About our grease trap cleaning in Clewer
We clean grease traps for kitchens in Clewer, whether it’s an under-sink unit or a larger inline trap. We come when the sinks are not needed so washing up is not interrupted. Typical jobs include a kitchen drain that smells and an under-sink trap that keeps filling up, on under-sink grease traps, restaurants and takeaways and school and care home kitchens.
In a smaller place like Clewer, commercial kitchens are more likely to be a pub, a café, a takeaway or a school or care home kitchen. A smaller kitchen still builds up grease where everyday cleaning doesn’t reach.
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 and sits alongside the report.

Aftercare tips
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Don’t rely on hot water to clear grease
- Act on gurgling or smelly drains
- Never pour used oil down the sink
- Keep access to the trap clear
Collect waste cooking oil separately rather than pouring it down the sink and the trap will not fill as quickly. It’s the single easiest way to help.
If the kitchen has got busier, the trap fills faster. Shortening the cleaning interval now stops it overflowing.
How we price grease trap cleaning
Sites vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- What state the system is in
- How easy every part is to reach
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The times the site is available
The cost depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.
Asking for a quote
Many jobs can be priced from pictures and some basics. Useful things to send:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that’s where we come in.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
What we do, step by step
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. It takes anything from under an hour to a few hours, depending on the trap, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. In a place like Clewer, we fit the visit around your hours.
- 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.
- The chambers and baffles are cleaned.
- We refit it, run water through and remove the waste.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
Getting a quote
Getting a quote does not take long. Call or email with a few details and you’ll typically have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.

Other services in Clewer
What grease trap cleaning can’t fix
Before you book, it helps to know what’s not included:
- A trap undersized for the amount of cooking
- Blockages further down the drainage network
- Grease deep in the drains, which needs jetting by a drainage contractor
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Parts of the system we cover

Leave it or put it right?
Pouring hot water or chemicals down a slow drain is a common quick fix. It just shifts the grease further along to set somewhere harder to reach. The lasting fix starts with the trap. Even a site near Clewer that is only busy part of the week needs its system checked on a schedule.
You will not find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we will talk you through it.

Commercial kitchens in Clewer
Food Standards Agency records list about 4 food manufacturers and packers in and around Clewer, up to about a mile and a half out. For food producers, the grease trap schedule should follow the volume going through it. Environmental health officers from Windsor and Maidenhead council inspect food businesses in Clewer. They look at the cleanliness of the whole kitchen: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment. A record of each deep clean helps show the kitchen is kept in order.
A summer deep clean suits schools such as St Edward's Catholic First School, as the kitchen can be stripped back with no lunches to serve. If you run a café or takeaway near Windsor & Eton Central station, a deep clean overnight means the kitchen opens as normal next morning.

FAQs for Clewer
Can you get to a site in Clewer?
Yes. Clewer 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.
Can you come to Clewer after we close?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
How much notice do you need?
Book as early as you can for planned work, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
Who is the responsible person?
In the words of the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person. That’s generally the employer or the person in control of the premises, and in shared buildings more than one person can have duties. Your lease and fire risk assessment should make it clear.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
Which grease traps does the service cover?
We cover under-sink, inline and interceptor units. Each one is emptied, cleaned and checked whatever the size.
Where does the grease from the trap go?
The fat, oil, grease and solids we remove go with us. It is not poured back down the drain, of course.
Do you recommend a next date?
Yes. The interval depends on how much the system is used and what we find, and we explain the reasoning on the report.
