Grease trap cleaning services remove retained fat and settled food solids from commercial kitchen units. We clean the agreed compartments and accessible components. Skimming the visible surface can leave much of the accumulated material behind, so the whole reachable interior needs attention.

Grease layers and internal components
A trap can hold a floating grease layer above liquid and heavier solids below.

The kitchen team agrees when the unit and connected drainage can be taken out of use.
Grease layers and internal components
A trap can hold a floating grease layer above liquid and heavier solids below. Internal baffles or removable baskets direct the flow and need suitable cleaning, and their position matters when the unit is reassembled. Accessible component damage is identified during the clean rather than assumed to be satisfactory.

Cleaning the unit around kitchen operations
The kitchen team agrees when the unit and connected drainage can be taken out of use. Food preparation areas are protected from recovered waste and cleaning equipment, and the contents are removed through an appropriate waste route. Accessible seals and connections are checked during reassembly, with damage identified for separate attention.
Reassembly and maintenance interval
The unit is returned to service in line with its design and manufacturer procedure, including any required clean-water refill. We compare the grease and solids found with the time since the previous clean. Persistent odour or downstream grease may indicate bypassing, installation problems or inadequate capacity that cleaning alone will not correct.
The maintenance interval should follow actual kitchen loading. More covers or a change in food preparation can increase accumulation, while bulk cooking oil and food waste should still use their own collection arrangements rather than the sink.
Grease Trap Cleaning Services: common questions
Is skimming the top enough?
Skimming normally leaves settled solids and other internal deposits behind.
How often should a grease trap be cleaned?
The unit guidance and observed accumulation should determine the interval.
Will cleaning solve an undersized trap?
No. Incorrect capacity or installation needs separate assessment.
Do internal baffles need attention?
Yes. Their condition and correct reinstatement matter to the flow through the unit.
Should waste cooking oil go through the trap?
Bulk oil should use its own appropriate waste collection route.
