How we handle grease trap cleaning in Burnham
For kitchens across Burnham, grease trap cleaning fits easily around service. We empty, clean and check the trap and remove the waste. It works on its own or with a deep clean or extract clean. The work covers pot wash sinks, school and care home kitchens and kitchen waste pipes, and people most often call us about grease setting in the kitchen pipework and washing-up water that won’t drain away.
In a place like Burnham, kitchens often sit in older buildings with older drains. Smells and slow drains are the usual warning signs.
We have been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we are fully insured.

Common questions in Burnham
Do you work overnight in Burnham?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. That way a site in Burnham doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Let us know the hours you are closed and we’ll book within them.
Can you get to a site in Burnham?
Yes, Burnham is part of our area, however small the site. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
How much time does a grease trap clean need?
As a guide, it takes less than an hour for many under-sink units. A large or very full trap takes longer, and we will tell you in advance.
What do you do with the waste?
We take it away. Your staff do not have to handle it once the clean is done.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and you will get one fixed quote.
Which accreditations do you hold?
We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.
Are you insured?
Yes. Duct Doctor is fully insured, and we can share the details when you need them.
What is TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping, and it takes a risk-based approach.
Part by part
Baffles and outlets
Clean water leaves through the outlet. If it’s blocked or greasy, the trap backs up.
School, care home and staff kitchens
Drains in care settings need to keep flowing. Visits are planned between meals.
Burnham kitchens: local notes
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 12 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 5 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses in and around Burnham, up to about a mile and a half out. Pub and hotel kitchens get the same build-up behind equipment and in the grease trap as any other. In Burnham, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Buckinghamshire council. They look at the cleanliness of the whole kitchen: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment. Photos and dates from each deep clean make a useful record.
A summer deep clean suits schools such as The E-Act Burnham Park Academy, as the kitchen can be stripped back with no lunches to serve. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Upton Hospital (about 3.3 miles south-east), cook for long hours, so deep cleans and grease trap work are planned around patients’ meals. For a café close to Burnham station, a deep clean can be done between closing and the morning rush.

Why it’s worth doing now in Burnham
Smells from a neglected trap are hard to ignore. Rotting food and grease give off foul odours and the smell carries. A clean trap takes the source away. Around Burnham, a kitchen or building out of action is missed straight away.

How it works
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. The visit takes anything from under an hour to a few hours, depending on the trap. Your opening hours decide when we come to Burnham, not ours.
- First, we find the trap and look at its connections.
- We make sure nothing drains into the trap.
- Grease and solids are removed from the trap.
- We clean every part of the inside.
- We refit it, run water through and remove the waste.
How to prepare
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
Get a fixed quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.
Advice
What affects the quote in Burnham
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- The size of the system
- Parking and loading at the site
- The number of sites or systems
- What state the system is in
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.
Helping us quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- A few general shots of the system
For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. You will typically have a quote within one working day.
Between visits
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Keep waste oil out of the drains
- Do not store things on top of the trap
- Mention any increase in cooking
- Book trap cleans at a set interval
Keep used oil out of the drains and the trap will not fill as quickly. It makes a real difference.
Slow sinks and a bad smell are early warnings. Getting it cleaned now can stop a full blockage later.
What your team can do, and what needs us
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, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
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, and that’s where we come in.
