How we handle grease trap cleaning in Great Kimble
Grease trap cleaning keeps the drains running and the smells away. We empty the built-up grease and food solids, clean the inside and the baffles and the trap checked before we leave. The work covers pot wash sinks, restaurants and takeaways and inline grease traps, and people most often call us about a routine grease trap service and an inline trap or interceptor due for cleaning.
In rural areas, a kitchen may drain to a private system rather than a public sewer, and fat getting past a grease trap can cause real trouble there.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

Why deal with it now?
Some kitchens try to fix slow drains with hot water or drain cleaners. That only moves the grease further down the pipe to set somewhere harder to reach. Emptying and cleaning the trap deals with the source. Rural sites cannot always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before work begins.

Aftercare tips
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Fit sink strainers to catch food scraps
- Make sure the trap can be reached easily
- Wipe grease off pans before washing them
- Tell us if your menu or hours change
You will get our view on how often the trap needs cleaning. It’s based on how full it was and how much the kitchen cooks.
Fat that escapes the trap hardens in the pipework. Once it’s there, it needs a drainage contractor to clear so prevention is the easier route.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Great Kimble
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Buckinghamshire. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
How we price grease trap cleaning
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- The number of sites or systems
- How big the system is
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you are unsure, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
Helping us quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
To get a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. You’ll typically have a quote within one working day.
