Grease trap cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Woolhampton
Once a trap is full, grease passes straight through. Further down the pipe, the grease cools and hardens, leading to slow drains, blockages and smells. Regular cleaning keeps it working. The work covers kitchen waste pipes, restaurants and takeaways and inline grease traps, and people most often call us about a bad smell from the sinks or drains and gurgling from the sink waste.
Somewhere as small as Woolhampton, the kitchens that need a deep clean are usually a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still needs the occasional deep clean and its grease trap kept clear.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

What affects the quote in Woolhampton
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- The number of sites or systems
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- The condition of the system
- How easy every part is to reach
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.
What to send for a quote
What to send for a quote:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To start, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
What the work involves, part by part
Restaurant and takeaway kitchens
Busy kitchens can’t afford a blocked drain. Keeping the trap clean reduces the risk.
School, care home and staff kitchens
Care home and hospital kitchens need their drains working all the time. We fit visits around mealtimes.
What a clean won’t put right
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- A grease trap that’s too small for the kitchen
- Sewer problems outside the premises
- Plumbing leaks around the sink
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think.
What the work covers
- School and care home kitchens
- Kitchen waste pipes
- Inline grease traps
- Under-sink grease traps
- Pot wash sinks
- Restaurants and takeaways
What happens if it’s left?
In Woolhampton, as anywhere, grease trap cleaning is a short, routine visit. Waiting for a blockage turns it into an urgent problem, often at a busy time. Somewhere as small as Woolhampton, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
We do not list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, and we’ll explain what it covers.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Common questions in Woolhampton
Can you come to Woolhampton after we close?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. That way a site in Woolhampton does not have to lose a day’s trading. When you ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, mention when the site is quiet.
Will you come out to Woolhampton?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Woolhampton is covered. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not typically. Out-of-hours visits keep the disruption down. Bigger sites can be done in stages to keep things running.
What do you do with the waste?
The fat, oil, grease and solids we remove go with us. It is not poured back down the drain at any point.
Can you clear our blocked drains as well?
We clean the trap, not the drain network. If the drain beyond the trap is blocked or damaged, we’ll tell you and suggest a drainage contractor.
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.
How do you protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. We keep the work contained and leave the area clean.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We carry full insurance and have been trading since 2009.
Looking after it afterwards
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Book trap cleans at a set interval
- Never pour used oil down the sink
- Tell us when sinks start draining slowly
- Do not rely on hot water to clear grease
Once the trap is cleaned and refitted, the sinks can be used right away. We run water through to check it drains before we go.
Grease that gets past the trap sets in the drains. Clearing it then is a bigger job so prevention is the easier route.
What we do, step by step
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and it goes on the report too. The visit takes an hour or so for an under-sink trap, longer for a larger unit. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Woolhampton.
- We locate the trap and check how it’s fitted.
- Sinks feeding the trap are taken out of use.
- Grease and solids are removed from the trap.
- We clean every part of the inside.
- The trap is refitted, tested with water and the waste taken away.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Move anything stored near the system
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
