Commercial kitchens in Peasemore
Food hygiene inspections in Peasemore are the job of West Berkshire council’s environmental health team. Walls, floors, ceilings and equipment are all part of what they look at. Photos and dates from each deep clean make a useful record. We cover Peasemore, about 54 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site.
Hall and church kitchens, near Church of St Barnabas or anywhere around Peasemore, are used by many hands, and periodic deep cleans and grease trap visits keep them in order.
Peasemore is about 7 miles north of Newbury, in West Berkshire.

Grease trap cleaning in Peasemore, done properly
A neglected grease trap stops doing its job. Further down the pipe, the grease cools and hardens, leading to slow drains, blockages and smells. Regular cleaning keeps it working. We are often asked to deal with a routine grease trap service and a kitchen drain that smells, on school and care home kitchens, inline grease traps and restaurants and takeaways.
Rural kitchens may drain to a septic tank or a private drain rather than straight into a public sewer, so keeping fat out with a working grease trap matters even more.
Duct Doctor has 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’re fully insured.

Part by part
Restaurant and takeaway kitchens
Visits are booked when the sinks are not in use so the kitchen isn’t disrupted.
Inline grease traps
Several sinks may drain into one inline trap. More waste means faster filling.
Why deal with it now?
Some kitchens try to fix slow drains with hot water or drain cleaners. It just shifts the grease further along to set somewhere harder to reach. The lasting fix starts with the trap. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Peasemore is calmer for everyone.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are unsure, call 0345 646 2711 or email us for straight advice and a fixed quote.

What staff can safely do
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
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. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
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 can quote for the whole system.
What happens on the day
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 two in most kitchens, depending on the size and condition of the trap. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Peasemore.
- We find the trap and check how it’s connected.
- We ask for the sinks that drain into the trap not to be used.
- The trap is emptied of grease and food waste.
- We clean the chambers, baffles and connections.
- We put it back together, run water through and remove the waste.
How to prepare
- Move anything stored near the system
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
Getting a quote
To help us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, a few photos and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.

Signs you need grease trap cleaning in Peasemore
Oil tipped down the drain instead of being collected overloads the trap fast. Small amounts soon build up.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Gurgling from the sink waste
- A full, neglected grease trap
- Washing-up water that will not drain away
- A bad smell from the sinks or drains
A deep clean in Peasemore covers walls, floors, ceilings and equipment, done while the kitchen is shut.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether they’re fully insured
- When the next visit should be, and why
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or photos
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
Aftercare tips
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Let us know if the kitchen gets busier
- Do not wait for a blockage to book a clean
- Get food waste into the bin, not the sink
- Don’t store things on top of the trap
Anything we notice beyond the trap, like a slow drain downstream, is pointed out. That may need a drainage contractor to look further.
If the sinks are slow or smelly, the trap may be full. Getting it cleaned now can stop a full blockage later.
Questions from Peasemore
Do you work at weekends in Peasemore?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. Your customers, staff or residents in Peasemore needn’t be disturbed. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Will you come out to Peasemore?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Peasemore included. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Where does the grease from the trap go?
We take it away. Your staff don’t have to handle it once the clean is done.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. We always survey first, from your pictures and details, or with a visit where necessary. Then you get a fixed quote.
How much notice should we give?
The more notice, the better, especially for out-of-hours work. We normally quote within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
What accreditations do you have?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
Can you give me a price for grease trap cleaning?
Every trap is different, so we quote once we know what you have. We give you a fixed price, usually within one working day.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19® is the recognised way to show grease is under control.
