Grease trap cleaning in Bradwell Abbey
A clean trap means flowing drains and no foul smells. The fat, oil, grease and solids are taken out and the chambers and baffles cleaned, and check the trap is working properly. Common call-outs are for a routine grease trap service and a full, neglected grease trap, across kitchen waste pipes, under-sink grease traps and school and care home kitchens.
Rural kitchens may drain to a septic tank or a private drain rather than straight into a public sewer, so keeping fat out with a working grease trap matters even more.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: 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. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

What happens on the day
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 job takes an hour or two in most kitchens, depending on the size and condition of the trap. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Bradwell Abbey, let us know and we will plan around 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
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Clear loose items from the work area

Why it’s worth doing now in Bradwell Abbey

Questions from Bradwell Abbey
Can you work in Bradwell Abbey outside opening hours?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Bradwell Abbey needn’t be disturbed. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Which environmental health team covers Bradwell Abbey?
That is Milton Keynes council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Bradwell Abbey. Keep the dates of your last deep clean and grease trap visit with your food safety records, ready if an officer asks.
What types of premises do you cover?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, as well as food production and leisure sites.
Do you work in Bradwell Abbey?
Yes. We work in Bradwell Abbey and the rest of Milton Keynes, as part of our work across South East England and London. For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Does the report say when we need you again?
Yes. The recommended date is on the report. BESA’s minimum intervals for kitchen extracts range from 3-monthly for heavy use to 12-monthly for light use, while fire dampers are tested at least annually.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
It depends on the building. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person, which can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, an FM or a managing agent.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, always. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it, and the quote is based on that.
What happens if a grease trap isn’t cleaned?
An overfull trap lets grease into the drains. There it hardens on the pipe walls and causes blockages. Regular cleaning prevents it.

What a clean won’t put right
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Grease set hard in the drain run
- A leaking sink waste or trap connection
- Drains that are cracked or have collapsed
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Where we work
- School and care home kitchens
- Pot wash sinks
- Kitchen waste pipes
- Inline grease traps
- Restaurants and takeaways
- Under-sink grease traps
Between visits
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Use strainers in the sink plugholes
- Don’t store things on top of the trap
- Don’t wait for a blockage to book a clean
- Tell us if your menu or hours change
We take the grease and solids away. There’s no greasy waste left on site when we are done.
Setting regular cleans takes the guesswork out. The interval is set to suit the trap and the kitchen.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
What staff can safely do
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
