Grease trap cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Green Park
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. Typical jobs include washing-up water that won’t drain away and scheduled grease trap emptying, across pot wash sinks, school and care home kitchens and under-sink grease traps.
For a kitchen in or near Green Park, the visit is planned ahead, around opening times and the journey, and the deep clean is the same as anywhere: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

What else we do in Green Park
Green Park kitchens: local notes
Food Standards Agency data counts about 31 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 13 sandwich bars and takeaways within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Green Park. A grease trap in kitchens like these fills steadily and needs emptying before it overflows. Environmental health officers from Reading council inspect food businesses in Green Park. The state of floors, drains and hard-to-reach corners all feeds into the inspection. Photos and dates from each deep clean make a useful record.
Hall kitchens near St Paul's Church or elsewhere in Green Park may have older sinks and drains, so a grease trap check is worth adding to a deep clean. For busy kitchens close to Reading Green Park station, deep cleans and grease trap work can be done after closing.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Green Park: your questions answered
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Green Park?
In Green Park, it’s Reading council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Photos from a deep clean are a simple record of what was done and when.
Can school kitchens in Green Park be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. Food Standards Agency records list about 5 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Green Park. Just call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with your term dates and we’ll plan around them.
How far ahead should we book?
For planned work, earlier is better, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
How long will the sinks be out of use?
The size and state of the trap make the difference, and you can expect it to take an hour or so for an under-sink trap, longer for a larger unit. We’ll confirm when we quote.
Do you recommend a next date?
Yes. The interval depends on how much the system is used and what we find and the report sets out why.
Do we need to stop using the sinks while you work?
While the trap is being cleaned, nothing can drain into it. We book the visit around your service to keep disruption down.
What paperwork should we keep on file?
Everything that shows the system is looked after: our reports and pictures, any certificates and your in-house logs. One maintenance log per site keeps it simple.
Do you clean under-sink and inline grease traps?
We cover under-sink, inline and interceptor units. Each one is emptied, cleaned and checked whatever the size.
How the visit works
The first job on site is protection: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes less than an hour for many under-sink units, and we clear up before we go. Somewhere as small as Green Park, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- First, we find the trap and look at its connections.
- We make sure nothing drains into the trap.
- Grease and solids are removed from the trap.
- We clean every part of the inside.
- We refit it, run water through and remove the waste.
Before we arrive
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
How to get a quote
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Call or email with a few details and you’ll normally have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
Related advice
Signs you need grease trap cleaning in Green Park
A busy kitchen in Green Park, or anywhere else, fills its grease trap faster. A trap that suited a quieter kitchen can fill very quickly when trade picks up.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A regular cleaning plan for the grease trap
- An under-sink unit that needs regular emptying
- An interceptor full of grease and solids
- Gurgling drains in the kitchen
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Royal Berkshire Hospital (about 2.3 miles north-east), cook for long hours, so deep cleans and grease trap work are planned around patients’ meals.
What your quote should include
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- What paperwork you get at the end
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- Whether they recommend a next date
Different parts, different methods
Restaurant and takeaway kitchens
We time visits to avoid service so you don’t lose trade.
Under-sink grease traps
We empty and clean under-sink traps without disrupting the rest of the kitchen, and check the lid and seals.
How we price grease trap cleaning
Your quote is based on your site. We take into account:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The condition of the system
- The size of the system
- Where the site is and how we reach it
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before work begins.
What we need to know
Many jobs can be priced from photos and some basics. Useful things to send:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- A few general shots of the system
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
For grease trap cleaning in Green Park, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form. Tell us what kind of premises it is and when it’s open, plus photos or the previous report if they’re to hand. We typically send a fixed quote within one working day.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
