How we handle grease trap cleaning in Aston
A grease trap is the kitchen drain’s first line of protection. Kept clean, it does its job quietly but left too long, it causes trouble. A regular clean keeps it healthy. We’re often asked to deal with a slow-draining kitchen sink and an inline trap or interceptor due for cleaning, on under-sink grease traps, kitchen waste pipes and inline grease traps.
Rural kitchens may drain to a septic tank or a private drain rather than straight into a public sewer, so keeping fat out with a working grease trap matters even more.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

What grease trap cleaning looks like in Aston
Food Standards Agency data counts about 43 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 7 sandwich bars and takeaways within about 1.5 miles of central Aston. Fat from washing up sets hard in pipes, and kitchens like these produce plenty of it. Food hygiene inspections in Aston are the job of Wokingham council’s environmental health team. The state of floors, drains and hard-to-reach corners all feeds into the inspection. Keeping a record of deep cleans and grease trap visits helps at inspection time.
Greenlands, about 1 mile north-west, is one of the historic houses around Aston; event kitchens at places like that work in bursts, so a deep clean after a busy season helps. If you look after a hall kitchen near Church of St Nicholas or anywhere in Aston, a deep clean between busy seasons is easier than a scramble before a big event.

Questions from Aston
Can you get to a site in Aston?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Can you work in Aston outside opening hours?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The site is handed back ready to open. Just ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Are you insured?
Yes. We carry full insurance, and we’ve been trading since 2009.
Are you accredited?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We’re fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
What happens to the waste?
It leaves the site with us when we go. While we work, it’s kept contained to keep the area clean.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
The report shows them clearly. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, and we can fit those.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and you will get one fixed quote.
Which grease traps does the service cover?
Under-sink units, inline traps and interceptors are all covered. Tell us what you have and we will plan the visit.
Part by part
Inline grease traps
Inline traps are fitted into the drain line. They’re larger than under-sink traps but still need regular emptying.
Baffles and outlets
We check the inlet, outlet and baffles at each clean so the trap works as it should.
What a clean will not put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- Collapsed or damaged drains, which need a drainage contractor
- Leaking pipework or sink wastes, which need a plumber
- Blockages in the public sewer beyond the property
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will say what we think before you book.
What the work covers
- Restaurants and takeaways
- Pot wash sinks
- Kitchen waste pipes
- School and care home kitchens
- Inline grease traps
- Under-sink grease traps

Aftercare tips
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Never pour used oil down the sink
- Use strainers in the sink plugholes
- Get food waste into the bin, not the sink
- Tell us when sinks start draining slowly
We take the grease and solids away. Nothing is left for you to dispose of after the visit.
More cooking means more grease in the trap. Booking cleans more often stops it overflowing.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we will send a fixed quote.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
Signs you need grease trap cleaning in Aston
Food scraps go down the sink with the washing-up water. Solids settle at the bottom of the trap and takes up space.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- An under-sink trap that keeps filling up
- A larger grease trap that needs emptying
- A blocked kitchen drain caused by grease
- Drains that gurgle and bubble
Healthcare kitchens cook through the year, so a deep clean has to be fitted around meals; Marlow Community Hospital, about 4.6 miles east, is the nearest hospital to Aston.

The process
There are three stages on the day: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, while signing off means the written report and photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, which takes anything from under an hour to a few hours, depending on the trap. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Aston.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Move anything stored near the system
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
