Grease trap cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Willingale
Grease is behind most blocked kitchen drains. Further on, grease can build into fatbergs in the sewer. A grease trap that’s emptied and cleaned regularly holds them back. The work covers pot wash sinks, school and care home kitchens and kitchen waste pipes, and people most often call us about sinks that drain slowly and a blocked kitchen drain caused by grease.
For a kitchen in or near Willingale, the visit is planned ahead, around opening times and the journey.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with pictures after every visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

How we price grease trap cleaning
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Parking and loading at the site
- The times the site is available
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before work begins.
Asking for a quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
To get a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. We usually come back within one working day.
How the job changes from site to site
Inline grease traps
Inline traps are fitted into the drain line. They’re larger than under-sink traps but still fill up.
Restaurant and takeaway kitchens
Visits are booked when the sinks are not in use so you do not lose trade.
Why it’s worth doing now in Willingale
A smelly, overflowing trap attracts pests. A clean trap is less of an attraction, alongside good kitchen hygiene. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.

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.
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
How it works
Your staff don’t need to do much on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and we take it from there. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. The timing of a visit to Willingale is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- A visit is booked around your service.
- The trap is opened up and checked.
- Built-up grease and food waste are taken out.
- The inside, baffles and outlet are cleaned.
- We close it up, check it drains and suggest when it needs cleaning again.
How to prepare
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Clear loose items from the work area

Advice
Willingale questions
Can the work in Willingale be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. It means the site in Willingale keeps running as normal. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Is Willingale within the area you cover?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Willingale included. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Can you clear our blocked drains as well?
Our service covers the grease trap itself. If the drain beyond the trap is blocked or damaged, we’ll tell you so you can call a drainage contractor.
What do you do with what you remove?
We take it away at the end of the visit. During the work, it’s contained to keep the area clean.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and you’ll get one fixed quote.
Which records should we keep?
Each report and certificate we give you, kept together in your maintenance log with your in-house cleaning records. BESA says certificates should show the date, location and technician.
Do you take the waste away?
We remove all the waste we take out. None of it goes back into the drains, of course.
What does TR19 mean?
A BESA specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
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.
