Grease trap cleaning in Bourne End, Buckinghamshire
Grease trap cleaning across Bourne End and nearby, booked around your opening hours and finished with a written report and photos.
- An under-sink unit that needs regular emptying
- Gurgling drains in the kitchen
- Grease setting in the kitchen pipework
Between visits
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Scrape plates and pans into the bin before washing up
- Tell us when sinks start draining slowly
- Mention any increase in cooking
- Don’t rely on hot water to clear grease
Anything we notice beyond the trap, like a slow drain downstream, is pointed out. That may need a drainage contractor to look further.
A trap that is left too long stops catching grease. Regular emptying keeps it working and saves a call-out for a blocked drain.
Grease trap cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Bourne End
Grease is behind most blocked kitchen drains. Further on, grease can build into fatbergs in the sewer. A grease trap that’s emptied and cleaned regularly holds them back. Typical jobs include a blocked kitchen drain caused by grease and scheduled grease trap emptying, across school and care home kitchens, kitchen waste pipes and inline grease traps.
Around a place like Bourne End, deep clean work tends to mean pubs, cafés and school or care home kitchens. Smaller kitchens still collect grease behind equipment and in the drains.
A written report with photos follows each visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
