Grease trap cleaning in Cippenham, done properly
Fats, oils and grease are the main cause of blocked kitchen drains. Further on, grease can build into fatbergs in the sewer. A well-maintained trap keeps them out of the drains. If you have a regular cleaning plan for the grease trap and an overdue grease trap, we can put it right.
In a place like Cippenham, kitchens often sit in older buildings with older drains. Smells and slow drains are the usual warning signs.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with pictures after each visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Grease trap cleaning in Cippenham: local notes
The FSA’s data shows about 14 pubs, bars and clubs and about 3 hotels and guest houses registered within about 1.5 miles of central Cippenham. Any of them serving food has a kitchen that collects grease out of sight and drains that need protecting. It’s Slough council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Cippenham. Walls, floors, ceilings and equipment are all part of what they look at. A cleaning log that includes deep cleans and grease trap visits shows the work is planned.
If you serve passing trade near Burnham station, a grease trap on a regular schedule keeps the drains running through busy weeks. Half-term is a good time for school kitchens, at schools like Cippenham Primary School for instance, to have the grease trap emptied and the kitchen deep cleaned. If you run a care home or healthcare kitchen near Cippenham (the nearest hospital is Upton Hospital, about 2.1 miles east), a grease trap on a set schedule avoids a blocked drain mid-service.

Advice
Cippenham: your questions answered
Do you work in school kitchens around Cippenham out of term?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. There are about 16 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Cippenham. Send us your term dates when you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we’ll fit the work in.
Do you work in villages like Cippenham?
Yes. Cippenham is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
What happens to the waste?
It leaves the site with us when we go. While we work, it’s kept contained so the area stays clean.
What do you do with the waste?
The waste leaves with us. You’re not left with anything to dispose of after the visit.
Will cleaning the grease trap fix a blocked drain?
We clean the trap, not the drain network. If the drain beyond the trap is blocked or damaged, we will tell you and suggest a drainage contractor.
What does a grease trap clean cost?
No two traps are quite the same, so we quote once we know what you have. We give you a fixed price, typically within one working day.
What is TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene 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.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and we’ll quote them together.
What grease trap cleaning can’t fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- Blockages in the public sewer beyond the property
- Broken pipework below ground
- A leaking sink waste or trap connection
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will say what we think.

What staff can safely do
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that’s where we come in.
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Multi-site and managed buildings
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Every visit ends with a dated report and photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Keeping the system healthy
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Don’t wait for a blockage to book a clean
- Keep strainers in every sink
- Hot water only moves grease further down
- Wipe grease off pans before washing them
Between cleans, keep food scraps out of the sink. Use strainers in the sink plugholes so less solid waste gets through.
Fat that escapes the trap hardens in the pipework. Clearing it then is a bigger job so prevention is the easier route.
How the job changes from site to site
Baffles and outlets
The baffles hold back grease while water flows on. Grease clings to them, so we clean them.
Inline grease traps
Inline traps often take waste from several sinks or appliances. More waste means faster filling.

What affects the cost of grease trap cleaning
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- The condition of the system
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The scale of the work
- Whether several sites go on one quote
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before any work starts.
Asking for a quote
What to send for a quote:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
We do not publish a price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To start, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
