Grease trap cleaning in Littlewick Green
A grease trap is the kitchen drain’s first line of protection. When it’s looked after, you hardly know it’s there but left too long, it causes trouble. Routine cleaning keeps it in good working order. If you have scheduled grease trap emptying and an inline trap or interceptor due for cleaning, we can help, from school and care home kitchens, kitchen waste pipes and inline grease traps onwards.
Rural kitchens may drain to a septic tank or a private drain rather than straight into a public sewer, so keeping fat out with a working grease trap matters even more.
Every visit ends with a written report and pictures, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Questions from Littlewick Green
Do you clean school kitchens in Littlewick Green in the summer holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. Around Littlewick Green, the Food Standards Agency lists about 7 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Send us your term dates when you ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we will fit the work in.
Who inspects food businesses in Littlewick Green?
The local authority for Littlewick Green is Windsor and Maidenhead council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. Inspection results feed into the food hygiene rating published by the Food Standards Agency.
How much notice do you need?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
Which records should we keep?
The reports and certificates from each visit, plus your own logs. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs may all ask to see them, so keep them together and easy to find.
Do you cover Littlewick Green?
Yes. We cover Littlewick Green and across Windsor and Maidenhead, within our South East and London area. To book, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Duct Doctor is fully insured, and the details are available on request.
What problems does a full grease trap cause?
Grease escapes into the drains when the trap is full. There it hardens on the pipe walls until they block. Regular cleaning prevents it.
How often should a grease trap be cleaned?
It varies. We look at how full the trap is and how quickly it fills and we’ll advise on timing.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We’re happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
What staff can safely do
If your staff spot something 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 will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
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, alongside our reports.

Under-sink grease traps
An under-sink trap is out of sight. A full one shows itself with a slow, smelly sink.
Restaurant and takeaway kitchens
Kitchens that fry and wash up all day fill their traps quickly. A shorter cleaning interval normally suits them.
Common problems we fix in Littlewick Green
A full trap cannot hold any more grease. It then builds up in the drains and the sewer beyond, where it can cause blockages.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Drains clogged with fat
- An under-sink trap that keeps filling up
- An inline trap or interceptor due for cleaning
- Foul odours from the grease trap
Where a church or community hall near Saint John the Evangelist, or anywhere in Littlewick Green, has a kitchen used by volunteers, a periodic deep clean keeps it ready for the next event.

How the visit works
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes a short visit for a small trap and longer for an inline unit or interceptor. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Littlewick Green and turn up when the site is quiet.
- First, we locate the grease trap and look at the pipework around it.
- We ask for the sinks that drain into the trap not to be used.
- We take out the layer of fat, oil and grease and any solids.
- We clean the chambers, baffles and connections.
- The trap is reassembled, checked for leaks and the waste taken away.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards

Advice
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Don’t store things on top of the trap
- Let us know if the kitchen gets busier
- Keep the grease trap on a regular cleaning schedule
- Scrape plates and pans into the bin before washing up
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.
If the kitchen has got busier, the trap fills faster. Booking cleans more often stops it overflowing.
Grease trap cleaning around Littlewick Green

Pub and hotel kitchens get the same build-up behind equipment and in the grease trap as any other. It’s Windsor and Maidenhead council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Littlewick Green. The state of floors, drains and hard-to-reach corners all feeds into the inspection. Having the dates of the last deep clean to hand saves digging for them on the day.
A summer deep clean suits schools such as Burchetts Green CofE Infants' School, as the kitchen can be stripped back with no lunches to serve. Harleyford Manor, about 2.8 miles north, is one of the historic houses around Littlewick Green; event kitchens at places like that work in bursts, so a deep clean after a busy season helps.

What happens if it’s left?
Grease that gets past the trap doesn’t disappear. It can build up in the drains and join fatbergs in the sewer. Keeping it in the trap, and emptying the trap, is the responsible thing to do. Rural sites can’t always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we survey first, from photos or on site, and why the quote is fixed before we start.
