Why it’s worth doing now in Wells-in-the-Field
Grease that gets past the trap doesn’t disappear. It adds to blockages further down the drains and sewer. A well-maintained trap keeps it where it can be removed. Rural sites can’t always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re not sure what’s needed, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

Grease trap cleaning in Wells-in-the-Field, done properly
Kitchens in Wells-in-the-Field use us for grease trap cleaning, whether it’s an under-sink unit or a larger inline trap. We come when the sinks aren’t needed, so the kitchen keeps running. The work covers under-sink grease traps, restaurants and takeaways and school and care home kitchens, and the jobs we see most are a kitchen drain that smells and a regular cleaning plan for the grease trap.
Work in a small place like Wells-in-the-Field starts with agreeing a date and access, and the deep clean is the same as anywhere: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with photos, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Questions from Wells-in-the-Field
Can school kitchens in Wells-in-the-Field be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. The FSA’s register shows about 4 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Wells-in-the-Field. Tell us your holiday dates and we’ll book the visit for when the site is empty.
Do you cover smaller places like Wells-in-the-Field?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Wells-in-the-Field included. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Do you deal with blocked drains beyond the grease trap?
It depends where the blockage is. 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 types of premises do you cover?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a single café to a large school. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
How much time does a grease trap clean need?
As a guide, it takes a short visit for a small trap and longer for an inline unit or interceptor. A large or very full trap takes longer and we’ll say so when we quote.
Which accreditations do you hold?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
Will I get paperwork for my records?
Yes. Every visit ends with a written report and pictures, 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.
What does a grease trap clean cost?
No two traps are quite the same, so we quote once we know what you have. You get a fixed quote, usually within one working day.

Keeping the system healthy
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Scrape plates and pans into the bin before washing up
- Avoid pouring boiling water down to shift grease
- Use strainers in the sink plugholes
- Tell us when sinks start draining slowly
Once the trap is cleaned and refitted, the sinks can be used straight away. Water is run through to check everything flows before we leave.
Grease that gets past the trap sets in the drains. Once it’s there, it needs a drainage contractor to clear, so it’s far better to keep the trap clean.
What we do, step by step
Everything the job needs comes with us, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. On site, the work takes an hour or so for an under-sink trap, longer for a larger unit. Visits to a village like Wells-in-the-Field are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- 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.
- The inside, baffles and pipe connections are cleaned.
- We put it back together, run water through and remove the waste.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Have your last certificate or report to hand

How we price grease trap cleaning
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- How easy every part is to reach
- How big the system is
- What state the system is in
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.
What to send for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- A few general shots of the system
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
What staff can safely do
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.
Do you need grease trap cleaning in Wells-in-the-Field?

- An interceptor full of grease and solids
- A blocked kitchen drain caused by grease
- A bad smell from the sinks or drains
- An overdue grease trap
