Grease trap cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Old Windsor
Smells from the sink, gurgling drains or slow drainage all point to the grease trap. In Old Windsor, as everywhere we work, our team empties and cleans the trap and run water through to check it drains. We are often asked to deal with an under-sink trap that keeps filling up and grease setting in the kitchen pipework, on pot wash sinks, restaurants and takeaways and inline grease traps.
For a kitchen near Old Windsor, deep cleans are booked around opening hours, often on a closed day, and the journey is planned ahead.
A written report with photos follows every visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Questions from Old Windsor
Do you work at weekends in Old Windsor?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. It means the site in Old Windsor keeps running as normal. Just ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Can a school kitchen in Old Windsor be done out of term time?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. With about 10 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Old Windsor, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Send us your term dates when you call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we will fit the work in.
How much time does a grease trap clean need?
Most grease trap cleans take anything from under an hour to a few hours, depending on the trap, including testing. We plan the visit around your service.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a single café to a large school. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, fully. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it for clients who vet their contractors.
Do we need to close while you work?
Typically not. Out-of-hours visits keep the disruption down. Larger jobs can be phased over several visits to keep things running.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. We always survey first, either from photos and details you send or on a site visit. Then you get a fixed quote.
Does the report say when we need you again?
Yes. The report recommends when the next visit should be, based on use and what we found.
What grease trap cleaning cannot fix
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- A unit that can’t cope with the kitchen’s output
- Sewer problems outside the premises
- Collapsed or damaged drains, which need a drainage contractor
If you are not sure, just call 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will give you a straight answer.
What the work covers
- Kitchen waste pipes
- Under-sink grease traps

What happens on the day
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool before any work starts, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes less than an hour for many under-sink units. Your opening hours decide when we come to Old Windsor, not ours.
- We locate the trap and check how it’s fitted.
- Sinks feeding the trap are taken out of use.
- We empty out the fat, oil, grease and solids.
- We clean every part of the inside.
- We refit it, run water through and remove the waste.
Before we arrive
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas

What grease trap cleaning looks like in Old Windsor
Food Standards Agency records list about 13 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens across Old Windsor and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). A grease trap in kitchens like these fills steadily and needs emptying before it overflows. It’s Windsor and Maidenhead council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Old Windsor. 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.
King Edward VII Hospital, about 1.8 miles north-west, is the nearest hospital to Old Windsor; healthcare kitchens cannot stop cooking, so deep cleans are worked around meal times.

Historic houses such as Frogmore House (about 1.3 miles north-west) are part of the area around Old Windsor, and if you run event catering at a venue like that, a deep clean between seasons helps.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
When your team notices a problem 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 can diagnose it and quote.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- Keep strainers in every sink
- Keep access to the trap clear
- Collect waste cooking oil separately
- Let us know if the kitchen gets busier
The sinks are ready to use as soon as we have finished. Water is run through to check everything flows before we leave.
An overfull trap lets grease pass. Cleaning it before it’s full keeps grease out of the drains and avoids a blockage.
How the job changes from site to site
Under-sink grease traps
An under-sink trap is out of sight. When they fill, the sink slows and starts to smell.
Inline grease traps
Inline traps often take waste from several sinks or appliances. That means more grease, so regular cleaning matters.
