For landlords and multi-site operators
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Grease trap cleaning in Upper Wield, done properly
In Upper Wield, we time grease trap visits so the sinks are not needed. We empty, clean and check the trap and remove the waste. It works on its own or with a deep clean or extract clean. Common call-outs are for drains clogged with fat and a small trap that fills too quickly, across kitchen waste pipes, restaurants and takeaways and school and care home kitchens.
Somewhere as small as Upper Wield, the kitchens that need a deep clean are typically a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still needs the occasional deep clean and its grease trap kept clear.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That’s why every job is written up in a report with pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What else we do in Upper Wield
How the visit works
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Upper Wield, let us know and we’ll plan around it.
- We agree a time when the sinks aren’t needed.
- The trap is opened up and checked.
- Built-up grease and food waste are taken out.
- The inside, baffles and outlet are cleaned.
- We close it up, check it drains and suggest when it needs cleaning again.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear loose items from the work area
- 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
How to get a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: 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 many jobs can be priced from that alone.

Why deal with it now?
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. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Upper Wield rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.
Why us?
- Work around your opening hours, with 24/7 emergency cover
- A fixed price before any work starts
- A single point of contact for sites across the South East and London
- We are fully insured
What affects the quote in Upper Wield
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- The condition we find in the survey
- The size of the system
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.
Helping us quote
A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Any previous report or certificate
- The site address and the type of premises
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
To get a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. You will typically have a quote within one working day.
Upper Wield kitchens: local notes
In Upper Wield, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from East Hampshire council. Grease behind equipment or on a ceiling is the kind of thing an inspection can note. A record of each deep clean helps show the kitchen is kept in order. About 50 miles out from central London, Upper Wield is part of the South East area we work across. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours.
If you run a kitchen in an older building near Upper Wield, such as a historic house like Hall Place (about 2.2 miles east), older drains make a working grease trap all the more important. Hall and church kitchens, near Church of St James or anywhere around Upper Wield, are used by many hands, and periodic deep cleans and grease trap visits keep them in order.

How the job changes from site to site
School, care home and staff kitchens
Care home and hospital kitchens need their drains working all the time. Visits are planned between meals.
Under-sink grease traps
Under-sink units are easy to forget. A full one shows itself with a slow, smelly sink.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Report slow or smelly sinks early
- Book trap cleans at a set interval
- Don’t store things on top of the trap
- Get food waste into the bin, not the sink
Scrape plates into the bin before washing up. Use strainers in the sink plugholes before they reach the trap.
If the kitchen has got busier, the trap fills faster. Shortening the cleaning interval now stops it overflowing.
Your questions about grease trap cleaning in Upper Wield
Will you come out to Upper Wield?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Upper Wield included. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Can you work in Upper Wield outside opening hours?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The work in Upper Wield can fit around your hours. When you ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, mention when the site is quiet.
Are you accredited?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We have been trading since 2009 and we’re fully insured.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site in our area, with visits on a regular schedule.
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 busy kitchens fill them faster still. We’ll suggest an interval after the first clean.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. The law sets the duty; TR19® is the benchmark used to show it’s met. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and many insurers can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of cleaning.
What should go in our maintenance log?
Everything that shows the system is looked after: our reports and pictures, any certificates and your in-house logs. A single log for each site works best.
Signs you need grease trap cleaning in Upper Wield
A full trap can’t hold any more grease. It goes on into the drain and the sewer beyond, where it can form blockages.
The symptoms we’re asked about most are:
- Foul odours from the grease trap
- Drains clogged with fat
- Drains that gurgle and bubble
- A regular cleaning plan for the grease trap
Alton Community Hospital, about 4.8 miles east, is the nearest hospital to Upper Wield; healthcare kitchens can’t stop cooking, so deep cleans are worked around meal times.
