School, care home and staff kitchens
School kitchens can be cleaned in the holidays or between meal services.
Grease trap cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Wokefield
In Wokefield, we time grease trap visits so the sinks are not needed. The trap is emptied, cleaned and checked, and the waste is taken away. It can be booked on its own or alongside other kitchen work. We are often asked to deal with a slow-draining kitchen sink and scheduled grease trap emptying, across under-sink grease traps, inline grease traps and school and care home kitchens.
Work in a small place like Wokefield starts with agreeing a date and access, and the deep clean is the same as anywhere: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment.
Every visit ends with a written report and photos, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What we’re called out for in Wokefield
Fats, oils and grease from cooking and washing up go down the sink. In the trap, they cool and separate, and the layer gets thicker day by day.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- A grease trap that hasn’t been emptied in a long time
- A kitchen drain that smells
- Scheduled grease trap emptying
- A larger grease trap that needs emptying
Stratfield Saye House, about 3.4 miles south, is one of the historic houses around Wokefield; event kitchens at places like that work in bursts, so a deep clean after a busy season helps.

Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.

Pub and hotel kitchens get the same build-up behind equipment and in the grease trap as any other. It’s West Berkshire council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Wokefield. Walls, floors, ceilings and equipment are all part of what they look at.

Visits are booked around your hours, evenings and weekends included.

What affects the quote in Wokefield
There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The times the site is available
- How easy every part is to reach
- Site rules, permits and inductions
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you’ll get one fixed quote.
Helping us quote
Many jobs can be priced from pictures and some basics. Useful things to send:
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- 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.
Why it’s worth doing now in Wokefield
A smelly, overflowing trap attracts pests. A clean trap is less of an attraction, alongside good kitchen hygiene. With notice, the visit to Wokefield can be fitted around your bookings and events.

Questions from Wokefield
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Wokefield?
Food hygiene inspections in Wokefield are carried out by West Berkshire council. An officer may look behind equipment and at drains, so it pays to have the deep clean booked before those areas build up.
Do you work at weekends in Wokefield?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Just call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, as well as food production and leisure sites.
How much time does a grease trap clean need?
A typical clean takes an hour or so for an under-sink trap, longer for a larger unit, including testing. We plan the visit around your service.
What happens if a grease trap is not cleaned?
Once it’s full, grease passes straight through. It then sets in the drains, causing blockages and smells, and can add to fatbergs in the sewer.
Which grease traps does the service cover?
We clean all the common types. If you’re not sure what you have, send us a photo when you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so we can schedule a run of sites as one programme. Each site gets its own report and pictures.
What’s TR19?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
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’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 don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
How it works
We are used to working while the site is closed. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. On site, the work takes a short visit for a small trap and longer for an inline unit or interceptor. In a small place like Wokefield, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- A visit is booked around your service.
- The trap is opened up and checked.
- Built-up grease and food waste are taken out.
- The inside, baffles and outlet are cleaned.
- 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
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
How to get a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
