In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
How the job changes from site to site
Baffles and outlets
Every clean includes the baffles, inlet and outlet so water flows freely.
Under-sink grease traps
Under-sink units are easy to forget. A full one shows itself with a slow, smelly sink.
East Ilsley questions
Can you work in East Ilsley outside opening hours?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. Your customers, staff or residents in East Ilsley needn’t be disturbed. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Can you get to a site in East Ilsley?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and East Ilsley is covered. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
How regularly does a grease trap need emptying?
It varies. The interval depends on how quickly your trap fills and we’ll advise on timing.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a single café to a large school. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not typically. Out-of-hours visits keep the disruption down. Bigger sites can be done in stages to keep things running.
What happens if a grease trap isn’t cleaned?
An overfull trap stops separating grease. Slow drains, bad smells and blockages follow.
Which grease traps does the service cover?
Under-sink and inline grease traps, and larger interceptors. Each one is emptied, cleaned and checked whatever the size.
What do you do with what you remove?
We take it away when we go. While we work, it’s kept contained to keep the area clean.
Honest limits
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Collapsed or damaged drains, which need a drainage contractor
- A unit that cannot cope with the kitchen’s output
- Plumbing leaks around the sink
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will say what we think before you book.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across West Berkshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
What affects the quote in East Ilsley
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- What state the system is in
- The times the site is available
- A single visit or a regular plan
- How many systems or sites are involved
You will not find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us, and we will explain what it covers.
What to send for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Send what you can of the following:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

- A routine grease trap service
- Grease setting in the kitchen pipework
- An overdue grease trap
- Gurgling drains in the kitchen
Hall and church kitchens, near Church of St Mary or anywhere around East Ilsley, are used by many hands, and periodic deep cleans and grease trap visits keep them in order.

The process
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your pictures. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. From there, it takes a short visit for a small trap and longer for an inline unit or interceptor. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in East Ilsley before we set off.
- 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.
- We clean the baffles, inlet and outlet.
- We close it up, check it drains and suggest when it needs cleaning again.
Before we arrive
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Move anything stored near the system
Getting a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
