About our grease trap cleaning in Maidenhead
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. Typical jobs include a larger grease trap that needs emptying and an overdue grease trap, on pot wash sinks, school and care home kitchens and kitchen waste pipes.
Around a town like Maidenhead, the kitchens we deep clean tend to be pubs, restaurants, takeaways and school or care home kitchens. Each builds up grease where the daily clean can’t reach.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Do you need grease trap cleaning in Maidenhead?
Every pan and plate washed sends grease towards the drain. In the trap, they cool and separate, and the layer gets thicker day by day.
The symptoms we’re asked about most are:
- Sinks that drain slowly
- A kitchen drain that smells
- Drains that gurgle and bubble
- An interceptor full of grease and solids
If you run a café or takeaway near Maidenhead station, a deep clean overnight means the kitchen opens as normal next morning.
What your quote should include
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- Whether a survey comes first
- Proof of insurance
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Don’t rely on hot water to clear grease
- Don’t wait for a blockage to book a clean
- Keep waste oil out of the drains
- 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’ll tell you. It may need a drainage specialist to investigate.
If the kitchen has got busier, the trap fills faster. Shortening the cleaning interval now keeps the drains flowing.
FAQs for Maidenhead

In Maidenhead, it’s Windsor and Maidenhead council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Inspection results feed into the food hygiene rating published by the Food Standards Agency.

The right interval depends on your trap and your cooking. If the sinks start to drain slowly between cleans, it’s too long and we will adjust the schedule.

What staff can safely do
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Part by part
School, care home and staff kitchens
Kitchens that serve set mealtimes fill their traps more steadily. Planned cleaning fits their routine.
Baffles and outlets
We check the inlet, outlet and baffles at each clean so the trap works as it should.
