How we handle grease trap cleaning in Green Street Green
A grease trap catches fats, oils and grease from the kitchen sinks before they reach the drain. As the waste water cools, the grease floats and stays in the trap, and clean water flows on. Over time, the trap fills up and has to be emptied and cleaned. The work covers school and care home kitchens, under-sink grease traps and inline grease traps, and the jobs we see most are a blocked kitchen drain caused by grease and a routine grease trap service.
For a kitchen in or near Green Street Green, the visit is planned ahead, around opening times and the journey.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

Do you need grease trap cleaning in Green Street Green?
Waste cooking oil poured down the sink fills a grease trap far faster than washing-up. Small amounts soon build up.
Most sites get in touch when they notice something like this:
- A kitchen drain that smells
- A full, neglected grease trap
- Washing-up water that will not drain away
- A routine grease trap service
Half-term is a good time for school kitchens, at schools like Greenlands Primary School for instance, to have the grease trap emptied and the kitchen deep cleaned.

Common questions in Green Street Green
Can you work in school kitchens in Green Street Green during the holidays?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. Around Green Street Green, the Food Standards Agency lists about 4 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Send us your term dates when you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, and we will fit the work in.
Do you work in villages like Green Street Green?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
What do you do to protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. We keep the work contained and leave the area clean.
Can you clear our blocked drains as well?
A trap clean removes the grease in the trap and that may solve a slow drain caused by the trap. A blockage deeper in the drains needs a drainage specialist.
How regularly does a grease trap need emptying?
That depends on the trap and the kitchen. Small under-sink units fill faster than larger traps and the busier the kitchen, the faster it fills. We will recommend a schedule once we have seen it.
Where does the waste go?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. None of it is left on site.
Why does a grease trap need regular cleaning?
Once it’s full, grease passes straight through. It then sets in the drains, causing blockages and smells, and can add to fatbergs in the sewer.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
They’re marked on the report. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, and we can fit those.

Why it’s worth doing now in Green Street Green
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. The lasting fix starts with the trap. In a place like Green Street Green, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before any work starts.
