How we price grease trap cleaning
Every site gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- The scale of the work
- The times the site is available
- Where the site is and how we reach it
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. You will have a fixed price before work begins.
What we need to know
There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- A few general shots of the system
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, a few photos and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
How we handle grease trap cleaning in Wildridings
Grease trap cleaning keeps the drains running and the smells away. The fat, oil, grease and solids are taken out and the chambers and baffles cleaned and the trap checked before we leave. The work covers restaurants and takeaways, inline grease traps and kitchen waste pipes, and people most often call us about scheduled grease trap emptying and foul odours from the grease trap.
In a place like Wildridings, kitchens often sit in older buildings with older drains. A blocked drain or a smelly grease trap is normally the first sign.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with photos after every visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Different parts, different methods
School, care home and staff kitchens
Kitchens that serve set mealtimes fill their traps more steadily. Planned cleaning fits their routine.
Restaurant and takeaway kitchens
Busy kitchens can’t afford a blocked drain. Keeping the trap clean reduces the risk.
When to call us in Wildridings
Hot water and detergent carry grease further than you’d expect. When it cools, the grease hardens in the pipework or the drain.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- A blocked kitchen drain caused by grease
- A full, neglected grease trap
- An under-sink trap that keeps filling up
- Drains that gurgle and bubble
If you look after a hall kitchen near St Michael and St Mary Magdalene's Church or anywhere in Wildridings, a deep clean between busy seasons is easier than a scramble before a big event.

Wherever food is prepared there, a periodic deep clean and a clear grease trap keep things in order.

What grease trap cleaning cannot fix

- Blockages further down the drainage network
- A unit that can’t cope with the kitchen’s output

Wildridings: your questions answered
Can you come to Wildridings after we close?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The work in Wildridings can fit around your hours. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Wildridings?
That is Bracknell Forest council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Wildridings. Inspection results feed into the food hygiene rating published by the Food Standards Agency.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not typically. The area we are working in has to be out of use while we are there, so the visit goes in a quiet slot.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
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 without records, many insurers may refuse or reduce a claim.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
The law calls them the responsible person. That is generally the employer or the person in control of the premises, and where several people have control, each can have duties. Your lease and fire risk assessment should make it clear.
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. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
How regularly does a grease trap need emptying?
The right interval depends on your trap and your cooking. If the sinks start to drain slowly between cleans, it’s too long, and we can shorten it.
What staff can safely do
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that is where we come in.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
How the visit works
We’re used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so the site can open as normal afterwards. On site, the work takes an hour or so for an under-sink trap, longer for a larger unit. Everything the job in Wildridings needs is worked out beforehand, from the survey.
- We find the trap and check how it’s connected.
- The sinks feeding the trap are kept out of use while we work.
- The trap is emptied of grease and food waste.
- Every part of the trap is scraped and cleaned, including the baffles.
- The trap is reassembled, checked for leaks and the waste taken away.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
