Managing agents and facilities teams in Winnersh
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 can quote for the whole system.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Grease trap cleaning in Winnersh
Kitchens in Winnersh use us for grease trap cleaning, whether it’s an under-sink unit or a larger inline trap. Visits are booked around your service, so the kitchen keeps running. We are often asked to deal with an overdue grease trap and a slow-draining kitchen sink, across restaurants and takeaways, kitchen waste pipes and under-sink grease traps.
In a place like Winnersh, kitchens often sit in older buildings with older drains. A blocked drain or a smelly grease trap is typically the first sign.

What grease trap cleaning looks like in Winnersh
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 26 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 6 takeaways and sandwich shops within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Winnersh. Kitchens like these wash fat, oil and grease down the sink every day, and a grease trap is what stops it reaching the sewer. It’s Wokingham council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Winnersh. The state of floors, drains and hard-to-reach corners all feeds into the inspection. Photos and dates from each deep clean make a useful record.
If you serve passing trade near Winnersh station, a grease trap on a regular schedule keeps the drains running through busy weeks. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St Mary the Virgin or elsewhere in Winnersh, 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 Winnersh (the nearest hospital is Wokingham Hospital, about 2.1 miles south-east), a grease trap on a set schedule avoids a blocked drain mid-service.

A full grease trap lets grease through to the drains. There it sets and narrows the pipe, until the drain blocks. Regular trap cleaning beats dealing with a blockage. When a site near Winnersh shuts unexpectedly, the people who rely on it notice at once.
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.

Your questions about grease trap cleaning in Winnersh
Can school kitchens in Winnersh be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. The FSA’s register shows about 9 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Winnersh. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Can the work in Winnersh be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. It means the site in Winnersh keeps running as normal. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we’ll book within them.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No. TR19® itself isn’t law; it’s a BESA specification. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19® is the recognised way to show grease is under control.
What do you do with what you remove?
It’s contained and taken away. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go, so it does not spread.
Will you tell us when the next visit is due?
Yes. The interval depends on how much the system is used and what we find, and we explain the reasoning on the report.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so we can schedule a run of sites as one programme. Every site has its own report.
Do you cover Winnersh?
Yes. We work in Winnersh and the rest of Wokingham, as part of our work across South East England and London. To book, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
What we do, step by step
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the work takes an hour or two in most kitchens, depending on the size and condition of the trap. Getting to the system matters more than parking in a place like Winnersh, so let us know how to reach it.
- First, we find the trap and look at its connections.
- We make sure nothing drains into the trap.
- We empty out the fat, oil, grease and solids.
- We clean every part of the inside.
- We refit it, run water through and remove the waste.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in

Keeping the system healthy
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Don’t store things on top of the trap
- Collect waste cooking oil separately
- Avoid pouring boiling water down to shift grease
- Get food waste into the bin, not the sink
Keep used oil out of the drains and the trap won’t fill as quickly. It makes a real difference.
More cooking means more grease in the trap. Shortening the cleaning interval now stops it overflowing.
What the work involves, part by part
Under-sink grease traps
Under-sink traps are compact units fitted below the kitchen sink. Their small size means they fill fast, so they need frequent emptying.
Inline grease traps
Several sinks may drain into one inline trap. More waste means faster filling.

What your team can do, and what needs us
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
Honest limits
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Broken pipework below ground
- A leaking sink waste or trap connection
- Sewer problems outside the premises
