Grease trap cleaning in Eton Wick
Once a trap is full, grease passes straight through. Fat sets in the pipes downstream, leading to slow drains, blockages and smells. A trap that is cleaned regularly keeps grease where it belongs. The work covers under-sink grease traps, pot wash sinks and restaurants and takeaways, and the jobs we see most are washing-up water that won’t drain away and scheduled grease trap emptying.
For a kitchen in or near Eton Wick, the visit is planned ahead, around opening times and the journey.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

What we are called out for in Eton Wick
A full trap can’t hold any more grease. It then builds up in the drains and the sewer beyond, where it can form blockages.
Clients typically contact us after spotting something like this:
- Scheduled grease trap emptying
- A kitchen drain that smells
- Sinks that drain slowly
- An interceptor full of grease and solids
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Eton Wick CofE First School or anywhere near Eton Wick, the holidays are the time for a deep clean or a grease trap clean.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether VAT is included
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- Whether they recommend a next date
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or photos
Part by part
Restaurant and takeaway kitchens
A blocked drain in a busy kitchen can stop service. Keeping the trap clean reduces the risk.
Inline grease traps
An inline trap sits in the pipework between the kitchen and the drain. They’re larger than under-sink traps but still fill up.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
When something else is needed
Before booking, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Drains that need jetting rather than trap cleaning
- Drains that are cracked or have collapsed
- A trap undersized for the amount of cooking
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Where we work
- School and care home kitchens
- Restaurants and takeaways
- Inline grease traps
- Kitchen waste pipes
- Under-sink grease traps
- Pot wash sinks
Between visits
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Tell us when sinks start draining slowly
- Never pour used oil down the sink
- Don’t rely on hot water to clear grease
- Use strainers in the sink plugholes
The sinks are ready to use as soon as we have finished. Water is run through to check everything flows before we go.
If the kitchen has got busier, the trap fills faster. Booking cleans more often keeps the drains flowing.
Eton Wick questions
Do you clean school kitchens in Eton Wick in the summer holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. Food Standards Agency records list about 42 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Eton Wick. You can ring 0345 646 2711 or email us with the dates the site is empty.
Which environmental health team covers Eton Wick?
That is Windsor and Maidenhead council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Eton Wick. Photos from a deep clean are a simple record of what was done and when.
How long will the sinks be out of use?
Each trap is a little different, and you can expect it to take less than an hour for many under-sink units. You will know before the visit.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, from your pictures and details, or with a visit where necessary. A fixed quote follows.
Which grease traps does the service cover?
We cover under-sink, inline and interceptor units. They’re emptied, cleaned and checked whatever the size.
What problems does a full grease trap cause?
Grease escapes into the drains when the trap is full. It sets there and narrows the pipes and causes blockages. Regular cleaning prevents it.
What about areas you cannot get to?
Anything we can’t reach goes on the report, with pictures where possible, and we explain what access is needed, for example new access panels.
Can you clear our blocked drains as well?
A trap clean removes the grease in the trap and that may solve a slow drain caused by the trap. Blockages further down the drain, or damaged pipework, need a drainage contractor.

How it works
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes an hour or so for an under-sink trap, longer for a larger unit. In a small place like Eton Wick, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- We agree a time when the sinks are not needed.
- The trap is opened up and checked.
- We remove the grease layer and settled solids.
- We clean the baffles, inlet and outlet.
- The trap is closed, tested and the next clean discussed.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
