About our grease trap cleaning in Oare
Every trap is different. Under-sink traps are compact and need frequent attention and larger traps hold more grease before they fill. We assess the trap and how fast it fills before suggesting how often it needs cleaning. If you have a kitchen drain that smells and scheduled grease trap emptying, we can put it right, from inline grease traps, pot wash sinks and school and care home kitchens onwards.
For a kitchen in or near Oare, the visit is planned ahead, around opening times and the journey.
We’ve 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 carry full insurance.

What we’re called out for in Oare
A full trap cannot hold any more grease. It goes on into the drain and the sewer beyond, where it can cause blockages.
Clients typically contact us after spotting one of these:
- Drains that gurgle and bubble
- An overdue grease trap
- A kitchen drain that smells
- A blocked kitchen drain caused by grease
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Hermitage Primary School or anywhere near Oare, the holidays are the time for a deep clean or a grease trap clean.

Part by part
Inline grease traps
Inline traps often take waste from several sinks or appliances. That means more grease, so regular cleaning matters.
Under-sink grease traps
Under-sink units are easy to forget. When they fill, the sink slows and starts to smell.
Oare kitchens: local notes
Environmental health officers from West Berkshire council inspect food businesses in Oare. Walls, floors, ceilings and equipment are all part of what they look at. Keeping a record of deep cleans and grease trap visits helps at inspection time. Oare is about 51 miles from central London, well within the area we cover across London and the South East. Visits are booked around your hours, evenings and weekends included.
Where a church or community hall near Church of St Bartholomew, or anywhere in Oare, 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 (Shaw House is about 4 miles south-west), deep cleans can be fitted between bookings.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Oare
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so records stay tidy.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Keeping the system healthy
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Use strainers in the sink plugholes
- Scrape plates and pans into the bin before washing up
- Book trap cleans at a set interval
- Act on gurgling or smelly drains
Between cleans, keep food scraps out of the sink. Sink strainers help catch solids so less solid waste gets through.
An overfull trap lets grease pass. Regular emptying keeps it working and saves a call-out for a blocked drain.

The process
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and it goes on the report too. The visit takes an hour or so for an under-sink trap, longer for a larger unit. In a small place like Oare, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- 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.
- The trap is emptied of grease and food waste.
- Every part of the trap is scraped and cleaned, including the baffles.
- We put it back together, run water through and remove the waste.
Before we arrive
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
