Grease trap cleaning for Windsor, from a team that has been trading since 2009. Out-of-hours visits and 24/7 emergency callout.

How we handle grease trap cleaning in Windsor
No two traps are quite the same. Under-sink traps are compact and need frequent attention, while inline traps and interceptors hold more. We assess the trap and how fast it fills before suggesting how often it needs cleaning. Typical jobs include drains that gurgle and bubble and a routine grease trap service, on kitchen waste pipes, inline grease traps and under-sink grease traps.
For a kitchen in a town like Windsor, a deep clean is often booked after a refit, before an inspection or alongside an extract clean, which keeps the disruption to a single night.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That’s why every job is written up in a report with pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Honest limits
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Sewer problems outside the premises
- A grease trap that is too small for the kitchen
- Collapsed or damaged drains, which need a drainage contractor

Why act early in Windsor
Some kitchens try to fix slow drains with hot water or drain cleaners. It just shifts the grease further along, where it sets again. The lasting fix starts with the trap. Whatever the system, dirt and wear only get worse.
The cost depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.

Windsor: your questions answered
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Windsor?
Kitchens in Windsor are inspected by Windsor and Maidenhead council’s environmental health officers. An officer may look behind equipment and at drains, so it pays to have the deep clean booked before those areas build up.
Can a school kitchen in Windsor be done out of term time?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. The FSA’s register shows about 52 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Windsor. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Do you provide a certificate or report?
Yes. It’s your proof that the work was done: a dated report with photos, listing the work and any areas we couldn’t reach.
Can you give me a price for grease trap cleaning?
Every trap is different, so we price each one individually. You get a fixed quote, typically within one working day.
How do you protect the area?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before work begins, and waste is contained as we go. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
We never leave them off the paperwork. You will know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
Do you work in Windsor?
Yes. We work in Windsor and across Windsor and Maidenhead, within our South East and London area. To book, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We carry full insurance and have been trading since 2009.

Advice
Grease trap cleaning around Windsor
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 4 food manufacturers and packers across Windsor and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). For food producers, the grease trap schedule should follow the volume going through it. Kitchens in Windsor get their food hygiene inspections from Windsor and Maidenhead council. The state of floors, drains and hard-to-reach corners all feeds into the inspection. Keeping a record of deep cleans and grease trap visits helps at inspection time.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near All Saints Church or elsewhere in Windsor, a deep clean and an emptied grease trap before a busy season of events are worth booking. If you run a care home or healthcare kitchen near Windsor (the nearest hospital is King Edward VII Hospital, about 0.8 miles east), a grease trap on a set schedule avoids a blocked drain mid-service. If you run event catering at a historic house or estate in the area (St Leonard's Hill is about 1 mile south-west), a deep clean before or after the busy season is worth planning.

Between visits
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Don’t store things on top of the trap
- Act on gurgling or smelly drains
- Wipe grease off pans before washing them
- Avoid pouring boiling water down to shift grease
We take the grease and solids away. There’s no greasy waste left on site when we are done.
Slow sinks and a bad smell are early warnings. Acting at this stage normally prevents a blockage down the line.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We are happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
Fixed quotes for grease trap cleaning in Windsor
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:
- Site rules, permits and inductions

Want a quote for grease trap cleaning? Please give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with a few details about the site. We’ll explain what we’d do and send a fixed quote before anything is booked.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
If your staff spot something 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’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.
