Different parts, different methods

Grease interceptors
Grease interceptors are larger units that serve busier kitchens. With more capacity, they fill more slowly but they still need cleaning.
Grease trap cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Askett
Grease is behind most blocked kitchen drains. Down the line, they can add to fatbergs in the sewer. A grease trap that is emptied and cleaned regularly holds them back. The work covers inline grease traps, school and care home kitchens and pot wash sinks, and people most often call us about scheduled grease trap emptying and a larger grease trap that needs emptying.
For a kitchen in or near Askett, the visit is planned ahead, around opening times and the journey.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

What else we do in Askett
Your questions about grease trap cleaning in Askett
Can a school kitchen in Askett be done out of term time?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. Food Standards Agency records list about 4 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Askett. Send us your term dates when you call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we will fit the work in.
Do you work overnight in Askett?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The site is handed back ready to open. Just call 0345 646 2711, or email photos with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Which accreditations do you hold?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We are fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, depending on what the system needs.
Can you clear our blocked drains as well?
Our service covers the grease trap itself. Where the problem is further down the drain, we’ll say so and suggest a drainage contractor.
What types of grease trap do you clean?
Under-sink units, inline traps and interceptors are all covered. Let us know what’s fitted and we’ll plan the visit.
What is TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked, and it takes a risk-based approach.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a single café to a large school. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
What happens if it’s left?
For a kitchen in Askett, a regular grease trap clean is a small, planned job. A blocked drain is an emergency and normally at the worst moment. In a small place like Askett, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.

How the visit works
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes a short visit for a small trap and longer for an inline unit or interceptor. If you can send photos, we can arrive in Askett knowing what to expect.
- We agree a time when the sinks aren’t needed.
- The trap is opened up and checked.
- We remove the grease layer and settled solids.
- We clean the baffles, inlet and outlet.
- We close it up, check it drains and suggest when it needs cleaning again.
Before we arrive
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Clear the space around the work
How to get a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
Advice
What grease trap cleaning looks like in Askett
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 14 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 4 takeaways within about 1.5 miles of central Askett. Fat from washing up sets hard in pipes, and kitchens like these produce plenty of it. In Askett, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Buckinghamshire council. Walls, floors, ceilings and equipment are all part of what they look at. A cleaning log that includes deep cleans and grease trap visits shows the work is planned.
A summer deep clean suits schools such as Monks Risborough CofE Primary School, as the kitchen can be stripped back with no lunches to serve. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Stoke Mandeville Hospital (about 4.1 miles north), cook for long hours, so deep cleans and grease trap work are planned around patients’ meals.

Honest limits

- Blockages in the public sewer beyond the property
- A trap undersized for the amount of cooking
- Collapsed or damaged drains, which need a drainage contractor

What your team can do, and what needs us
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.
When your team notices a problem 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 will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Askett
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Askett and across Buckinghamshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
Common problems we fix in Askett
