How we price grease trap cleaning
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- The times the site is available
- The number of sites or systems
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
We don’t list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we will talk you through it.
Asking for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, photos of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, call 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Multi-site and managed buildings
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.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We are happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
How the visit works
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, make the system safe, do the work, tidy up and leave you the report. On site, the work takes a short visit for a small trap and longer for an inline unit or interceptor. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Vernham Dean 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 refit it, run water through and remove the waste.
Getting ready for the visit

Do you need grease trap cleaning in Vernham Dean?
For a kitchen in Vernham Dean or anywhere else, the trap is out of sight and out of mind. Hidden under a sink or in a floor, it’s often ignored until something goes wrong.

- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach

Looking after it afterwards
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Tell us when sinks start draining slowly
- Let us know if the kitchen gets busier
- Keep the grease trap on a regular cleaning schedule
- Keep strainers in every sink
Keep used oil out of the drains and the trap will not fill as quickly. It makes a real difference.
Setting regular cleans takes the guesswork out. We agree the timing with you.
