Grease trap cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Chesham Bois
No two traps are quite the same. Under-sink units are small and fill quickly and larger traps hold more grease before they fill. We look at the trap, how much the kitchen uses it and how quickly it fills and suggest an interval that suits. We’re often asked to deal with grease setting in the kitchen pipework and drains that gurgle and bubble, on under-sink grease traps, restaurants and takeaways and inline grease traps.
In a place like Chesham Bois, kitchens often sit in older buildings with older drains. A blocked drain or a smelly grease trap is usually the first sign.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

Your questions about grease trap cleaning in Chesham Bois
Can you get to a site in Chesham Bois?
Yes, Chesham Bois is part of our area, however small the site. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Which environmental health team covers Chesham Bois?
That is Buckinghamshire council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Chesham Bois. Photos from a deep clean are a simple record of what was done and when.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
The report shows them clearly. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, and we can fit those.
Do you deal with blocked drains beyond the grease trap?
A trap clean removes the grease in the trap, and can clear the problem where the trap was the cause. A blockage deeper in the drains needs a drainage specialist.
What problems does a full grease trap cause?
Once it’s full, grease passes straight through. The grease hardens in the pipes, leading to blocked drains and smells, and can add to fatbergs in the sewer.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
Protection goes down first: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
Which records should we keep?
Each report and certificate we give you, filed in the maintenance log, along with your own cleaning log. BESA says certificates should show the date, location and technician.
Do you take the waste away?
We take it away. Your staff do not have to handle it after we’ve finished.
Chesham Bois kitchens: local notes
The FSA’s data shows about 17 pubs and bars registered within about 1.5 miles of central Chesham Bois. Pub and hotel kitchens get the same build-up behind equipment and in the grease trap as any other. It’s Buckinghamshire council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Chesham Bois. The state of floors, drains and hard-to-reach corners all feeds into the inspection. Keeping a record of deep cleans and grease trap visits helps at inspection time.
Where a church or community hall near Church of St Leonard, or anywhere in Chesham Bois, has a kitchen used by volunteers, a periodic deep clean keeps it ready for the next event. A summer deep clean suits schools such as Elangeni School, as the kitchen can be stripped back with no lunches to serve. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Amersham Hospital (about 1.7 miles south-west), cook for long hours, so deep cleans and grease trap work are planned around patients’ meals.

When something else is needed
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so these are the things it will not cover:
- Broken pipework below ground
- A leaking sink waste or trap connection
- A grease trap that’s too small for the kitchen
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What the work covers
- School and care home kitchens
- Under-sink grease traps
- Kitchen waste pipes
- Restaurants and takeaways
- Pot wash sinks
- Inline grease traps
The process
Protection comes first: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes a short visit for a small trap and longer for an inline unit or interceptor, and we clear up before we go. In a smaller place like Chesham Bois, parking is rarely the issue, but tell us about gates, roof access and opening hours.
- First, we find the trap and look at its connections.
- Sinks feeding the trap are taken out of use.
- Grease and solids are removed from the trap.
- The chambers and baffles are cleaned.
- The trap is refitted, tested with water and the waste taken away.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Let us know about parking and loading
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 many jobs can be priced from that alone.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
Aftercare tips
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Keep the grease trap on a regular cleaning schedule
- Fit sink strainers to catch food scraps
- Keep waste oil out of the drains
- Do not rely on hot water to clear grease
We take the grease and solids away. Nothing is left for you to dispose of when we’re done.
A fixed cleaning interval means the trap never gets overfull. The interval is set to suit the trap and the kitchen.

What else we do in Chesham Bois
For landlords and multi-site operators
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We’re happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
Why deal with it now?
A full grease trap lets grease through to the drains. There it sets and narrows the pipe until water cannot get through. Cleaning the trap regularly is far easier than clearing a blocked drain. Light use slows the build-up but does not stop it.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and the price is agreed before we start.
Why book with us
- Out-of-hours work and a 24/7 emergency line
- Ventilation hygiene specialists since 2009
- Full insurance on every job
- BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease

What affects the quote in Chesham Bois
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- The size of the system
- A single visit or a regular plan
You will not find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we’ll talk you through it.
What to send for a quote
We can often survey from photos. The most useful are:
- Any previous report or certificate
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
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, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
