- A blocked kitchen drain caused by grease
- Foul odours from the grease trap
- An inline trap or interceptor due for cleaning
What the work involves, part by part
Inline grease traps
Inline traps are fitted into the drain line. They’re larger than under-sink traps but still need regular emptying.
Grease interceptors
Interceptors take longer to clean and we plan the visit accordingly.
Grease trap cleaning in Ufton Nervet
Every trap is different. Under-sink units are small and fill quickly and larger traps hold more grease before they fill. We assess the trap and how fast it fills before suggesting how often it needs cleaning. Typical jobs include gurgling from the sink waste and an interceptor full of grease and solids, on restaurants and takeaways, pot wash sinks and under-sink grease traps.
In rural areas, a kitchen may drain to a private system rather than a public sewer, and fat getting past a grease trap can cause real trouble there.
A written report with photos follows each visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What else we do in Ufton Nervet
Grease trap cleaning around Ufton Nervet
Food Standards Agency data counts about 3 restaurants, cafés and works canteens in and around Ufton Nervet, up to about a mile and a half out. A grease trap in kitchens like these fills steadily and needs emptying before it overflows. We cover Ufton Nervet, about 43 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours. In Ufton Nervet, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from West Berkshire council. They look at the cleanliness of the whole kitchen: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment. A record of each deep clean helps show the kitchen is kept in order.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Battle Hospital (about 5.6 miles north-east), cook for long hours, so deep cleans and grease trap work are planned around patients’ meals. School kitchens, at schools like Sulhamstead and Ufton Nervet School for example, normally have their deep cleans and grease trap work done while the canteen is closed.

Questions from Ufton Nervet
Can the work in Ufton Nervet be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The work in Ufton Nervet can fit around your hours. Let us know the hours you are closed and we’ll book within them.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Ufton Nervet?
Food hygiene inspections in Ufton Nervet are carried out by West Berkshire council. Inspection results feed into the food hygiene rating published by the Food Standards Agency.
What is TR19?
A BESA specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It is not law, but it’s the benchmark.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, we are fully insured. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor for clients who vet their contractors.
Why does a grease trap need regular cleaning?
An overfull trap stops separating grease. The result is slow drains, foul odours and eventually a blockage.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not usually. Visits are timed for when the area is closed, such as overnight or at a weekend, so the site can carry on as normal.
Do you deal with blocked drains beyond the grease trap?
Cleaning the trap deals with the grease it holds and that may solve a slow drain caused by the trap. A blockage deeper in the drains needs a drainage specialist.
Where does the waste go?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. We do not leave it behind.
What happens if it’s left?
A full grease trap lets grease through to the drains. It hardens on the pipe walls, until the drain blocks. Regular trap cleaning beats dealing with a blockage. In a small place like Ufton Nervet, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.

When something else is needed
We will not sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so here are the limits:
- Drains that need jetting rather than trap cleaning
- Blockages further down the drainage network
- A grease trap that is too small for the kitchen

Where we work
- Under-sink grease traps
- Inline grease traps
- Pot wash sinks
- Kitchen waste pipes
- Restaurants and takeaways
- School and care home kitchens
Keeping the system healthy
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Fit sink strainers to catch food scraps
- Hot water only moves grease further down
- Make sure the trap can be reached easily
- Get food waste into the bin, not the sink
Once the trap is cleaned and refitted, the sinks can be used right away. Water is run through to check everything flows before we leave.
A fixed cleaning interval means the trap never gets overfull. We agree the timing with you.
