How we handle grease trap cleaning in Ludgershall
Every trap is different. Under-sink units are small and fill quickly and larger traps hold more grease before they fill. We look at the trap, how much the kitchen uses it and how quickly it fills before suggesting how often it needs cleaning. We are often asked to deal with a kitchen drain that smells and drains that gurgle and bubble, on pot wash sinks, under-sink grease traps and school and care home kitchens.
In rural areas, a kitchen may drain to a private system rather than a public sewer, and fat getting past a grease trap can cause real trouble there.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

The process
Your staff do not need to do much on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. If you can send pictures, we can arrive in Ludgershall knowing what to expect.
- We start by finding the trap and checking its inlet and outlet.
- Nothing drains into the trap while it’s open.
- Built-up fat, oil and grease is removed from the trap.
- We clean the chambers, baffles and connections.
- Once it’s refitted, water is run through to check it drains, and we take the waste with us.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Clear the space around the work
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend

Advice
How we price grease trap cleaning
Every site gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Parking and loading at the site
- How easy every part is to reach
- The times the site is available
- How big the system is
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.
Asking for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Send what you can of the following:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- The site address and the type of premises
- Problems your staff have spotted
For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. You will typically have a quote within one working day.
Why act early in Ludgershall
A smelly, overflowing trap attracts pests. Keeping the trap clean removes something they’re looking for, alongside good kitchen hygiene. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
The cost depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.

What grease trap cleaning looks like in Ludgershall
Kitchens in Ludgershall get their food hygiene inspections from Buckinghamshire council. They look at the cleanliness of the whole kitchen: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment. Photos and dates from each deep clean make a useful record. Ludgershall, about 47 miles from central London, is within our usual area. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site.
If you run a care home or healthcare kitchen near Ludgershall (the nearest hospital is Bicester Community Hospital, about 5.8 miles north-west), a grease trap on a set schedule avoids a blocked drain mid-service.

Where a church or community hall near Church of St Mary, or anywhere in Ludgershall, has a kitchen used by volunteers, a periodic deep clean keeps it ready for the next event.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
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, alongside our reports.
Different parts, different methods
Inline grease traps
Inline traps are fitted into the drain line. They hold more than under-sink units but still need regular emptying.
Baffles and outlets
We check the inlet, outlet and baffles at each clean so the trap works as it should.
Ludgershall: your questions answered
Can you get to a site in Ludgershall?
Yes, Ludgershall is part of our area, however small the site. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Can you work in Ludgershall outside opening hours?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. It means the site in Ludgershall keeps running as normal. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for anything that cannot wait until a planned visit. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
Not in itself. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19® as the benchmark, and many insurers ask for proof of cleaning to it. The law behind it is the Fire Safety Order 2005 in England and Wales.
Do you deal with blocked drains beyond the grease trap?
A trap clean removes the grease in the trap, and can clear the problem where the trap was the cause. A blockage deeper in the drains needs a drainage specialist.
Do you take the waste away?
We take the grease and solids away with us. Nothing greasy is left on site after the visit.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, to suit the system and how it’s used.
Which accreditations do you hold?
