How we handle grease trap cleaning in Hedsor
Once a trap is full, grease passes straight through. Further down the pipe, the grease cools and hardens, leading to slow drains, blockages and smells. A trap that’s cleaned regularly keeps grease where it belongs. Common call-outs are for drains clogged with fat and a small trap that fills too quickly, on school and care home kitchens, under-sink grease traps and restaurants and takeaways.
Somewhere as small as Hedsor, the kitchens that need a deep clean are normally a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Wherever there is one, it needs its grease trap and hard-to-reach areas kept clean.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Your questions about grease trap cleaning in Hedsor
Do you work at weekends in Hedsor?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. That way a site in Hedsor does not have to lose a day’s trading. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Can you work in school kitchens in Hedsor during the holidays?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. With about 6 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Hedsor, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. You can ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the dates the site is empty.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. The law sets the duty, and TR19® is the recognised benchmark for meeting it. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person has to manage fire risk, and many insurers can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of cleaning.
Which accreditations do you hold?
Duct Doctor is a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.
Where does the grease from the trap go?
We remove all the waste we take out. None of it goes back into the drains, of course.
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. Blockages further down the drain, or damaged pipework, need a drainage contractor.
What does a grease trap clean cost?
Trap size, type, condition and access all affect the price. Tell us about the trap and we will send you a fixed quote.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We carry full insurance and have been trading since 2009.

Hedsor kitchens: local notes
Food Standards Agency records list about 27 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 4 takeaways across Hedsor and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Fat from washing up sets hard in pipes, and kitchens like these produce plenty of it. Food hygiene inspections in Hedsor are the job of Buckinghamshire council’s environmental health team. The state of floors, drains and hard-to-reach corners all feeds into the inspection. A cleaning log that includes deep cleans and grease trap visits shows the work is planned.
If you run a care home or healthcare kitchen near Hedsor (the nearest hospital is Marlow Community Hospital, about 3.6 miles west), a grease trap on a set schedule avoids a blocked drain mid-service. A summer deep clean suits schools such as St Paul's Church of England Combined School, as the kitchen can be stripped back with no lunches to serve.

Part by part
Inline grease traps
Several sinks may drain into one inline trap. That means more grease, so regular cleaning matters.
Under-sink grease traps
Small grease traps sit under the sink. Their small size means they fill fast and need regular cleaning.

Between visits
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Keep strainers in every sink
- Wipe grease off pans before washing them
- Hot water only moves grease further down
- Collect waste cooking oil separately
Scrape plates into the bin before washing up. Sink strainers help catch solids before they reach the trap.
An overfull trap lets grease pass. Regular emptying keeps it working and avoids a blockage.
Why act early in Hedsor
Wherever the kitchen is in Hedsor, backed-up drains stop it working. Sinks won’t empty, and dirty water can back up. Keeping the trap clean reduces the risk. With notice, the visit to Hedsor can be fitted around your bookings and events.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before we start.
