West Berkshire · Grease trap cleaning
Grease trap cleaning in Greenham, West Berkshire
Professional grease trap cleaning in and around Greenham, timed so the site keeps working and finished with a written report and pictures.
- A slow-draining kitchen sink
- A small trap that fills too quickly
- A blocked kitchen drain caused by grease
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Book trap cleans at a set interval
- Keep strainers in every sink
- Collect waste cooking oil separately
- Make sure the trap can be reached easily
Keep used oil out of the drains and the trap will not fill as quickly. It makes a real difference.
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.
Grease trap cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Greenham
Grease trap cleaning keeps the drains running and the smells away. We empty the built-up grease and food solids and the chambers and baffles cleaned, and check the trap is working properly. The work covers pot wash sinks, restaurants and takeaways and under-sink grease traps, and people most often call us about a full, neglected grease trap and a routine grease trap service.
Somewhere as small as Greenham, the kitchens that need a deep clean are usually a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still needs the occasional deep clean and its grease trap kept clear.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

Do you need grease trap cleaning in Greenham?
A full trap can’t hold any more grease. It goes on into the drain and on towards the sewer, where it can form blockages.
These are the problems we see most often:
- An interceptor full of grease and solids
- A full, neglected grease trap
- A slow-draining kitchen sink
- A blocked kitchen drain caused by grease
Healthcare kitchens cook through the year, so a deep clean has to be fitted around meals; West Berkshire Community Hospital, about 1.5 miles north-east, is the nearest hospital to Greenham.
