Grease trap cleaning in Warfield

What we’re called out for in Warfield

A full trap can’t hold any more grease. It then builds up in the drains and on towards the sewer, where it can form blockages.

These are the problems we see most often:

  • A bad smell from the sinks or drains
  • A routine grease trap service
  • A grease trap that hasn’t been emptied in a long time
  • Grease setting in the kitchen pipework

Heatherwood Hospital, about 3 miles south-east, is the nearest hospital to Warfield; healthcare kitchens can’t stop cooking, so deep cleans are worked around meal times.

How we handle grease trap cleaning in Warfield

We clean grease traps for kitchens in Warfield, whether it’s an under-sink unit or a larger inline trap. Visits are booked around your service, so the kitchen keeps running. We’re often asked to deal with gurgling from the sink waste and an under-sink unit that needs regular emptying, across school and care home kitchens, inline grease traps and under-sink grease traps.

For a kitchen in or near Warfield, the visit is planned ahead, around opening times and the journey.

A written report with photos follows every visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What staff can safely do

Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.

Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.

FAQs for Warfield

Can you work in Warfield outside opening hours?

Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The site is handed back ready to open. When you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us, mention when the site is quiet.

Will you come out to Warfield?

Yes, Warfield is part of our area, however small the site. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.

Do we need to close while you work?

Not usually. We need the work area to ourselves while we’re on site, so the visit goes in a quiet slot.

What do you do to protect the area?

By covering it before any work starts. The work is kept contained and clean down when we finish.

Can you clear our blocked drains as well?

That depends on the cause. A full trap is a common cause, and cleaning it can help but grease set further down the drains needs jetting by a drainage specialist.

What happens if a grease trap isn’t cleaned?

An overfull trap lets grease into the drains. There it hardens on the pipe walls until they block. Regular cleaning prevents it.

What if parts of the system cannot be reached?

We record them on the report, with photos where possible, and we tell you what would make it reachable, such as extra access panels in ductwork.

Do you recommend a next date?

Yes. We put a recommended next date on the report. BESA’s minimum intervals for kitchen extracts range from 3-monthly for heavy use to 12-monthly for light use, while fire dampers are tested at least annually.

What affects the quote in Warfield

Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:

  • When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
  • The condition of the system
  • Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
  • Any permits to work or inductions

Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.

Asking for a quote

You don’t need the technical terms. Just send:

  • Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
  • The times we could work without disrupting the site
  • Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
  • The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it

Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts.

Between visits

Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:

  • Fit sink strainers to catch food scraps
  • Collect waste cooking oil separately
  • Keep the grease trap on a regular cleaning schedule
  • Do not store things on top of the trap

We’ll suggest when the trap should be cleaned again. That depends on how quickly it filled and how busy the kitchen is.

Grease that gets past the trap sets in the drains. Clearing it then is a bigger job, so it’s far better to keep the trap clean.

Honest limits

Grease trap cleaning cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t put right:

  • A unit that can’t cope with the kitchen’s output
  • Broken pipework below ground
  • A leaking sink waste or trap connection

If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will say what we think.

Where we work

  • Under-sink grease traps
  • Inline grease traps
  • School and care home kitchens
  • Pot wash sinks
  • Kitchen waste pipes
  • Restaurants and takeaways

What happens on the day

We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your pictures. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. From there, it takes less than an hour for many under-sink units. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Warfield.

  1. We start by finding the trap and checking its inlet and outlet.
  2. The sinks feeding the trap are kept out of use while we work.
  3. We take out the layer of fat, oil and grease and any solids.
  4. Every part of the trap is scraped and cleaned, including the baffles.
  5. Once it’s refitted, water is run through to check it drains, and we take the waste with us.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us where we can park and unload
  • Arrange a key holder or contact on site
  • Move anything stored near the system

What the work involves, part by part

Inline grease traps

Several sinks may drain into one inline trap. That means more grease, so regular cleaning matters.

Grease interceptors

A larger unit takes more time to empty and clean and we plan the visit accordingly.
