- A small trap that fills too quickly
- An interceptor full of grease and solids
- A regular cleaning plan for the grease trap
Different parts, different methods
School, care home and staff kitchens
Drains in care settings need to keep flowing. We fit visits around mealtimes.
Grease interceptors
Bigger kitchens may have a larger grease interceptor. They hold more grease and solids but they still need cleaning.
Grease trap cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Beenham
Grease trap cleaning keeps the drains running and the smells away. We empty the built-up grease and food solids, clean the inside and the baffles, and check the trap is working properly. Typical jobs include a bad smell from the sinks or drains and washing-up water that won’t drain away, on under-sink grease traps, pot wash sinks and school and care home kitchens.
Somewhere as small as Beenham, the kitchens that need a deep clean are typically a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Wherever there is one, it needs its grease trap and hard-to-reach areas kept clean.
We have been trading since 2009, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.

Aftercare tips
So the system stays in good health:
- Wipe grease off pans before washing them
- Never pour used oil down the sink
- Tell us if your menu or hours change
- Fit sink strainers to catch food scraps
You will get our view on how often the trap needs cleaning. That depends on how quickly it filled and how busy the kitchen is.
A trap that’s left too long stops catching grease. Cleaning it before it’s full keeps grease out of the drains and avoids a blockage.
How the visit works
The visit has three parts: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, while signing off means the written report and photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, and that takes an hour or so for an under-sink trap, longer for a larger unit. The timing of a visit to Beenham is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- We agree a time when the sinks aren’t needed.
- We open the trap and look at its condition.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive

Common problems we fix in Beenham
A busy kitchen in Beenham, or anywhere else, fills its grease trap faster. A trap that suited a quieter kitchen can fill very quickly when trade picks up.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- A small trap that fills too quickly
- Grease setting in the kitchen pipework
- Sinks that drain slowly
- A bad smell from the sinks or drains
Hall kitchens near Church of St Mary or elsewhere in Beenham may have older sinks and drains, so a grease trap check is worth adding to a deep clean.

What grease trap cleaning looks like in Beenham
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 4 pubs, bars and clubs within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Beenham. Pub and hotel kitchens get the same build-up behind equipment and in the grease trap as any other. Beenham, about 46 miles from central London, is within our usual area. Evening, overnight and weekend visits are all possible. It’s West Berkshire council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Beenham. They look at the cleanliness of the whole kitchen: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment. Having the dates of the last deep clean to hand saves digging for them on the day.
School kitchens, at schools like Beenham Primary School for example, normally have their deep cleans and grease trap work done while the canteen is closed.

What staff can safely do
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between 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.
Beenham: your questions answered
Is Beenham within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can the work in Beenham be done at night or at weekends?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. Your customers, staff or residents in Beenham needn’t be disturbed. Let us know the hours you are closed and we will book within them.
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 will tell you so you can call a drainage contractor.
What accreditations do you have?
Our accreditations are 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.
What types of grease trap do you clean?
We clean under-sink traps, inline traps and interceptors. Tell us what you have and we will plan around it.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
Anything we can’t reach goes on the report, with photos where possible, and we tell you what would make it reachable, for example new access panels.
What does TR19 mean?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked, and it takes a risk-based approach.
Will I get paperwork for my records?
Yes, always. It’s a dated, written report with pictures, and TR19® Grease cleans come with a certificate through the BESCA VHE portal. File it with your fire safety records.
