How the job changes from site to site
School, care home and staff kitchens
In schools, grease traps can be cleaned when the kitchen is closed or after lunch service.
Baffles and outlets
Baffles inside the trap slow the water so grease can separate. Grease clings to them, so we clean them.
How we handle grease trap cleaning in Woosehill
For kitchens across Woosehill, grease trap cleaning fits easily around service. We empty, clean and check the trap and remove the waste. It can be booked on its own or alongside other kitchen work. Common call-outs are for a kitchen drain that smells and sinks that drain slowly, on restaurants and takeaways, school and care home kitchens and kitchen waste pipes.
In a place like Woosehill, kitchens often sit in older buildings with older drains. Smells and slow drains are the usual warning signs.
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. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

How the visit works
Night work is normal for us. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day.

- We agree a time when the sinks aren’t needed.
- We open the trap and look at its condition.
- 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.

What else we do in Woosehill
Commercial kitchens in Woosehill
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 56 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 17 takeaways and sandwich shops within about 1.5 miles of central Woosehill. A grease trap in kitchens like these fills steadily and needs emptying before it overflows. It’s Wokingham council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Woosehill. They look at the cleanliness of the whole kitchen: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment. Photos and dates from each deep clean make a useful record.
For schools such as Windmill Primary School, deep cleans and grease trap work are usually booked for the holidays. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Woosehill Community Church or elsewhere in Woosehill, a deep clean and an emptied grease trap before a busy season of events are worth booking.

FAQs for Woosehill
Is Woosehill within the area you cover?
Yes, Woosehill is part of our area, however small the site. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Can you come to Woosehill after we close?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The work in Woosehill can fit around your hours. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Do you recommend a next date?
Yes. The recommended date is 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.
Are you insured?
Yes, fully. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it, for sites that check contractor safety.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
Are you accredited?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We are fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
They’re marked on the report. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, and we can fit those.
How do you protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. We keep the work contained and clean down when we finish.
Between visits
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Keep access to the trap clear
- Keep strainers in every sink
- Keep the grease trap on a regular cleaning schedule
- Hot water only moves grease further down
The waste we remove leaves with us. Nothing is left for you to dispose of when we are done.
Fat that escapes the trap hardens in the pipework. Once it’s there, it needs a drainage contractor to clear, so it’s far better to keep the trap clean.
Multi-site and managed buildings
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and photos, so records stay tidy.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.
How we price grease trap cleaning
You will get a fixed price before any work starts. It’s based on:
- What state the system is in
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and the price is agreed before work begins.
What to send for a quote
You don’t need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- A few general shots of the system
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Any previous report or certificate
Getting a quote does not take long. Call or email with a few details and you’ll typically have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
When to call us in Woosehill
A full trap cannot hold any more grease. It then builds up in the drains and the sewer beyond, where it can cause blockages.
What we’re most often called out for:
- Gurgling from the sink waste
- Grease setting in the kitchen pipework
- Scheduled grease trap emptying
- Sinks that drain slowly
