Managing agents and facilities teams in Botolph Claydon
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Every visit ends with a dated report and pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Grease trap cleaning in Botolph Claydon
Smells from the sink, gurgling drains or slow drainage all point to the grease trap. In Botolph Claydon, as everywhere we work, our team empties and cleans the trap, then check the water flows properly. If you are dealing with an under-sink trap that keeps filling up and a larger grease trap that needs emptying, we can put it right.
Somewhere as small as Botolph Claydon, the kitchens that need a deep clean are usually a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Wherever there is one, it needs its grease trap and hard-to-reach areas kept clean.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with pictures after every visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

The process
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the pictures you sent. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes an hour or two in most kitchens, depending on the size and condition of the trap. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Botolph Claydon before we set off.
- 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.
Preparing 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
Getting a quote
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same.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, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.

What a clean will not put right
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Blockages further down the drainage network
- A leaking sink waste or trap connection
- Drains that are cracked or have collapsed
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
What the work covers
- Kitchen waste pipes
- Under-sink grease traps
- School and care home kitchens
- Restaurants and takeaways
- Inline grease traps
- Pot wash sinks
Between visits
So the system stays in good health:
- Wipe grease off pans before washing them
- Hot water only moves grease further down
- Make sure the trap can be reached easily
- Book trap cleans at a set interval
Between cleans, keep food scraps out of the sink. Sink strainers help catch solids before they reach the trap.
If the sinks are slow or smelly, the trap may be full. Getting it cleaned now can stop a full blockage down the line.
Part by part
Restaurant and takeaway kitchens
We time visits to avoid service so the kitchen isn’t disrupted.
Grease interceptors
Bigger kitchens may have a larger grease interceptor. They hold more grease and solids but they still need cleaning.

What affects the quote in Botolph Claydon
The survey tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- How easy every part is to reach
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered and we’ll price it together.
What we need to know
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Useful things to send:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- The times we could work without disrupting the site

Botolph Claydon questions
Is Botolph Claydon within the area you cover?
Yes, Botolph Claydon is part of our area, however small the site. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Can a school kitchen in Botolph Claydon be done out of term time?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. Food Standards Agency records list about 2 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Botolph Claydon. Send us your term dates when you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we will fit the work in.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7, for problems that cannot wait. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
What accreditations do you have?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
How regularly does a grease trap need emptying?
It depends on the size of the trap and how busy the kitchen is. Small under-sink units fill faster than larger traps, and busy kitchens fill them faster still. We will recommend a schedule once we’ve seen it.
What happens to the waste?
We contain it and take it with us. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go, so it doesn’t spread.
Do you provide a certificate or report?
Yes, always. It’s a dated, written report with pictures, and TR19® Grease cleans come with a certificate through the BESCA VHE portal. Keep it in your maintenance log.
