Wokingham · Grease trap cleaning
Ruscombe grease trap cleaning
For emptying and cleaning of under-sink and inline grease traps in commercial kitchens in Ruscombe, one call is all it takes, from survey to sign-off. Fully insured, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001.
- Gurgling from the sink waste
- An interceptor full of grease and solids
- A blocked kitchen drain caused by grease
Keeping the system healthy
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Do not rely on hot water to clear grease
- Keep the grease trap on a regular cleaning schedule
- Keep strainers in every sink
- Make sure the trap can be reached easily
Scrape plates into the bin before washing up. Sink strainers help catch solids before they reach the trap.
If the sinks are slow or smelly, the trap may be full. Getting it cleaned now can stop a full blockage later.
Grease trap cleaning in Ruscombe
A clean trap means flowing drains and no foul smells. The fat, oil, grease and solids are taken out, clean the inside and the baffles, and check the trap is working properly. If you are dealing with a full, neglected grease trap and a small trap that fills too quickly, we can put it right, from inline grease traps, restaurants and takeaways and pot wash sinks onwards.
In a village or hamlet like Ruscombe, commercial kitchens are few, perhaps a pub, a school or a care home. Wherever there is one, it needs its grease trap and hard-to-reach areas kept clean.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.

What the work involves, part by part
Baffles and outlets
Clean water leaves through the outlet. A blocked outlet stops the trap working.
School, care home and staff kitchens
Drains in care settings need to keep flowing. Visits are planned between meals.
Questions from Ruscombe
Do you work in school kitchens around Ruscombe out of term?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. Food Standards Agency records list about 6 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Ruscombe. You can call 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the dates the site is empty.
Which environmental health team covers Ruscombe?
The local authority for Ruscombe is Wokingham council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. Keep the dates of your last deep clean and grease trap visit with your food safety records, ready if an officer asks.
How much time does a grease trap clean need?
The size and state of the trap make the difference, and you can expect it to take less than an hour for many under-sink units. We will confirm when we quote.
Is Ruscombe in your area?
Yes. We cover Ruscombe and across Wokingham, within our South East and London area. To book, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
What accreditations do you have?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
What problems does a full grease trap cause?
A full trap cannot catch any more grease. It then sets in the drains, causing blockages and smells, and can add to fatbergs in the sewer.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before we start, and anything we remove is contained. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line, for problems that cannot wait. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
Honest limits
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Drains that are cracked or have collapsed
- A grease trap that is too small for the kitchen
- Grease deep in the drains, which needs jetting by a drainage contractor
If you’re not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Advice
When to call us in Ruscombe
The more a kitchen cooks and washes up, the quicker the trap fills. A trap that suited a quieter kitchen can struggle when cooking increases.
Most sites get in touch when they notice something like this:
- A regular cleaning plan for the grease trap
- A kitchen drain that smells
- An under-sink trap that keeps filling up
- Drains that gurgle and bubble
Healthcare kitchens cook through the year, so a deep clean has to be fitted around meals; Royal Berkshire Hospital, about 4.9 miles south-west, is the nearest hospital to Ruscombe.

There are about 19 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 4 takeaways within about 1.5 miles of central Ruscombe, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Kitchens like these wash fat, oil and grease down the sink every day, and a grease trap is what stops it reaching the sewer.

A record of each deep clean helps show the kitchen is kept in order.
