Grease trap cleaning in Slough: how it works

Grease traps sit between the sinks and the drain, holding back fats, oils and grease. As the waste water cools, the grease floats and stays in the trap while the water carries on to the drain. Eventually it fills and needs emptying and cleaning. Typical jobs include an overdue grease trap and a kitchen drain that smells, across kitchen waste pipes, school and care home kitchens and pot wash sinks.

Our technicians bring everything the work needs, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. The visit takes an hour or so for an under-sink trap, longer for a larger unit.

We find the trap and check how it’s connected.
Nothing drains into the trap while it’s open.
Built-up fat, oil and grease is removed from the trap.
We clean the chambers, baffles and connections.
We put it back together, run water through and remove the waste.

Commercial kitchens across Slough

In Slough, every food business is inspected by its local council, and a clean kitchen with a working grease trap is part of what they look for.

Across London and the South East, we work evenings, overnight and weekends, so sites in Slough can keep trading.

Slough: A summer deep clean suits schools such as Herschel Grammar School, as the kitchen can be stripped back with no lunches to serve. Where a church or community hall near St Michael and All Angels, or anywhere in Slough, has a kitchen used by volunteers, a periodic deep clean keeps it ready for the next event.

Why it fails

Food waste slips past sink strainers or gets rinsed down. Solids settle at the bottom of the trap and fill it from below.

It’s time to book a visit if you see:

A grease trap that hasn’t been emptied in a long time
Drains clogged with fat
A slow-draining kitchen sink
Gurgling from the sink waste

What the work involves, part by part

Inline grease traps

Access to an inline trap can be in a floor or cupboard. We ask about access when we quote.

School, care home and staff kitchens

Care home and hospital kitchens need their drains working all the time. Visits are planned between meals.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?

A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.

If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.

What grease trap cleaning can’t fix

We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so here are the limits:

Leaking pipework or sink wastes, which need a plumber
A trap undersized for the amount of cooking
Drains that need jetting rather than trap cleaning

What happens if it’s left?

A dirty grease trap smells. Rotting food and grease give off foul odours and the smell carries. Cleaning it removes the cause.

Common questions in Slough

Do you take the waste away?

We remove all the waste we take out. It is not poured back down the drain, of course.

How much notice do you need?

For planned work, earlier is better, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.

Do I get a report after the visit?

Yes, on every job. The report is dated and includes photos, plus a certificate via the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal for TR19® Grease cleans. Keep it in your maintenance log.

How much time does a grease trap clean need?

Each trap is a little different, but a clean generally takes anything from under an hour to a few hours, depending on the trap. We’ll confirm when we quote.

Do we need to stop using the sinks while you work?

While the trap is being cleaned, nothing can drain into it. That is why we time visits around service so the kitchen is not held up.

Can you set up regular visits?

Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, depending on what the system needs.

How do you protect the area?

By covering it before any work starts. We keep the work contained and clean down when we finish.
