About our grease trap cleaning in Remenham Hill
No two traps are quite the same. Under-sink traps are compact and need frequent attention and larger traps hold more grease before they fill. We look at the trap, how much the kitchen uses it and how quickly it fills and suggest an interval that suits. If you have a slow-draining kitchen sink and a kitchen drain that smells, we can put it right.
Somewhere as small as Remenham Hill, the kitchens that need a deep clean are normally a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still needs the occasional deep clean and its grease trap kept clear.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

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 anything from under an hour to a few hours, depending on the trap. Somewhere as small as Remenham Hill, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- 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.
- The trap is reassembled, checked for leaks and the waste taken away.
Before we arrive
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions

Between visits
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Collect waste cooking oil separately
- Do not wait for a blockage to book a clean
- Keep strainers in every sink
- Make sure the trap can be reached easily
We will suggest when the trap should be cleaned again. It’s based on how full it was and how busy the kitchen is.
If the sinks are slow or smelly, the trap may be full. Acting at this stage usually prevents a blockage down the line.

What happens if it’s left?
In Remenham Hill, as anywhere, grease trap cleaning is a short, routine visit. A blocked drain is an emergency and typically at the worst moment. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Remenham Hill rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are unsure, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form for straight advice and a fixed quote.
What you get with us
- Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus 24/7 emergency callout
- We’re fully insured
- A written report with pictures after each visit

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Remenham Hill
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.
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.
Grease trap cleaning in Remenham Hill: local notes
Look up Remenham Hill on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 4 food manufacturers and packers in Remenham Hill and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Food production can send a lot of fat, oil and grease towards the drains, so traps and interceptors need emptying on a schedule. Kitchens in Remenham Hill get their food hygiene inspections from Wokingham council. 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.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Marlow Community Hospital (about 5.1 miles north-east), cook for long hours, so deep cleans and grease trap work are planned around patients’ meals. Half-term is a good time for school kitchens, at schools like Rupert House School for instance, to have the grease trap emptied and the kitchen deep cleaned. If you run event catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Greenlands is about 1.7 miles north), a deep clean before or after the busy season is worth planning.

- Blockages further down the drainage network
- Drains that need jetting rather than trap cleaning

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.
