What staff can safely do
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Grease trap cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Brading
In Brading, we time grease trap visits so the sinks aren’t needed. We empty, clean and check the trap, and the waste is taken away. It works on its own or with a deep clean or extract clean. If you are dealing with drains clogged with fat and gurgling drains in the kitchen, we can help.
In rural areas, a kitchen may drain to a private system rather than a public sewer, so keeping fat out with a working grease trap matters even more.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That is why every job is written up in a report with pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Brading: your questions answered
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Brading?
The local authority for Brading is Isle of Wight council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. Photos from a deep clean are a simple record of what was done and when.
Will you come out to Brading?
Yes, Brading is part of our area, however small the site. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, always. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it and the fixed quote is built on it.
How much notice do you need?
Earlier is better, especially for out-of-hours work. We usually quote within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
Do you deal with blocked drains beyond the grease trap?
Cleaning the trap deals with the grease it holds, and can clear the problem where the trap was the cause. Blockages further down the drain, or damaged pipework, need a drainage contractor.
Do you take the waste away?
It’s removed from site when we leave. Your staff do not have to handle it after we have finished.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a single café to a large school. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
Will you tell us when the next visit is due?
Yes. We put a recommended next date on the report. For kitchen extracts, BESA’s minimum intervals run from every 3 months for heavy use to every 12 months for light use, while fire dampers are tested at least annually.
When something else is needed
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Grease set hard in the drain run
- Sewer problems outside the premises
- A unit that can’t cope with the kitchen’s output
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll say what we think.

Why act early in Brading
A full grease trap lets grease through to the drains. It hardens on the pipe walls, until the drain blocks. Regular trap cleaning beats dealing with a blockage. A fault that closes a site in a village like Brading affects everyone who depends on it.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.

There are about 19 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 4 takeaways and sandwich shops within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Brading, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Kitchens like these wash fat, oil and grease down the sink every day, and a grease trap is what stops it reaching the sewer.
