West Berkshire · Grease trap cleaning
Grease trap cleaning in Speenhamland, West Berkshire
Grease trap cleaning for Speenhamland, from a team that has been trading since 2009. Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus a 24/7 emergency line.
- A slow-draining kitchen sink
- An interceptor full of grease and solids
- An overdue grease trap
How the visit works
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, carry out the grease trap cleaning, clear away and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself takes a short visit for a small trap and longer for an inline unit or interceptor. Because the survey comes first, a visit to Speenhamland can usually be finished without a second trip.
- We agree a time when the sinks aren’t needed.
- We open the trap and look at its condition.
- We remove the grease layer and settled solids.
- We clean the baffles, inlet and outlet.
- The trap is closed, tested and the next clean discussed.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions

Grease trap cleaning in Speenhamland, done properly
Smells from the sink, gurgling drains or slow drainage all point to the grease trap. In Speenhamland, as everywhere we work, our team empties and cleans the trap, then check the water flows properly. If you’re dealing with a kitchen drain that smells and an overdue grease trap, we can help, from under-sink grease traps, pot wash sinks and kitchen waste pipes onwards.
In a smaller place like Speenhamland, commercial kitchens are more likely to be a pub, a café, a takeaway or a school or care home kitchen. Smaller kitchens still collect grease behind equipment and in the drains.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That’s why every job is written up in a report with pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
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, alongside our reports.
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, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
What the work involves, part by part
Inline grease traps
Inline traps may be under a floor panel or in a cupboard. We ask about access when we quote.
Under-sink grease traps
Under-sink units are easy to forget. A full one shows itself with a slow, smelly sink.

The state of floors, drains and hard-to-reach corners all feeds into the inspection. A cleaning log that includes deep cleans and grease trap visits shows the work is planned.

Speenhamland: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Speenhamland?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Which environmental health team covers Speenhamland?
Kitchens in Speenhamland are inspected by West Berkshire council’s environmental health officers. Photos from a deep clean are a simple record of what was done and when.
What do you do with the waste?
We take the grease and solids away with us. You’re not left with anything to dispose of after the visit.
Do you recommend a next date?
Yes. We put a recommended next date on the report. For kitchen extracts, BESA’s minimum intervals run from every 3 months for heavy use to every 12 months for light use, while fire dampers are tested at least annually.
What problems does a full grease trap cause?
Grease escapes into the drains when the trap is full. It sets there and narrows the pipes and causes blockages. Keeping the trap clean stops that happening.
Where does the waste go?
We take it away at the end of the visit. While we work, it’s kept contained to keep the area clean.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, we’re fully insured. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor for clients who vet their contractors.
Which accreditations do you hold?
We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.
Aftercare tips
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Mention any increase in cooking
- Scrape plates and pans into the bin before washing up
- Book trap cleans at a set interval
- Keep waste oil out of the drains
Scrape plates into the bin before washing up. Use strainers in the sink plugholes so less solid waste gets through.
A fixed cleaning interval means the trap never gets overfull. The interval is set to suit the trap and the kitchen.
