Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
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.
What we do, step by step
We turn up at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool first, and the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes an hour or so for an under-sink trap, longer for a larger unit. The timing of a visit to Brimpton Common is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- A visit is booked around your service.
- We open the trap and look at its condition.
- We remove the grease layer and settled solids.
- We clean the baffles, inlet and outlet.
- We close it up, check it drains and suggest when it needs cleaning again.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
How to get a quote
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, pictures of the system and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
Advice
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. That’s our job.
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Common questions in Brimpton Common
Can school kitchens in Brimpton Common be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. The FSA’s register shows about 6 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Brimpton Common. Send us your term dates when you call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us, and we’ll fit the work in.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Brimpton Common?
The local authority for Brimpton Common is West Berkshire council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. Inspection results feed into the food hygiene rating published by the Food Standards Agency.
Which accreditations do you hold?
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.
How far ahead should we book?
Earlier is better, especially for out-of-hours work. Quotes typically come back within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
Do you take the waste away?
We take the grease and solids away with us. Nothing greasy is left on site after the visit.
How much does grease trap cleaning cost?
Every trap is different, so we price each one individually. We give you a fixed price, normally within one working day.
Where does the waste go?
It leaves the site with us when we go. While we work, it’s kept contained so the area stays clean.
Do we need to stop using the sinks while you work?
The sinks that drain into the trap cannot be used while it’s open. We book the visit around your service so the kitchen isn’t held up.
Leave it or put it right?
For a kitchen in Brimpton Common, a regular grease trap clean is a small, planned job. A blocked drain is an emergency, often at a busy time. Planning a trip to Brimpton Common ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.

Do you need grease trap cleaning in Brimpton Common?
Hot washing-up water keeps grease liquid for a while. When it cools, the grease hardens, often in the trap or the pipe beyond.
Look out for these warning signs:
- A larger grease trap that needs emptying
- A small trap that fills too quickly
- A bad smell from the sinks or drains
- Grease setting in the kitchen pipework
For schools such as The Hurst School, deep cleans and grease trap work are usually booked for the holidays.

- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The number of sites or systems
- The scale of the work
- Parking and loading at the site
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
Asking for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Useful things to send:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Any previous report or certificate
- A few general shots of the system
