Advice
Grease trap cleaning in Beansheaf Farm
In Beansheaf Farm, we time grease trap visits so the sinks are not needed. We empty, clean and check the trap and remove the waste. It can be booked on its own or alongside other kitchen work. If you’re dealing with an under-sink unit that needs regular emptying and a routine grease trap service, we can put it right, from school and care home kitchens, inline grease traps and under-sink grease traps onwards.
Kitchens around a smaller place like Beansheaf Farm are often in older buildings, with drains and grease traps that have been there for years. Smells and slow drains are the usual warning signs.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Kitchens like these wash fat, oil and grease down the sink every day, and a grease trap is what stops it reaching the sewer.

If you run event catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Mapledurham House is about 3.1 miles north), a deep clean before or after the busy season is worth planning. Battle Hospital, about 2.4 miles north-east, is the nearest hospital to Beansheaf Farm; healthcare kitchens can’t stop cooking, so deep cleans are worked around meal times.

What the work involves, part by part
School, care home and staff kitchens
Care home and hospital kitchens need their drains working all the time. We fit visits around mealtimes.
Baffles and outlets
Baffles inside the trap slow the water so grease can separate. Grease clings to them, so we clean them.
Common questions in Beansheaf Farm
Do you work in school kitchens around Beansheaf Farm out of term?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. Around Beansheaf Farm, the Food Standards Agency lists about 9 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Tell us your holiday dates and we’ll book the visit for when the site is empty.
Which council inspects kitchens in Beansheaf Farm?
Kitchens in Beansheaf Farm are inspected by West Berkshire council’s environmental health officers. Photos from a deep clean are a simple record of what was done and when.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
Anything we cannot reach goes on the report, with pictures where possible, and we explain what access is needed, for example new access panels.
Why does a grease trap need regular cleaning?
Once it’s full, grease passes straight through. It then sets in the drains, causing blockages and smells and can end up adding to sewer blockages.
What’s TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping and expects a risk-based approach.
How long will the sinks be out of use?
As a guide, it takes a short visit for a small trap and longer for an inline unit or interceptor. A large or very full trap takes longer, and we will tell you in advance.
What happens to the waste?
We contain it and take it with us. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on, so it doesn’t spread.
How much notice should we give?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
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.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Honest limits
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- A leaking sink waste or trap connection
- Grease set hard in the drain run
- Blockages in the public sewer beyond the property
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will say what we think.
What we work on in Beansheaf Farm
- Pot wash sinks
- Inline grease traps
- School and care home kitchens
- Restaurants and takeaways
- Under-sink grease traps
- Kitchen waste pipes
Keeping the system healthy
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Keep access to the trap clear
- Use strainers in the sink plugholes
- Never pour used oil down the sink
- Hot water only moves grease further down
Anything we notice beyond the trap, like a slow drain downstream, is pointed out. It may need a drainage specialist to look further.
An overfull trap lets grease pass. Cleaning it before it’s full keeps grease out of the drains and avoids a blockage.
