Grease Trap Cleaning in Datchet
Grease trap cleaning for Datchet, from a team that has been trading since 2009. Out-of-hours visits and 24/7 emergency callout.
- Gurgling from the sink waste
- A grease trap that hasn’t been emptied in a long time
- A regular cleaning plan for the grease trap
What we do, step by step
The visit has three parts: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, and the sign-off is a written report with photos. The middle part takes longest, which takes an hour or so for an under-sink trap, longer for a larger unit. Tell us about any gates, ladders or locked plant areas at your site near Datchet when you book.
- First, we locate the grease trap and look at the pipework around it.
- We ask for the sinks that drain into the trap not to be used.
- Built-up fat, oil and grease is removed from the trap.
- We clean the chambers, baffles and connections.
- We put it back together, run water through and remove the waste.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions

Advice
How we handle grease trap cleaning in Datchet
Grease trap cleaning keeps the drains running and the smells away. We empty the built-up grease and food solids, clean the inside and the baffles, and check the trap is working properly. The work covers kitchen waste pipes, pot wash sinks and inline grease traps, and people most often call us about drains clogged with fat and drains that gurgle and bubble.
Around a place like Datchet, deep clean work tends to mean pubs, cafés and school or care home kitchens. Smaller kitchens still collect grease behind equipment and in the drains.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

What your team can do, and what needs us
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 give you a fixed quote.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
How the job changes from site to site
School, care home and staff kitchens
Kitchens that serve set mealtimes fill their traps more steadily. A regular interval suits them well.
Grease interceptors
Grease interceptors are larger units that serve busier kitchens. With more capacity, they fill more slowly but they still need cleaning.
Signs you need grease trap cleaning in Datchet
In Datchet, as everywhere, grease traps are easy to forget. Tucked away under the sink or below the floor, it’s often ignored until something goes wrong.
The symptoms we’re asked about most are:
- Sinks that drain slowly
- An under-sink unit that needs regular emptying
- A bad smell from the sinks or drains
- A blocked kitchen drain caused by grease
A summer deep clean suits schools such as Datchet St Mary's CofE Primary School, as the kitchen can be stripped back with no lunches to serve.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- How they set the interval to the next visit
Managing agents and facilities teams in Datchet
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Datchet and across Slough. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
Looking after it afterwards
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Fit sink strainers to catch food scraps
- Keep access to the trap clear
- Do not wait for a blockage to book a clean
- Scrape plates and pans into the bin before washing up
Once the trap is cleaned and refitted, the sinks can be used right away. We run water through to check it drains before we go.
A trap that’s left too long stops catching grease. Cleaning it before it’s full keeps grease out of the drains and avoids a blockage.
