For landlords and multi-site operators
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so each one has its own record.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
Grease trap cleaning in Upper Halliford, done properly
In Upper Halliford, we time grease trap visits so the sinks are not needed. The trap is emptied, cleaned and checked, and the waste is taken away. It works on its own or with a deep clean or extract clean. Common call-outs are for a grease trap that hasn’t been emptied in a long time and sinks that drain slowly, on pot wash sinks, kitchen waste pipes and inline grease traps.
For a kitchen in or near Upper Halliford, the visit is planned ahead, around opening times and the journey.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What affects the quote in Upper Halliford
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- What state the system is in
- How easy every part is to reach
- How many systems or sites are involved
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
Asking for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
To help us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, photos of the system and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
When something else is needed
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what grease trap cleaning won’t do:
- Sewer problems outside the premises
- Collapsed or damaged drains, which need a drainage contractor
- A trap undersized for the amount of cooking
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will say what we think.
What the work covers
- Restaurants and takeaways
- Inline grease traps
- Under-sink grease traps
- School and care home kitchens
- Pot wash sinks
- Kitchen waste pipes
Between visits
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Never pour used oil down the sink
- Let us know if the kitchen gets busier
- Avoid pouring boiling water down to shift grease
- Act on gurgling or smelly drains
The sinks are ready to use as soon as we’ve finished. We run water through to check it drains before we leave.
Slow sinks and a bad smell are early warnings. Acting at this stage normally prevents a blockage later.

Do you cover smaller places like Upper Halliford?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Who inspects food businesses in Upper Halliford?
Kitchens in Upper Halliford are inspected by Spelthorne council’s environmental health officers. Inspection results feed into the food hygiene rating published by the Food Standards Agency.
Which accreditations do you hold?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
Do I get a report after the visit?
Yes, on every job. The report is dated and includes pictures, plus a certificate via the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal for TR19® Grease cleans. Keep it in your maintenance log.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, to suit the system and how it’s used.
What is TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It is not legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. One number covers all your sites across London and the South East, with visits on a regular schedule.
What do you do with what you remove?
It leaves the site with us at the end of the visit. During the work, it’s contained so the area stays clean.
The process
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and it goes on the report too. All told, the work takes a short visit for a small trap and longer for an inline unit or interceptor. Seeing the system in photos first means the trip to Upper Halliford can be planned properly.
- We agree a time when the sinks aren’t needed.
- We open the trap and look at its condition.
- We remove the grease layer and settled solids.
- We clean the baffles, inlet and outlet.
- The trap is closed, tested and the next clean discussed.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Clear the space around the work
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use

Related advice
What your team can do, and what needs us
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.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
What we’re called out for in Upper Halliford
Oil tipped down the drain instead of being collected fills a grease trap far faster than washing-up. Small amounts soon build up.
The symptoms we are asked about most are:
- A grease trap that hasn’t been emptied in a long time
- Sinks that drain slowly
- A routine grease trap service
- A larger grease trap that needs emptying
Hall and church kitchens, near Church of St Mary the Virgin or anywhere around Upper Halliford, are used by many hands, and periodic deep cleans and grease trap visits keep them in order.
