What your team can do, and what needs us

Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.

Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.

How we handle grease trap cleaning in Jealott's Hill

Once a trap is full, grease passes straight through. Fat sets in the pipes downstream and the result is blocked drains and bad smells. A trap that is cleaned regularly keeps grease where it belongs. The work covers under-sink grease traps, school and care home kitchens and inline grease traps, and people most often call us about a bad smell from the sinks or drains and a slow-draining kitchen sink.

For a kitchen in or near Jealott's Hill, 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.

We have been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we’re fully insured.

Different parts, different methods

Under-sink grease traps

Under-sink units are easy to forget. When they fill, the sink slows and starts to smell.

Inline grease traps

Inline traps are fitted into the drain line. They hold more than under-sink units but still fill up.

Between visits

Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:

  • Never pour used oil down the sink
  • Scrape plates and pans into the bin before washing up
  • Use strainers in the sink plugholes
  • Don’t store things on top of the trap

We take the grease and solids away. Nothing is left for you to dispose of when we are done.

More cooking means more grease in the trap. Booking cleans more often keeps the drains flowing.

When to call us in Jealott's Hill

For a kitchen in Jealott's Hill or anywhere else, the trap is out of sight and out of mind. Hidden under a sink or in a floor it’s often left until there’s a problem.

Any of these means the system needs a check-up:

  • Sinks that drain slowly
  • A regular cleaning plan for the grease trap
  • A kitchen drain that smells
  • A blocked kitchen drain caused by grease

If you run a care home or healthcare kitchen near Jealott's Hill (the nearest hospital is Heatherwood Hospital, about 4.1 miles south-east), a grease trap on a set schedule avoids a blocked drain mid-service.

Questions to ask before you book

  • When the next visit should be, and why
  • Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
  • What happens if part of the system cannot be accessed
  • If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate

Our hiring checklist

What affects the cost of grease trap cleaning

Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:

  • The condition of the system
  • When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
  • The size of the system
  • Site rules, permits and inductions

When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before we start.

Asking for a quote

What to send for a quote:

  • The times we could work without disrupting the site
  • Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
  • Any access panels or hatches you can see
  • Where the site is and what kind of site it is

Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Send a few details and photos, and we typically reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.

What grease trap cleaning looks like in Jealott's Hill

Jealott's Hill, about 28 miles from central London, is within our usual area. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours. It’s Bracknell Forest council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Jealott's Hill. An inspection covers the structure of the kitchen as well as the food. Having the dates of the last deep clean to hand saves digging for them on the day.

If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Michael and All Angels or elsewhere in Jealott's Hill, a deep clean and an emptied grease trap before a busy season of events are worth booking. St Leonard's Hill, about 4.5 miles east, is one of the historic houses around Jealott's Hill; event kitchens at places like that work in bursts, so a deep clean after a busy season helps.

The process

A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, do the work, clear away and leave you the report. On site, the work takes less than an hour for many under-sink units. For a village or hamlet like Jealott's Hill, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.

  1. We start by finding the trap and checking its inlet and outlet.
  2. The sinks feeding the trap are kept out of use while we work.
  3. We take out the layer of fat, oil and grease and any solids.
  4. Every part of the trap is scraped and cleaned, including the baffles.
  5. The trap is reassembled, checked for leaks and the waste taken away.

How to prepare

  • Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
  • Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
  • Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system

Book as early as you can for planned work, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.

Grease and food waste build up until the trap stops working. Slow drains, bad smells and blockages follow.
