Grease trap cleaning in Leverton, done properly
Kitchens in Leverton use us for grease trap cleaning, whether it’s an under-sink unit or a larger inline trap. We come when the sinks are not needed, so the kitchen keeps running. The work covers inline grease traps, restaurants and takeaways and pot wash sinks, and the jobs we see most are a full, neglected grease trap and a kitchen drain that smells.
In a village or hamlet like Leverton, commercial kitchens are few, perhaps a pub, a school or a care home. Wherever there is one, it needs its grease trap and hard-to-reach areas kept clean.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with pictures of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so records stay tidy.

Looking after it afterwards
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Act on gurgling or smelly drains
- Collect waste cooking oil separately
- Scrape plates and pans into the bin before washing up
- Fit sink strainers to catch food scraps
Between cleans, keep food scraps out of the sink. Use strainers in the sink plugholes so less solid waste gets through.
A trap that’s left too long stops catching grease. Regular emptying keeps it working and avoids a blockage.
What we do, step by step
There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, while signing off means the written report and pictures. Most of the time goes on the work itself, and that takes a short visit for a small trap and longer for an inline unit or interceptor. The timing of a visit to Leverton is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- First, we find the trap and look at its connections.
- Sinks feeding the trap are taken out of use.
- Grease and solids are removed from the trap.
- The chambers and baffles are cleaned.
- The trap is refitted, tested with water and the waste taken away.
Preparing for the visit
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive

FAQs for Leverton
Can you come to Leverton after we close?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The work in Leverton can fit around your hours. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Leverton?
Food hygiene inspections in Leverton are carried out by West Berkshire council. How often a business is inspected depends on the council’s risk rating for it, so the kitchen needs to be ready at any time.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not typically. The area we are working in has to be out of use while we are there, so we book a time when it would be closed anyway.
Where does the grease from the trap go?
The fat, oil, grease and solids we remove go with us. None of it goes back into the drains, of course.
What paperwork should we keep on file?
Each report and certificate we give you, filed in the maintenance log, along with your own cleaning log. BESA says certificates should show the date, location and technician.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, plus food production and leisure sites.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Photos often do the job, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
Which grease traps does the service cover?
We clean all the common types. A photo helps us see what’s fitted when you ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.

Part by part
Baffles and outlets
Every clean includes the baffles, inlet and outlet so water flows freely.
Grease interceptors
Interceptors separate grease the same way, on a larger scale. Cooling water lets grease rise and solids settle.
What your team can do, and what needs us
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.

Food Standards Agency records include about 6 pubs and bars within about 1.5 miles of central Leverton. Any of them serving food has a kitchen that collects grease out of sight and drains that need protecting. In Leverton, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from West Berkshire council. An inspection covers the structure of the kitchen as well as the food. Keeping a record of deep cleans and grease trap visits helps at inspection time.
Hall and church kitchens, near Church of St Mary or anywhere around Leverton, are used by many hands, and periodic deep cleans and grease trap visits keep them in order. Historic houses such as Ramsbury Manor (about 4.6 miles west) are part of the area around Leverton, and if you run event catering at a venue like that, a deep clean between seasons helps.
