Why it’s worth doing now in Teasley Mead
Smells from a neglected trap are hard to ignore. Decomposing waste in the trap smells bad and the smell carries. A clean trap takes the source away. In a small place like Teasley Mead, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.

Grease trap cleaning in Teasley Mead
For kitchens across Teasley Mead, grease trap cleaning fits easily around service. We empty, clean and check the trap and remove the waste. It works on its own or with a deep clean or extract clean. If you have a regular cleaning plan for the grease trap and an interceptor full of grease and solids, we can help.
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.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

Teasley Mead: your questions answered
Can you come to Teasley Mead after we close?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The site is handed back ready to open. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we’ll book within them.
Will you come out to Teasley Mead?
Yes, Teasley Mead is part of our area, however small the site. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for anything that cannot wait until a planned visit. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
How often should a grease trap be cleaned?
That depends on the trap and the kitchen. A small trap fills more quickly than a large one and the busier the kitchen, the faster it fills. We’ll suggest an interval after the first clean.
Do you clean under-sink and inline grease traps?
We cover under-sink, inline and interceptor units. They’re emptied, cleaned and checked in the same careful way.
Do you take the waste away?
The waste leaves with us. Nothing greasy is left on site after the visit.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, to suit the system and how it’s used.

Looking after it afterwards
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Avoid pouring boiling water down to shift grease
- Fit sink strainers to catch food scraps
- Never pour used oil down the sink
- Keep access to the trap clear
If we spot problems beyond the trap, such as a drain that still runs slowly, we will tell you. It may need a drainage specialist to look further.
More cooking means more grease in the trap. Booking cleans more often keeps the drains flowing.
Different parts, different methods
Grease interceptors
A larger unit takes more time to empty and clean and we plan the visit accordingly.
Under-sink grease traps
Under-sink traps are compact units fitted below the kitchen sink. Their small size means they fill fast and need regular cleaning.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Teasley Mead
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.
How the visit works
Each visit runs to the same pattern: protect the area, isolate whatever needs isolating, do the work, tidy up and leave you the report. The visit itself takes an hour or so for an under-sink trap, longer for a larger unit. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Teasley Mead.
- We start by finding the trap and checking its inlet and outlet.
- We ask for the sinks that drain into the trap not to be used.
- The trap is emptied of grease and food waste.
- Every part of the trap is scraped and cleaned, including the baffles.
- We put it back together, run water through and remove the waste.
How to prepare
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Move anything stored near the system
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
Getting a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price, before work begins.

- The number of sites or systems
- How easy every part is to reach
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.

- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
