Commercial kitchens in Hungerford Green
At about 47 miles from central London, Hungerford Green sits well inside the area we cover. Visits are booked around your hours, evenings and weekends included. Environmental health officers from West Berkshire council inspect food businesses in Hungerford Green. Grease behind equipment or on a ceiling is the kind of thing an inspection can note. Photos and dates from each deep clean make a useful record.
Half-term is a good time for school kitchens, at schools like The Downs School for instance, to have the grease trap emptied and the kitchen deep cleaned. If you cater for weddings or events at a historic house in the area (Basildon Park is about 3.4 miles east), deep cleans can be fitted between bookings. Hall and church kitchens, near St Mary's church or anywhere around Hungerford Green, are used by many hands, and periodic deep cleans and grease trap visits keep them in order.

About our grease trap cleaning in Hungerford Green
We clean grease traps for kitchens in Hungerford Green, from small under-sink units to inline traps and interceptors. Visits are booked around your service, so the kitchen keeps running. If you have a bad smell from the sinks or drains and an under-sink unit that needs regular emptying, we can put it right.
In a village or hamlet like Hungerford Green, commercial kitchens are few, perhaps a pub, a school or a care home. Each still needs the occasional deep clean and its grease trap kept clear.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That is why every job is written up in a report with photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not 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.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.
What happens on the day
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we’re 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. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Hungerford Green.
- First, we find the trap and look at its connections.
- Sinks feeding the trap are taken out of use.
- We empty out the fat, oil, grease and solids.
- The chambers and baffles are cleaned.
- The trap is refitted, tested with water and the waste taken away.
How to prepare
- Clear the space around the work
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
How to get a quote
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few photos and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.

What a clean will not put right
We will not sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so these are the things it will not cover:
- Collapsed or damaged drains, which need a drainage contractor
- A grease trap that’s too small for the kitchen
- A leaking sink waste or trap connection
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll tell you honestly.
What the work covers
- Inline grease traps
- Pot wash sinks
- Under-sink grease traps
- School and care home kitchens
- Kitchen waste pipes
- Restaurants and takeaways
Different parts, different methods
Inline grease traps
Access to an inline trap can be in a floor or cupboard. We check how to reach it before the visit.
Restaurant and takeaway kitchens
A blocked drain in a busy kitchen can stop service. Regular trap cleaning helps prevent it.
Fixed quotes for grease trap cleaning in Hungerford Green
You’ll get a fixed price before work begins. It’s based on:
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- The times the site is available
- How big the system is
- What state the system is in
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.
What to send for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- The postcode and the type of business
- Problems your staff have spotted
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before we start.

Looking after it afterwards
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Wipe grease off pans before washing them
- Avoid pouring boiling water down to shift grease
- Tell us when sinks start draining slowly
- Keep the grease trap on a regular cleaning schedule
If we spot problems beyond the trap, such as a drain that still runs slowly, we will tell you. That may need a drainage contractor to investigate.
A fixed cleaning interval means the trap never gets overfull. The interval is set to suit the trap and the kitchen.
