Grease trap cleaning in High Wycombe, done properly
No two traps are quite the same. Under-sink traps are compact and need frequent attention, while inline traps and interceptors hold more. We assess the trap and how fast it fills and suggest an interval that suits. If you are dealing with a slow-draining kitchen sink and a bad smell from the sinks or drains, we can help, from school and care home kitchens, under-sink grease traps and restaurants and takeaways onwards.
Around a town like High Wycombe, the kitchens we deep clean tend to be pubs, restaurants, takeaways and school or care home kitchens. Each builds up grease where the daily clean can’t reach.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

What we do, step by step
Your staff don’t need to do much on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and we take it from there. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. Let us know how to reach the roof or plant area at your site in High Wycombe, and where the van can go.
- We agree a time when the sinks are not needed.
- The trap is opened up and checked.
- We remove the grease layer and settled solids.
- The inside, baffles and outlet are cleaned.
- We close it up, check it drains and suggest when it needs cleaning again.
Before we arrive
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards

Different parts, different methods
Baffles and outlets
The baffles hold back grease while water flows on. They gather grease and debris, so we clean them.
Under-sink grease traps
Small grease traps sit under the sink. Their small size means they fill fast, so they need frequent emptying.

Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We’re happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
Grease trap cleaning in High Wycombe: local notes
Look up High Wycombe on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 119 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 80 takeaways and sandwich shops in High Wycombe and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Kitchens like these wash fat, oil and grease down the sink every day, and a grease trap is what stops it reaching the sewer. In High Wycombe, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Buckinghamshire council. They look at the cleanliness of the whole kitchen: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment. Having the dates of the last deep clean to hand saves digging for them on the day.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Hospital of St John the Baptist (about less than half a mile south-east), cook for long hours, so deep cleans and grease trap work are planned around patients’ meals. If you run a kitchen near High Wycombe station with long trading hours, grease builds up faster behind equipment and in the trap. If you look after a hall kitchen near Church of All Saints or anywhere in High Wycombe, a deep clean between busy seasons is easier than a scramble before a big event.

Common questions in High Wycombe
Do you work at weekends in High Wycombe?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. That way a site in High Wycombe does not have to lose a day’s trading. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Can school kitchens in High Wycombe be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. With about 29 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of High Wycombe, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Send us your term dates when you call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, and we will fit the work in.
How long does a grease trap clean take?
As a guide, it takes less than an hour for many under-sink units. A large or very full trap takes longer and we will say so when we quote.
Which records should we keep?
Everything that shows the system is looked after: our reports and photos, any certificates and your in-house logs. A single log for each site works best.
Does the report say when we need you again?
Yes. The recommended date is on the report. For kitchen extracts, BESA’s minimum intervals run from every 3 months for heavy use to every 12 months for light use, while fire dampers are tested at least annually.
Where does the grease from the trap go?
We take the grease and solids away with us. You’re not left with anything to dispose of after the visit.
Can you give me a price for grease trap cleaning?
The price depends on the trap and the schedule. Get in touch and we will send you a fixed quote before any work starts.
What happens if a grease trap is not cleaned?
Grease escapes into the drains when the trap is full. It sets there and narrows the pipes and causes blockages. Keeping the trap clean stops that happening.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that is where we come in.
When something else is needed
Not every problem is solved by grease trap cleaning, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t put right:
- A leaking sink waste or trap connection
- Drains that are cracked or have collapsed
- Sewer problems outside the premises
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think before you book.
