Why act early in Tickleback Row

No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.

About our grease trap cleaning in Tickleback Row
Think of the grease trap as a filter for the kitchen’s drains. Kept clean, it does its job quietly but left too long, it causes trouble. A regular clean keeps it healthy. The work covers school and care home kitchens, inline grease traps and pot wash sinks, and common reasons people get in touch are a grease trap that hasn’t been emptied in a long time and foul odours from the grease trap.
For a kitchen in or near Tickleback Row, the visit is planned ahead, around opening times and the journey.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

Honest limits
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so these are the things it won’t cover:

- Blockages further down the drainage network
- Broken pipework below ground
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

- Inline grease traps
- Under-sink grease traps
- Pot wash sinks
- School and care home kitchens
- Restaurants and takeaways
- Kitchen waste pipes
Aftercare tips
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Tell us when sinks start draining slowly
- Wipe grease off pans before washing them
- Let us know if the kitchen gets busier
- Book trap cleans at a set interval
The waste we remove leaves with us. Nothing is left for you to dispose of after the visit.
If the kitchen has got busier, the trap fills faster. Shortening the cleaning interval now keeps the drains flowing.
The process
We turn up at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool before work begins, and the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes anything from under an hour to a few hours, depending on the trap. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Tickleback Row.
- A visit is booked around your service.
- We open the trap and look at its condition.
- Built-up grease and food waste are taken out.
- We clean the baffles, inlet and outlet.
- We close it up, check it drains and suggest when it needs cleaning again.
How to prepare
- Move anything stored near the system
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms

Your questions about grease trap cleaning in Tickleback Row
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Tickleback Row?
The local authority for Tickleback Row is Bracknell Forest 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.
Do you cover smaller places like Tickleback Row?
Yes, Tickleback Row is part of our area, however small the site. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
What’s TR19?
A BESA specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark.
Do you recommend a next date?
Yes. The interval depends on how much the system is used and what we find and the report sets out why.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line, for problems that cannot wait. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
We never leave them off the paperwork. You’ll know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
What types of premises do you cover?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, as well as food production and leisure sites.
Can you clear our blocked drains as well?
A trap clean removes the grease in the trap and that may solve a slow drain caused by the trap. A blockage deeper in the drains needs a drainage specialist.
What the work involves, part by part
Inline grease traps
Access to an inline trap can be in a floor or cupboard. We check how to reach it before the visit.
Grease interceptors
Bigger kitchens may have a larger grease interceptor. With more capacity, they fill more slowly, but they still need regular emptying and cleaning.
Common problems we fix in Tickleback Row
A busy kitchen in Tickleback Row, or anywhere else, fills its grease trap faster. A trap that suited a quieter kitchen can struggle when cooking increases.
Clients normally contact us when they notice something like this:
- Sinks that drain slowly
- Drains clogged with fat
- An under-sink trap that keeps filling up
- An overdue grease trap
If you cater for weddings or events at a historic house in the area (St Leonard's Hill is about 4.7 miles east), deep cleans can be fitted between bookings.
What your quote should include
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- What insurance they carry
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or photos
