Part by part
School, care home and staff kitchens
Care home and hospital kitchens need their drains working all the time. Visits are planned between meals.
Baffles and outlets
Baffles inside the trap slow the water so grease can separate. They gather grease and debris, so we clean them.
About our grease trap cleaning in The Warren
Think of the grease trap as a filter for the kitchen’s drains. Kept clean, it does its job quietly but left too long, it causes trouble. A regular clean keeps it healthy. The work covers restaurants and takeaways, school and care home kitchens and kitchen waste pipes, and the jobs we see most are drains clogged with fat and a routine grease trap service.
Around a place like The Warren, deep clean work tends to mean pubs, cafés and school or care home kitchens. Smaller kitchens still collect grease behind equipment and in the drains.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That’s why every job is written up in a report with pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Managing agents and facilities teams in The Warren
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
Aftercare tips
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Tell us if your menu or hours change
- Do not wait for a blockage to book a clean
- Collect waste cooking oil separately
- Do not store things on top of the trap
The waste we remove leaves with us. Nothing is left for you to dispose of when we’re done.
An overfull trap lets grease pass. Cleaning it before it’s full keeps grease out of the drains and avoids a blockage.
What a clean won’t put right
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Collapsed or damaged drains, which need a drainage contractor
- A leaking sink waste or trap connection
- A unit that cannot cope with the kitchen’s output
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Parts of the system we cover
- Inline grease traps
- Under-sink grease traps
- Kitchen waste pipes
- Pot wash sinks
- Restaurants and takeaways
- School and care home kitchens
What staff can safely do
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. That’s our job.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Fixed quotes for grease trap cleaning in The Warren
You’ll get a fixed price before we start. It’s based on:
- Whether several sites go on one quote

What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why we survey first, from photos or on site, and the price is agreed before any work starts.

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

How the visit works
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes an hour or two in most kitchens, depending on the size and condition of the trap. Evenings, weekends or a closed day all work for a site in a place like The Warren.
- We agree a time when the sinks are not needed.
- We open the trap and look at its condition.
- We remove the grease layer and settled solids.
- We clean the baffles, inlet and outlet.
- The trap is closed, tested and the next clean discussed.
How to prepare
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Clear loose items from the work area

Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.

Questions from The Warren
Is The Warren within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Do you clean school kitchens in The Warren in the summer holidays?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. The FSA’s register shows about 8 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of The Warren. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, either from pictures and details you send or on a site visit. Then you get a fixed quote.
Can you give me a price for grease trap cleaning?
It depends on the type and size of the trap, its condition and access. Tell us about the trap and we’ll come back with a fixed price.
What does TR19 mean?
A BESA specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It is not legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
How much notice should we give?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
What types of grease trap do you clean?
Under-sink and inline grease traps, and larger interceptors. Each one is emptied, cleaned and checked whatever the size.
What do you do with the waste?
We take the grease and solids away with us. Nothing greasy is left on site after the visit.
What grease trap cleaning looks like in The Warren
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 15 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 12 takeaways and sandwich shops in and around The Warren, up to about a mile and a half out. Wherever they wash pans and plates, fat heads for the drain unless a trap catches it. Food hygiene inspections in The Warren are the job of Bracknell Forest council’s environmental health team. The state of floors, drains and hard-to-reach corners all feeds into the inspection. A cleaning log that includes deep cleans and grease trap visits shows the work is planned.
School kitchens, at schools like Harmans Water Primary School for example, normally have their deep cleans and grease trap work done while the canteen is closed. If you look after a hall kitchen near St Paul or anywhere in The Warren, a deep clean between busy seasons is easier than a scramble before a big event. If you run a kitchen near Martins Heron station with long trading hours, grease builds up faster behind equipment and in the trap.
