About our grease trap cleaning in Horsenden
A neglected grease trap stops doing its job. Further down the pipe, the grease cools and hardens and the result is blocked drains and bad smells. A trap that is cleaned regularly keeps grease where it belongs. If you are dealing with grease setting in the kitchen pipework and foul odours from the grease trap, we can help, from under-sink grease traps, school and care home kitchens and pot wash sinks onwards.
For a kitchen in or near Horsenden, the visit is planned ahead, around opening times and the journey.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with pictures after each visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Horsenden: your questions answered
Who inspects food businesses in Horsenden?
In Horsenden, it’s Buckinghamshire council that carries out food hygiene inspections. An officer may look behind equipment and at drains, so it pays to have the deep clean booked before those areas build up.
Can you come to Horsenden after we close?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. It means the site in Horsenden keeps running as normal. When you call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, mention when the site is quiet.
What do you do with what you remove?
We take it away at the end of the visit. During the work, it’s contained so the area stays clean.
Does the report say when we need you again?
Yes. How often depends on use and condition, and we explain the reasoning on the report.
How often should a grease trap be cleaned?
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 suggest an interval after the first clean.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line, for problems that cannot wait. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. For many sites, photos and a few details are enough, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
The process
Everything the job needs comes with us, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. The visit takes less than an hour for many under-sink units. Somewhere like Horsenden, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- We agree a time when the sinks are not needed.
- The trap is opened up and checked.
- Built-up grease and food waste are taken out.
- The inside, baffles and outlet are cleaned.
- The trap is closed, tested and the next clean discussed.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time

Aftercare tips
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Tell us if your menu or hours change
- Collect waste cooking oil separately
- Fit sink strainers to catch food scraps
- Do not wait for a blockage to book a clean
If we spot problems beyond the trap, such as a drain that still runs slowly, we’ll tell you. That may need a drainage contractor to look further.
Setting regular cleans takes the guesswork out. The interval is set to suit the trap and the kitchen.
Commercial kitchens in Horsenden
Look up Horsenden on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 19 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 5 takeaways in and around Horsenden, up to about a mile and a half 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. Food hygiene inspections in Horsenden are the job of Buckinghamshire council’s environmental health team. An inspection covers the structure of the kitchen as well as the food. A record of each deep clean helps show the kitchen is kept in order.

What affects the cost of grease trap cleaning
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Parking and loading at the site
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
We do not list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we will explain what it covers.
Helping us quote
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. That’s our job.
When it’s something else
Before you book, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Leaking pipework or sink wastes, which need a plumber
- Broken pipework below ground
- Grease deep in the drains, which needs jetting by a drainage contractor
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will tell you honestly.
