About our grease trap cleaning in Bury's Bank
Once a trap is full, grease passes straight through. Fat sets in the pipes downstream and the result is blocked drains and bad smells. A trap that’s cleaned regularly keeps grease where it belongs. The work covers school and care home kitchens, restaurants and takeaways and inline grease traps, and people most often call us about an inline trap or interceptor due for cleaning and an under-sink trap that keeps filling up.
For a kitchen in or near Bury's Bank, the visit is planned ahead, around opening times and the journey, and the deep clean is the same as anywhere: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

What staff can safely do
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Why deal with it now?
Grease that leaves the kitchen ends up somewhere. It can build up in the drains and join fatbergs in the sewer. Keeping it in the trap, and emptying the trap, is the responsible thing to do. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Bury's Bank is calmer for everyone.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.

Between visits
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Book trap cleans at a set interval
- Make sure the trap can be reached easily
- Keep waste oil out of the drains
- Don’t rely on hot water to clear grease
Once the trap is cleaned and refitted, the sinks can be used straight away. Water is run through to check everything flows before we go.
Grease that gets past the trap sets in the drains. Once it’s there, it needs a drainage contractor to clear, so it’s far better to keep the trap clean.

The process
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and we take it from there. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. Seeing the system in pictures first means the trip to Bury's Bank can be planned properly.
- We agree a time when the sinks aren’t needed.
- The trap is opened up and checked.
- We remove the grease layer and settled solids.
- The inside, baffles and outlet are cleaned.
- The trap is closed, tested and the next clean discussed.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system

What we’re called out for in Bury's Bank
Every pan and plate washed sends grease towards the drain. In the trap, they cool and separate and the grease layer grows.
Most sites get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Sinks that drain slowly
- An under-sink unit that needs regular emptying
- Drains clogged with fat
- A grease trap that hasn’t been emptied in a long time
West Berkshire Community Hospital, about 1.6 miles north, is the nearest hospital to Bury's Bank; healthcare kitchens cannot stop cooking, so deep cleans are worked around meal times.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Bury's Bank
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We are happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with pictures.
What the work involves, part by part
Under-sink grease traps
Under-sink units are easy to forget. A full one shows itself with a slow, smelly sink.
Inline grease traps
An inline trap sits in the pipework between the kitchen and the drain. They hold more than under-sink units but still fill up.
What grease trap cleaning looks like in Bury's Bank
Food Standards Agency data counts about 12 restaurants, cafés and works canteens within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Bury's Bank. Fat from washing up sets hard in pipes, and kitchens like these produce plenty of it. Environmental health officers from West Berkshire council inspect food businesses in Bury's Bank. 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.

Which environmental health team covers Bury's Bank?
Food hygiene inspections in Bury's Bank are carried out by West Berkshire council. Photos from a deep clean are a simple record of what was done and when.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. TR19® itself isn’t law; it’s a BESA specification. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19® is the recognised way to show grease is under control.
Where does the grease from the trap go?
We take the grease and solids away with us. Nothing greasy is left on site after the visit.
What types of premises do you cover?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, as well as food production and leisure sites.
Will you tell us when the next visit is due?
Yes. The report recommends when the next visit should be, based on what we found and how the system is used.
How much does grease trap cleaning cost?
It depends on the type and size of the trap, its condition and access. Tell us about the trap and we’ll come back with a fixed price.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
We never leave them off the paperwork. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
