About our grease trap cleaning in Huntercombe
Think of the grease trap as a filter for the kitchen’s drains. When it’s looked after, you hardly know it’s there but left too long, it causes trouble. A regular clean keeps it healthy. Common call-outs are for gurgling drains in the kitchen and an under-sink unit that needs regular emptying, across under-sink grease traps, restaurants and takeaways and kitchen waste pipes.
Work in a smaller place like Huntercombe is planned around your opening hours, and the journey is planned ahead.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That is why every job is written up in a report with photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

How the job changes from site to site
Baffles and outlets
Every clean includes the baffles, inlet and outlet so water flows freely.
Under-sink grease traps
Small grease traps sit under the sink. Their small size means they fill fast and need regular cleaning.
Why it’s worth doing now in Huntercombe
Smells from a neglected trap are hard to ignore. Rotting food and grease give off foul odours that can reach the kitchen and beyond. A clean trap takes the source away. Systems on quieter sites still build up dirt and wear, just more slowly.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.

What affects the cost of grease trap cleaning
Sites vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The scale of the work
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- How easy every part is to reach
We do not list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, and we’ll talk you through it.
Asking for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Any previous report or certificate
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. You will usually have a quote within one working day.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Let us know if the kitchen gets busier
- Never pour used oil down the sink
- Act on gurgling or smelly drains
- Use strainers in the sink plugholes
Between cleans, keep food scraps out of the sink. Use strainers in the sink plugholes before they reach the trap.
More cooking means more grease in the trap. Shortening the cleaning interval now stops it overflowing.
Common questions in Huntercombe
Which council inspects kitchens in Huntercombe?
Food hygiene inspections in Huntercombe are carried out by Slough council. Photos from a deep clean are a simple record of what was done and when.
Do you work overnight in Huntercombe?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. That way a site in Huntercombe doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
It depends on the building. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, facilities manager or managing agent.
Do you clean under-sink and inline grease traps?
We clean all the common types. A photo helps us see what’s fitted and we’ll confirm.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so we can schedule a run of sites on one programme. Each site gets its own report and pictures.
What accreditations do you have?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
By covering it before any work starts. We keep the work contained and leave the area clean.
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 and causes blockages. Regular cleaning prevents it.
What happens on the day
We’re used to working while the site is closed. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so the site can open as normal afterwards. On site, the work takes an hour or two in most kitchens, depending on the size and condition of the trap. Visits to a place like Huntercombe are planned ahead, so we arrive with what the survey says the job needs.
- We agree a time when the sinks are not needed.
- We open the trap and look at its condition.
- We remove the grease layer and settled solids.
- The inside, baffles and outlet are cleaned.
- We close it up, check it drains and suggest when it needs cleaning again.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
How to get a quote
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Call or email with a few details and you will usually have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
