How the visit works
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. Somewhere as small as Bishop's Green, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- First, we find the trap and look at its connections.
- Sinks feeding the trap are taken out of use.
- We empty out the fat, oil, grease and solids.
- The chambers and baffles are cleaned.
- The trap is refitted, tested with water and the waste taken away.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
Get a fixed quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

Your questions about grease trap cleaning in Bishop's Green
Do you work in school kitchens around Bishop's Green out of term?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. Food Standards Agency records list about 2 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Bishop's Green. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Can you work in Bishop's Green outside opening hours?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. It means the site in Bishop's Green keeps running as normal. Just ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. The law sets the duty; TR19® is the benchmark used to show it’s met. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person has to manage fire risk, and many insurers can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of cleaning.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we will propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
Are you accredited?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
How much notice do you need?
For planned work, earlier is better, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, 24/7. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, and the emergency line covers the rest.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
The Fire Safety Order 2005 calls them the responsible person: often the employer, owner or occupier. Landlords, facilities managers and managing agents can also hold responsibility.

Aftercare tips
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep the grease trap on a regular cleaning schedule
- Tell us if your menu or hours change
- Tell us when sinks start draining slowly
- Use strainers in the sink plugholes
We’ll suggest when the trap should be cleaned again. That depends on how quickly it filled and how busy the kitchen is.
Slow sinks and a bad smell are early warnings. Getting it cleaned now can stop a full blockage later.
Why deal with it now?
Wherever the kitchen is in Bishop's Green, backed-up drains stop it working. Sinks won’t empty, and dirty water can back up. Cleaning the grease trap on time helps prevent it. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before any work starts.

What grease trap cleaning looks like in Bishop's Green

Having the dates of the last deep clean to hand saves digging for them on the day. We cover Bishop's Green, about 52 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East.

Common problems we fix in Bishop's Green
If a trap is not emptied, grease passes straight through. It goes on into the drain and on towards the sewer, where it can cause blockages.
Most sites get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Foul odours from the grease trap
- Washing-up water that will not drain away
- An inline trap or interceptor due for cleaning
- A small trap that fills too quickly
West Berkshire Community Hospital, about 2.9 miles north, is the nearest hospital to Bishop's Green; healthcare kitchens can’t stop cooking, so deep cleans are worked around meal times.

Different parts, different methods
Inline grease traps
An inline trap sits in the pipework between the kitchen and the drain. They hold more than under-sink units but still fill up.
Grease interceptors
An interceptor works on the same principle as a smaller trap. Cooling water lets grease rise and solids settle.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Bishop's Green
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We’re happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
