear the space around the work
- Let us know about parking and loading
How to get a quote

Common questions in Upper Burgate
Do you work overnight in Upper Burgate?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. Your customers, staff or residents in Upper Burgate needn’t be disturbed. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Will you come out to Upper Burgate?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Upper Burgate included. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Do you recommend a next date?
Yes. The report recommends when the next visit should be, based on what we found and how the system is used.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before any work starts, and anything we remove is contained. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. Work is timed around how each site runs.
What about areas you can’t get to?
They’re marked on the report. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, and we can fit those.
Where does the grease from the trap go?
We take the grease and solids away with us. Nothing greasy is left on site when we go.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. We always survey first, from your pictures and details, or with a visit where needed. A fixed quote follows.

What staff can safely do
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: 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, which 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.
Honest limits
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Leaking pipework or sink wastes, which need a plumber
- Grease set hard in the drain run
- Collapsed or damaged drains, which need a drainage contractor
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
