About our grease trap cleaning in Newbury's
In Newbury's, we time grease trap visits so the sinks are not needed. The trap is emptied, cleaned and checked, and the waste is taken away. It can be booked on its own or alongside other kitchen work. Common call-outs are for an under-sink trap that keeps filling up and drains that gurgle and bubble, across restaurants and takeaways, pot wash sinks and school and care home kitchens.
For a kitchen in or near Newbury's, 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. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

Aftercare tips
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Hot water only moves grease further down
- Act on gurgling or smelly drains
- Don’t wait for a blockage to book a clean
- Scrape plates and pans into the bin before washing up
Scrape plates into the bin before washing up. Sink strainers help catch solids so less solid waste gets through.
Fat that escapes the trap hardens in the pipework. Clearing it then is a bigger job, so it’s far better to keep the trap clean.

Grease trap cleaning in Newbury's: local notes
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 3 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 3 takeaways in and around Newbury's, up to about a mile and a half out. Each of them sends fat, oil and grease towards the drain, which is why grease traps need regular emptying. Environmental health officers from Wealden council inspect food businesses in Newbury's. Grease behind equipment or on a ceiling is the kind of thing an inspection can note. Keeping a record of deep cleans and grease trap visits helps at inspection time.
Where a church or community hall near Rehoboth Chapel, or anywhere in Newbury's, has a kitchen used by volunteers, a periodic deep clean keeps it ready for the next event. If you cater for weddings or events at a historic house in the area (Wadhurst Castle is about 1.5 miles south-west), deep cleans can be fitted between bookings.

How the job changes from site to site
Grease interceptors
An interceptor works on the same principle as a smaller trap. Cooling water lets grease rise and solids settle.
School, care home and staff kitchens
Kitchens with fixed mealtimes build up grease more predictably. Planned cleaning fits their routine.
Signs you need grease trap cleaning in Newbury's
Food scraps go down the sink with the washing-up water. Solids settle at the bottom of the trap and fill it from below.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- An under-sink unit that needs regular emptying
- Sinks that drain slowly
- Drains that gurgle and bubble
- Scheduled grease trap emptying
Ticehurst House Hospital, about 2.9 miles south-east, is the nearest hospital to Newbury's; healthcare kitchens cannot stop cooking, so deep cleans are worked around meal times.

Where does the waste go?
We take it away at the end of the visit. During the work, it’s contained to keep the area clean.
Will cleaning the grease trap fix a blocked drain?

How the visit works
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the photos you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, it takes less than an hour for many under-sink units. Somewhere like Newbury's, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
