Grease trap cleaning across Wokingham: what to expect

Kitchens in Wokingham use us for grease trap cleaning, whether it’s an under-sink unit or a larger inline trap. We come when the sinks aren’t needed so washing up is not interrupted. The work covers kitchen waste pipes, restaurants and takeaways and school and care home kitchens, and people most often call us about a grease trap that hasn’t been emptied in a long time and a small trap that fills too quickly.

There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, and the sign-off is a written report with pictures. Most of the time goes on the work itself, and that takes anything from under an hour to a few hours, depending on the trap.

First, we find the trap and look at its connections.
We make sure nothing drains into the trap.
We empty out the fat, oil, grease and solids.
We clean every part of the inside.
The trap is refitted, tested with water and the waste taken away.

Grease trap cleaning across Wokingham: local notes

From Reading, Woodley and Earley to its smaller places, Wokingham has commercial kitchens of every size. All of them collect grease behind equipment, on high surfaces and in the drains.

Wokingham is within the area we cover, which takes in London and the South East. Each job starts with a survey and a fixed quote, wherever it is in Wokingham.

Reading: If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near All Nations Christian Centre or elsewhere in Reading, a deep clean and an emptied grease trap before a busy season of events are worth booking. If you run a kitchen near Reading West station with long trading hours, grease builds up faster behind equipment and in the trap.

Why it fails

Food waste slips past sink strainers or gets rinsed down. It settles in the trap as solids and fill it from below.

What we’re most often called out for:

Gurgling from the sink waste
An under-sink unit that needs regular emptying
Foul odours from the grease trap
A slow-draining kitchen sink

Between visits

Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:

Tell us if your menu or hours change
Make sure the trap can be reached easily
Act on gurgling or smelly drains
Scrape plates and pans into the bin before washing up

Scrape plates into the bin before washing up. Use strainers in the sink plugholes so less solid waste gets through.

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.

What happens if it’s left?

In Wokingham, as anywhere, grease trap cleaning is a short, routine visit. Waiting for a blockage turns it into an urgent problem, often at a busy time.

What grease trap cleaning can’t fix

A few issues sit outside what this work can do:

Blockages in the public sewer beyond the property
A unit that cannot cope with the kitchen’s output
Grease deep in the drains, which needs jetting by a drainage contractor

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, alongside our reports.

Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.

Questions from Wokingham

How do you keep the site clean during the work?

With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. The work is kept contained and clean down when we finish.

Do you offer emergency callouts?

Yes, 24/7. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, and the emergency line covers the rest.

How much notice do you need?

The more notice, the better, especially for out-of-hours work. We typically quote within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.

What do you do with what you remove?

We contain it and take it with us. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go rather than letting it spread.

Do you recommend a next date?

Yes. We put a recommended next date on the report. For kitchen extracts, BESA’s minimum intervals run from every 3 months for heavy use to every 12 months for light use, and fire dampers need testing at least once a year.

Which accreditations do you hold?

BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We’ve been trading since 2009 and we are fully insured.

What types of premises do you cover?

Commercial premises of every kind: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. Work is timed around how each site runs.
