What we do, step by step
There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, and the sign-off is a written report with photos. The middle part takes longest, which takes an hour or so for an under-sink trap, longer for a larger unit. The timing of a visit to Coombe is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- A visit is booked around your service.
- The trap is opened up and checked.
- We remove the grease layer and settled solids.
- We clean the baffles, inlet and outlet.
- We close it up, check it drains and suggest when it needs cleaning again.
Before we arrive
- Clear the space around the work
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Find the previous report, if there is one

Grease trap cleaning in Coombe
For kitchens across Coombe, grease trap cleaning fits easily around service. We empty, clean and check the trap and remove the waste. It can be booked on its own or alongside other kitchen work. If you have a bad smell from the sinks or drains and drains clogged with fat, we can put it right.
For a kitchen in or near Coombe, the visit is planned ahead, around opening times and the journey, and the deep clean is the same as anywhere: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment.
We’ve been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

FAQs for Coombe
Can you come to Coombe after we close?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The site is handed back ready to open. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we’ll book within them.
Is Coombe within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
The law calls them the responsible person. It’s normally the employer, or whoever controls the building, and in shared buildings more than one person can have duties. If you’re not sure, check your lease and fire risk assessment.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, set at the interval the system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
What paperwork should we keep on file?
Every certificate and report from each visit, kept together in your maintenance log, along with your own cleaning log. BESA says certificates should show the date, location and technician.
How much notice do you need?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
What does a grease trap clean cost?
No two traps are quite the same, so we quote once we know what you have. You get a fixed quote, normally within one working day.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, 24/7. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
Honest limits

- A trap undersized for the amount of cooking
- Leaking pipework or sink wastes, which need a plumber

What else we do in Coombe
Grease trap cleaning in Coombe: local notes
The FSA’s data shows about 8 bars, pubs and nightclubs registered across Coombe and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Any of them serving food has a kitchen that collects grease out of sight and drains that need protecting. Kitchens in Coombe get their food hygiene inspections from Buckinghamshire council. The state of floors, drains and hard-to-reach corners all feeds into the inspection. Photos and dates from each deep clean make a useful record.
A summer deep clean suits schools such as Great Kimble Church of England School, as the kitchen can be stripped back with no lunches to serve. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Stoke Mandeville Hospital about 3.5 miles north, deep cleans and grease trap visits are planned so meals still go out.

Signs you need grease trap cleaning in Coombe
If a trap is not emptied, grease passes straight through. It then builds up in the drains and the sewer beyond, where it can form blockages.
The symptoms we are asked about most are:
- A blocked kitchen drain caused by grease
- A full, neglected grease trap
- Sinks that drain slowly
- Gurgling from the sink waste
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Peter and St Paul or elsewhere in Coombe, a deep clean and an emptied grease trap before a busy season of events are worth booking.
Before booking anyone
- What paperwork you get at the end
- What insurance they carry
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- If they look at the system before pricing
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
