Grease trap cleaning in Stockcross, done properly
Once a trap is full, grease passes straight through. Further down the pipe, the grease cools and hardens and the result is blocked drains and bad smells. A trap that’s cleaned regularly keeps grease where it belongs. The work covers inline grease traps, restaurants and takeaways and under-sink grease traps, and the jobs we see most are a larger grease trap that needs emptying and a bad smell from the sinks or drains.
Somewhere as small as Stockcross, the kitchens that need a deep clean are typically a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Wherever there is one, it needs its grease trap and hard-to-reach areas kept clean.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

Stockcross questions
Can you work in Stockcross outside opening hours?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. That way a site in Stockcross does not have to lose a day’s trading. Just call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Stockcross?
That’s West Berkshire council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Stockcross. Photos from a deep clean are a simple record of what was done and when.
Are you accredited?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We’ve been trading since 2009 and we are fully insured.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
They’re marked on the report. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, and we can fit those.
Where does the grease from the trap go?
The waste leaves with us. You are not left with anything to dispose of after the visit.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Photos often do the job, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
Will cleaning the grease trap fix a blocked drain?
That depends on the cause. A full trap is a common cause, and cleaning it can help but grease set further down the drains needs jetting by a drainage specialist.
Do you work in Stockcross?
Yes. We cover Stockcross and across West Berkshire, as part of our work across South East England and London. To book, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
How the visit works
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the pictures you sent. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. From there, it takes a short visit for a small trap and longer for an inline unit or interceptor. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Stockcross.
- First, we find the trap and look at its connections.
- Sinks feeding the trap are taken out of use.
- Grease and solids are removed from the trap.
- We clean every part of the inside.
- We refit it, run water through and remove the waste.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
How to get a quote
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, and then send you a fixed quote. To get going, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Related advice
Different parts, different methods
Restaurant and takeaway kitchens
Busy kitchens with lots of washing-up fill traps fast. A shorter cleaning interval usually suits them.
Inline grease traps
Inline traps often take waste from several sinks or appliances. That means more grease, so regular cleaning matters.
What affects the cost of grease trap cleaning
Sites vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- How easy every part is to reach
- What state the system is in
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- How many systems or sites are involved
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before we start.
Helping us quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Useful things to send:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- The site address and the type of premises
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts.
What we are called out for in Stockcross
Hot water and detergent carry grease further than you’d expect. Once it cools, it sets in the pipework or the drain.
Most sites get in touch when they notice something like this:
- A slow-draining kitchen sink
- Drains clogged with fat
- A routine grease trap service
- Foul odours from the grease trap
For schools such as Stockcross C.E. School, deep cleans and grease trap work are normally booked for the holidays.
What your quote should include
- Proof of insurance
- What records you’ll receive afterwards
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
Looking after it afterwards
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Keep access to the trap clear
- Never pour used oil down the sink
- Fit sink strainers to catch food scraps
- Do not wait for a blockage to book a clean
The waste we remove leaves with us. Nothing is left for you to dispose of after the visit.
More cooking means more grease in the trap. Booking cleans more often stops it overflowing.
