Grease trap cleaning in Stoke Charity
A clean trap means flowing drains and no foul smells. We empty the built-up grease and food solids, clean the inside and the baffles, and check the trap is working properly. The work covers school and care home kitchens, inline grease traps and pot wash sinks, and common reasons people get in touch are a bad smell from the sinks or drains and an under-sink unit that needs regular emptying.
Somewhere as small as Stoke Charity, the kitchens that need a deep clean are usually a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Wherever there is one, it needs its grease trap and hard-to-reach areas kept clean.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Different parts, different methods
Restaurant and takeaway kitchens
Visits are booked when the sinks aren’t in use so the kitchen is not disrupted.
Baffles and outlets
We check the inlet, outlet and baffles at each clean so water flows freely.
What we do, step by step
We are used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so the site can open as normal afterwards. The visit itself takes a short visit for a small trap and longer for an inline unit or interceptor. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Stoke Charity, let us know and we’ll plan around it.
- We locate the trap and check how it’s fitted.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Move anything stored near the system
- Have your last certificate or report to hand

What affects the cost of grease trap cleaning
Every site gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before work begins.
What to send for a quote
Many jobs can be priced from pictures and some basics. Useful things to send:
- A few general shots of the system
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. 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 any work starts.
Why it’s worth doing now in Stoke Charity
Some kitchens try to fix slow drains with hot water or drain cleaners. It just shifts the grease further along, where it sets again. Emptying and cleaning the trap deals with the source. A fault that closes a site in a village like Stoke Charity affects everyone who depends on it.

Common questions in Stoke Charity
Will you come out to Stoke Charity?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Stoke Charity is covered. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Can the work in Stoke Charity be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. That way a site in Stoke Charity doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Let us know the hours you are closed and we’ll book within them.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. We always survey first, either from pictures and details you send or on a site visit. Then you get a fixed quote.
What do you do to protect the area?
We start with protection: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
Not in itself. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19® as the benchmark, and many insurers ask for proof of cleaning to it. The law behind it is the Fire Safety Order 2005, which applies in England and Wales.
What’s TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It isn’t legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for anything that cannot wait until a planned visit. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
Do you provide a certificate or report?
Yes. Each visit ends with a written report and photos, showing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Kitchen extract cleans to TR19® Grease also get a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Keeping the system healthy
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- Keep strainers in every sink
- Make sure the trap can be reached easily
- Tell us if your menu or hours change
- Don’t wait for a blockage to book a clean
You’ll get our view on how often the trap needs cleaning. That depends on how quickly it filled and how busy the kitchen is.
More cooking means more grease in the trap. Booking cleans more often keeps the drains flowing.
