Why it’s worth doing now in Cranbourne
A dirty grease trap smells. Rotting food and grease give off foul odours that can reach the kitchen and beyond. Cleaning it removes the cause. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.

How we handle grease trap cleaning in Cranbourne
A grease trap is the kitchen drain’s first line of protection. When it’s looked after, you hardly know it’s there but left too long, it causes trouble. Routine cleaning keeps it in good working order. The work covers restaurants and takeaways, kitchen waste pipes and under-sink grease traps, and the jobs we see most are grease setting in the kitchen pipework and sinks that drain slowly.
In rural areas, a kitchen may drain to a private system rather than a public sewer, and fat getting past a grease trap can cause real trouble there.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Cranbourne kitchens: local notes
Food Standards Agency records list about 3 restaurants, cafés and works canteens in Cranbourne and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Kitchens like these wash fat, oil and grease down the sink every day, and a grease trap is what stops it reaching the sewer. At about 25 miles from central London, Cranbourne sits well inside the area we cover. Evening, overnight and weekend visits are all possible. Food hygiene inspections in Cranbourne are the job of Bracknell Forest council’s environmental health team. Walls, floors, ceilings and equipment are all part of what they look at. Keeping a record of deep cleans and grease trap visits helps at inspection time.
Hall and church kitchens, near Church of St Peter or anywhere around Cranbourne, are used by many hands, and periodic deep cleans and grease trap visits keep them in order. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Cranbourne Primary School or anywhere near Cranbourne, the holidays are the time for a deep clean or a grease trap clean.

Local landmarks in Cranbourne
Around Cranbourne, our work takes us to kitchens and buildings near The Fleur de Lis pub and Windsor Girls' School and the streets around them. The nearest railway station is Ascot station, roughly 3 miles south of the centre. A little further out are Heatherwood Hospital (2.8 miles south) and Windsor Castle (3.7 miles north-east). Green spaces nearby include Bray Pit and Virginia Water Lake.
Keeping the system healthy
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Don’t wait for a blockage to book a clean
- Let us know if the kitchen gets busier
- Scrape plates and pans into the bin before washing up
- Fit sink strainers to catch food scraps
You will get our view on how often the trap needs cleaning. It’s based on how full it was and how busy the kitchen is.
More cooking means more grease in the trap. Booking cleans more often stops it overflowing.
Cranbourne: your questions answered
Can the work in Cranbourne be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. Your customers, staff or residents in Cranbourne needn’t be disturbed. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Which environmental health team covers Cranbourne?
That’s Bracknell Forest council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Cranbourne. Inspection results feed into the food hygiene rating published by the Food Standards Agency.
What’s TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
How do you protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. The work is kept contained and leave the area clean.
What do you do with what you remove?
We contain it and take it with us. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on rather than letting it spread.
Do you clean under-sink and inline grease traps?
Under-sink units, inline traps and interceptors are all covered. Let us know what’s fitted and we will plan around it.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured, and we can share the details when you need them.
Can you clear our blocked drains as well?
We clean the trap, not the drain network. If the drain beyond the trap is blocked or damaged, we’ll tell you and suggest a drainage contractor.
When it’s something else
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- Drains that are cracked or have collapsed
- A leaking sink waste or trap connection
- A grease trap that’s too small for the kitchen
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly.
Parts of the system we cover
- School and care home kitchens

What staff can safely do
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
How we price grease trap cleaning
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- What state the system is in
- How easy every part is to reach
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we will price it together.
Helping us quote
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Any previous report or certificate
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.
When to call us in Cranbourne
The more a kitchen cooks and washes up, the quicker the trap fills. A trap that suited a quieter kitchen can struggle when cooking increases.
The symptoms we’re asked about most include:
- A regular cleaning plan for the grease trap
- Gurgling from the sink waste
- An interceptor full of grease and solids
- Washing-up water that won’t drain away
Heatherwood Hospital, about 2.8 miles south, is the nearest hospital to Cranbourne; healthcare kitchens cannot stop cooking, so deep cleans are worked around meal times.
What your quote should include
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- Whether a survey comes first
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
How the visit works
The visit has three parts: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, and the sign-off is a written report with photos. The middle part takes longest, and that takes an hour or so for an under-sink trap, longer for a larger unit. For a village or hamlet like Cranbourne, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- We find the trap and check how it’s connected.
- We ask for the sinks that drain into the trap not to be used.
- Built-up fat, oil and grease is removed from the trap.
- The inside, baffles and pipe connections are cleaned.
- Once it’s refitted, water is run through to check it drains, and we take the waste with us.
How to prepare
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Clear loose items from the work area
Getting a quote
Getting a quote does not take long. Send a few details and pictures, and we typically reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
