Grease trap cleaning in Streatley, Oxfordshire
Looking for grease trap cleaning in Streatley? We survey first, send you a fixed quote and work around your opening hours, finishing with a written report and photos.
- An inline trap or interceptor due for cleaning
- A small trap that fills too quickly
- Sinks that drain slowly
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
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, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
About our grease trap cleaning in Streatley
No two traps are quite the same. Under-sink units are small and fill quickly, while inline traps and interceptors hold more. We look at the trap, how much the kitchen uses it and how quickly it fills and suggest an interval that suits. We are often asked to deal with a bad smell from the sinks or drains and sinks that drain slowly, across under-sink grease traps, restaurants and takeaways and inline grease traps.
For a kitchen in or near Streatley, the visit is planned ahead, around opening times and the journey.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

Signs you need grease trap cleaning in Streatley
Waste cooking oil poured down the sink overloads the trap fast. Small amounts soon build up.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- A slow-draining kitchen sink
- A blocked kitchen drain caused by grease
- Foul odours from the grease trap
- A regular cleaning plan for the grease trap
Historic houses such as Basildon Park (about 2.1 miles south-east) are part of the area around Streatley, and if you run event catering at a venue like that, a deep clean between seasons helps.
Questions to ask before you book

Leave it or put it right?
A blocked drain can stop a kitchen in its tracks. Water won’t drain away and waste water can come back up. Cleaning the grease trap on time helps prevent it. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Streatley rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.

When it’s something else
Grease trap cleaning cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It does not solve:
- Drains that are cracked or have collapsed
- A grease trap that’s too small for the kitchen
- Blockages further down the drainage network
If you are not sure, just call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

How the visit works
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes less than an hour for many under-sink units. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Streatley.
- We find the trap and check how it’s connected.
- Nothing drains into the trap while it’s open.
- Built-up fat, oil and grease is removed from the trap.
- We clean the chambers, baffles and connections.
- We put it back together, run water through and remove the waste.
Preparing for the visit
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Let us know about parking and loading

Questions from Streatley
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Streatley?
In Streatley, it’s West Berkshire council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Keep the dates of your last deep clean and grease trap visit with your food safety records, ready if an officer asks.
Is Streatley within the area you cover?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Streatley is covered. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Are you insured?
Yes. We carry full insurance, and we’ve been trading since 2009.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and we’ll quote them together.
Do I get a report after the visit?
Yes. You get a written report with photos after every visit, covering the work, any areas we couldn’t access and the recommended next date. Kitchen extract cleans to TR19® Grease also get a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
What should go in our maintenance log?
Visit reports, certificates and your in-house cleaning logs. They’re what an insurer, fire officer or EHO may ask for, so keep them where they can be found quickly.
Do you take the waste away?
It’s removed from site when we leave. Your staff do not have to handle it once the clean is done.
How regularly does a grease trap need emptying?
That depends on the trap and the kitchen. Small under-sink units fill faster than larger traps and the busier the kitchen, the faster it fills. We will recommend a schedule once we’ve seen it.
Aftercare tips
So the system stays in good health:
- Tell us when sinks start draining slowly
- Hot water only moves grease further down
- Never pour used oil down the sink
- Use strainers in the sink plugholes
Collect waste cooking oil separately rather than pouring it down the sink and the trap will not fill as quickly. It makes a real difference.
More cooking means more grease in the trap. Shortening the cleaning interval now keeps the drains flowing.
