Grease trap cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Twyford
Kitchens in Twyford use us for grease trap cleaning, whether it’s an under-sink unit or a larger inline trap. We come when the sinks aren’t needed so washing up is not interrupted. The work covers pot wash sinks, under-sink grease traps and restaurants and takeaways, and the jobs we see most are an under-sink trap that keeps filling up and foul odours from the grease trap.
For a kitchen near Twyford, deep cleans are booked around opening hours, often on a closed day.

Common questions in Twyford
Can you work in school kitchens in Twyford during the holidays?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. With about 4 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Twyford, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Send us your term dates when you ring 0345 646 2711 or email us, and we will fit the work in.
Can you get to a site in Twyford?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Twyford is covered. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so we can schedule a run of sites as one programme. Every site has its own report.
What accreditations do you have?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
Why does a grease trap need regular cleaning?
An overfull trap lets grease into the drains. There it hardens on the pipe walls and causes blockages. Regular cleaning prevents it.
Where does the grease from the trap go?
The waste leaves with us. You’re not left with anything to dispose of when we go.
What types of grease trap do you clean?
Under-sink and inline grease traps, and larger interceptors. They’re emptied, cleaned and checked whatever the size.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it, and the quote is based on that.
Keeping the system healthy
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Keep strainers in every sink
- Let us know if the kitchen gets busier
- Hot water only moves grease further down
- Get food waste into the bin, not the sink
We will suggest when the trap should be cleaned again. It’s based on how full it was and how busy the kitchen is.
More cooking means more grease in the trap. Shortening the cleaning interval now stops it overflowing.

Why it’s worth doing now in Twyford
A full grease trap lets grease through to the drains. It hardens on the pipe walls until water cannot get through. Regular trap cleaning beats dealing with a blockage. Systems on quieter sites still build up dirt and wear, just more slowly.
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you’ll get one fixed quote.

How the visit works
We are used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. On site, the work takes anything from under an hour to a few hours, depending on the trap. Tell us when your site near Twyford is quiet and the visit will be booked for then.
- First, we find the trap and look at its connections.
- Sinks feeding the trap are taken out of use.
- We empty out the fat, oil, grease and solids.
- The chambers and baffles are cleaned.
- The trap is refitted, tested with water and the waste taken away.
How to prepare
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
How to get a quote
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Call or email with a few details and you’ll usually have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.

How we price grease trap cleaning
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The scale of the work
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.
What to send for a quote
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Problems your staff have spotted
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room

Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your pictures and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before work begins.
How the job changes from site to site
School, care home and staff kitchens
Kitchens with fixed mealtimes build up grease more predictably. A regular interval suits them well.
Inline grease traps
An inline trap sits in the pipework between the kitchen and the drain. They’re larger than under-sink traps but still need regular emptying.
