Slough · Grease trap cleaning
Grease trap cleaning in Horton, Slough
Professional grease trap cleaning in and around Horton, timed so the site keeps working and finished with a written report and pictures.
- An interceptor full of grease and solids
- An overdue grease trap
- A bad smell from the sinks or drains
What we do, step by step
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Horton and turn up when the site is quiet.
- 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.
- The trap is refitted, tested with water and the waste taken away.
Getting ready for the visit
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Clear the space around the work
How to get a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your pictures and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before we start.

About our grease trap cleaning in Horton
In Horton, we time grease trap visits so the sinks are not needed. The trap is emptied, cleaned and checked and remove the waste. It works on its own or with a deep clean or extract clean. We are often asked to deal with a bad smell from the sinks or drains and a full, neglected grease trap, on school and care home kitchens, pot wash sinks and under-sink grease traps.
Work in a small place like Horton starts with agreeing a date and access.
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.

What a clean will not put right
Grease trap cleaning cannot fix everything, and we will tell you before we start. It won’t put right:
- A leaking sink waste or trap connection
- Drains that are cracked or have collapsed
- Drains that need jetting rather than trap cleaning
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on in Horton
- Restaurants and takeaways
- Under-sink grease traps
- Pot wash sinks
- Inline grease traps
- Kitchen waste pipes
- School and care home kitchens
Keeping the system healthy
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Mention any increase in cooking
- Get food waste into the bin, not the sink
- Report slow or smelly sinks early
- Keep waste oil out of the drains
The waste we remove leaves with us. There’s no greasy waste left on site when we’re done.
Slow sinks and a bad smell are early warnings. Getting it cleaned now can stop a full blockage down the line.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. That’s our job.
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Grease trap cleaning in Horton: local notes
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 19 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 7 takeaways within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Horton. Kitchens like these wash fat, oil and grease down the sink every day, and a grease trap is what stops it reaching the sewer. Food hygiene inspections in Horton are the job of Windsor and Maidenhead council’s environmental health team. An inspection covers the structure of the kitchen as well as the food. A cleaning log that includes deep cleans and grease trap visits shows the work is planned.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Upton Hospital about 3.3 miles north-west, deep cleans and grease trap visits are planned so meals still go out. If you look after a hall kitchen near Church of St Michael or anywhere in Horton, a deep clean between busy seasons is easier than a scramble before a big event. Frogmore House, about 2.5 miles west, is one of the historic houses around Horton; event kitchens at places like that work in bursts, so a deep clean after a busy season helps.

What affects the cost of grease trap cleaning
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- The size of the system
- The number of sites or systems
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
What you pay depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.
Helping us quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- Any previous report or certificate
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To start, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Questions from Horton
Will you come out to Horton?
Yes. Horton is within the area we cover across London and the South East. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Do you work in school kitchens around Horton out of term?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. With about 4 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Horton, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Just ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your term dates and we will plan around them.
What happens if a grease trap isn’t cleaned?
Grease escapes into the drains when the trap is full. It sets there and narrows the pipes until they block. Keeping the trap clean stops that happening.
Are you accredited?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
What do you do to protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. We keep the work contained and leave the area clean.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, as well as food production and leisure sites.
How long will the sinks be out of use?
Most grease trap cleans take anything from under an hour to a few hours, depending on the trap including checking it drains. It’s booked when the sinks are not needed.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Every visit ends with a dated report and photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
