Grease trap cleaning around Moss End
There are about 4 restaurants, cafés and works canteens within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Moss End, 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. Environmental health officers from Bracknell Forest council inspect food businesses in Moss End. Walls, floors, ceilings and equipment are all part of what they look at. A record of each deep clean helps show the kitchen is kept in order. About 28 miles out from central London, Moss End is part of the South East area we work across. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Heatherwood Hospital (about 3.7 miles south-east), cook for long hours, so deep cleans and grease trap work are planned around patients’ meals. St Leonard's Hill, about 4.5 miles east, is one of the historic houses around Moss End; event kitchens at places like that work in bursts, so a deep clean after a busy season helps. For schools such as Garth Hill College, deep cleans and grease trap work are typically booked for the holidays.

Grease trap cleaning in Moss End, done properly
Grease is behind most blocked kitchen drains. Further on, grease can build into fatbergs in the sewer. A grease trap that is emptied and cleaned regularly keeps them out of the drains. If you have a kitchen drain that smells and a grease trap that hasn’t been emptied in a long time, we can put it right.
Rural kitchens may drain to a septic tank or a private drain rather than straight into a public sewer, so keeping fat out with a working grease trap matters even more.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

How we price grease trap cleaning
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The number of sites or systems
We do not list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we will talk you through it.
Helping us quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We typically come back within one working day.
The process
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes less than an hour for many under-sink units, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Moss End run smoothly.
- We find the trap and check how it’s connected.
- We ask for the sinks that drain into the trap not to be used.
- The trap is emptied of grease and food waste.
- 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
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Move anything stored near the system
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
Getting a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

When something else is needed
Grease trap cleaning can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It doesn’t solve:
- Drains that need jetting rather than trap cleaning
- Plumbing leaks around the sink
- Drains that are cracked or have collapsed
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.
Where we work
- Kitchen waste pipes
- Inline grease traps
- School and care home kitchens
- Pot wash sinks
- Under-sink grease traps
- Restaurants and takeaways
Aftercare tips
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Let us know if the kitchen gets busier
- Do not wait for a blockage to book a clean
- Keep strainers in every sink
- Scrape plates and pans into the bin before washing up
The waste we remove leaves with us. Nothing is left for you to dispose of after the visit.
Slow sinks and a bad smell are early warnings. Acting at this stage usually prevents a blockage down the line.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
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.
How the job changes from site to site
School, care home and staff kitchens
Kitchens that serve set mealtimes fill their traps more steadily. A regular interval suits them well.
Inline grease traps
Inline traps may be under a floor panel or in a cupboard. We check how to reach it before the visit.
Questions from Moss End
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Moss End?
Kitchens in Moss End are inspected by Bracknell Forest council’s environmental health officers. An officer may look behind equipment and at drains, so it pays to have the deep clean booked before those areas build up.
Can the work in Moss End be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Moss End needn’t be disturbed. When you ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, mention when the site is quiet.
How long will the sinks be out of use?
As a guide, it takes anything from under an hour to a few hours, depending on the trap. Bigger or overdue traps need more time and we’ll say so when we quote.
What paperwork should we keep on file?
Each report and certificate we give you, kept together in your maintenance log, along with your own cleaning log. BESA says certificates should show the date, location and technician.
How much notice do you need?
Book as early as you can for planned work, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
Can you give me a price for grease trap cleaning?
No two traps are quite the same, so we quote once we know what you have. You get a fixed quote, usually within one working day.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. The law sets the duty, and TR19® is the recognised benchmark for meeting it. 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.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line, and we’ll advise on what to do next.
What happens if it’s left?
Some kitchens try to fix slow drains with hot water or drain cleaners. That only moves the grease further down the pipe to set somewhere harder to reach. Emptying and cleaning the trap deals with the source. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before any work starts.
