Grease trap cleaning in Aldworth
Grease is behind most blocked kitchen drains. Down the line, they can add to fatbergs in the sewer. A well-maintained trap keeps them out of the drains. We’re often asked to deal with an interceptor full of grease and solids and scheduled grease trap emptying, on under-sink grease traps, kitchen waste pipes and pot wash sinks.
Somewhere as small as Aldworth, the kitchens that need a deep clean are typically a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still needs the occasional deep clean and its grease trap kept clear.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We are happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Grease trap cleaning in Aldworth: local notes
Food hygiene inspections in Aldworth are the job of West Berkshire council’s environmental health team. The state of floors, drains and hard-to-reach corners all feeds into the inspection. A record of each deep clean helps show the kitchen is kept in order. About 48 miles out from central London, Aldworth is part of the South East area we work across. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site.
School kitchens, at schools like The Downs School for example, usually have their deep cleans and grease trap work done while the canteen is closed. Basildon Park, about 3.6 miles east, is one of the historic houses around Aldworth; event kitchens at places like that work in bursts, so a deep clean after a busy season helps.
Aldworth is about 7 miles south of Didcot, in Oxfordshire. Every kind of commercial site in Aldworth, we can take on grease trap cleaning. We can work out of hours so the site keeps running. Aldworth is one of 443 towns, villages and districts in Oxfordshire we cover for commercial clients. Reading is in our area too, about 11 miles from Aldworth.
Our technicians cover all of RG8 for grease trap cleaning and the roads nearby. Close by, we work in Compton (2 miles west), Woodway (3 miles north-west), Aston Tirrold (4 miles north), East Ilsley (4 miles west) and Blewbury (4 miles north). Further out, we also cover Didcot (7 miles north), Abingdon-on-Thames (12 miles north), Wantage (11 miles north-west), Henley-on-Thames (13 miles east), Grove (12 miles north-west) and Benson (8 miles north-east).
Local landmarks in Aldworth
Around Aldworth, our work takes us to kitchens and buildings near The Bell Inn, among other places. For rail, the closest station is Goring & Streatley station, roughly 3 miles east. Other landmarks nearby include Hampstead Norris Castle (2.8 miles south-west). For a walk, there’s Withymead Nature Reserve and Churn Hill.
The process
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, the work takes anything from under an hour to a few hours, depending on the trap. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Aldworth.
- First, we locate the grease trap and look at the pipework around it.
- The sinks feeding the trap are kept out of use while we work.
- Built-up fat, oil and grease is removed from the trap.
- Every part of the trap is scraped and cleaned, including the baffles.
- We put it back together, run water through and remove the waste.
Preparing for the visit
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Let us know about parking and loading
Getting a quote
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To get going, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
Advice
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Aldworth questions
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Aldworth?
Food hygiene inspections in Aldworth are carried out by West Berkshire council. How often a business is inspected depends on the council’s risk rating for it, so the kitchen needs to be ready at any time.
Do you cover smaller places like Aldworth?
Yes. Aldworth is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and we’ll quote them together.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line, for problems that cannot wait. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
What does TR19 mean?
A BESA specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It is not legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
How much notice do you need?
The more notice, the better, particularly for night and weekend visits. Quotes typically come back within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
What happens to the waste?
It’s contained and taken away. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on, so it does not spread.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We carry full insurance, and we’ve been trading since 2009.
When to call us in Aldworth
The more a kitchen cooks and washes up, the quicker the trap fills. A trap that suited a quieter kitchen can fill very quickly when trade picks up.
The symptoms we are asked about most include:
- Foul odours from the grease trap
- Drains clogged with fat
- A regular cleaning plan for the grease trap
- An interceptor full of grease and solids
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St Mary's church or elsewhere in Aldworth, a deep clean and an emptied grease trap before a busy season of events are worth booking.

When it’s something else
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so these are the things it will not cover:
- Plumbing leaks around the sink
- Grease deep in the drains, which needs jetting by a drainage contractor
- A grease trap that is too small for the kitchen
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Why it’s worth doing now in Aldworth
Smells from a neglected trap are hard to ignore. Decomposing waste in the trap smells bad that can reach the kitchen and beyond. A clean trap takes the source away. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Aldworth rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before we start.

What the work involves, part by part
School, care home and staff kitchens
Kitchens with fixed mealtimes build up grease more predictably. A regular interval suits them well.
Grease interceptors
Bigger kitchens may have a larger grease interceptor. With more capacity, they fill more slowly, but they still need regular emptying and cleaning.
