Grease trap cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Ibstone
A clean trap means flowing drains and no foul smells. We empty the built-up grease and food solids, clean the inside and the baffles, and check the trap is working properly. If you are dealing with a blocked kitchen drain caused by grease and a kitchen drain that smells, we can put it right.
Rural kitchens may drain to a septic tank or a private drain rather than straight into 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 are fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

What staff can safely do
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. Leave those to us.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Grease trap cleaning around Ibstone
There are about 4 restaurants, cafés and works canteens across Ibstone and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half), according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Wherever they wash pans and plates, fat heads for the drain unless a trap catches it. Ibstone, about 37 miles from central London, is within our usual area. Visits are booked around your hours, evenings and weekends included. It’s Buckinghamshire council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Ibstone. An inspection covers the structure of the kitchen as well as the food. A cleaning log that includes deep cleans and grease trap visits shows the work is planned.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Ibstone CofE Primary School or anywhere near Ibstone, the holidays are the time for a deep clean or a grease trap clean. If you look after a hall kitchen near Church of St Nicholas or anywhere in Ibstone, a deep clean between busy seasons is easier than a scramble before a big event.

Why act early in Ibstone
Pouring hot water or chemicals down a slow drain is a common quick fix. That only moves the grease further down the pipe to set somewhere harder to reach. The lasting fix starts with the trap. It’s simpler to plan the work at Ibstone now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.

How the visit works
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. The visit takes a short visit for a small trap and longer for an inline unit or interceptor. Visits to a village like Ibstone are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- We agree a time when the sinks aren’t needed.
- The trap is opened up and checked.
- Built-up grease and food waste are taken out.
- The inside, baffles and outlet are cleaned.
- We close it up, check it drains and suggest when it needs cleaning again.
Before we arrive
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms

Advice
When something else is needed
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Blockages further down the drainage network
- A grease trap that’s too small for the kitchen
- Broken pipework below ground
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Where we work
- School and care home kitchens
- Restaurants and takeaways
- Under-sink grease traps
- Kitchen waste pipes
- Pot wash sinks
- Inline grease traps
Common problems we fix in Ibstone
Food waste slips past sink strainers or gets rinsed down. It settles in the trap as solids and takes up space.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Drains clogged with fat
- A kitchen drain that smells
- A slow-draining kitchen sink
- Gurgling from the sink waste
Stonor Park, about 3 miles south, is one of the historic houses around Ibstone; event kitchens at places like that work in bursts, so a deep clean after a busy season helps.

Questions from Ibstone
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Ibstone?
Food hygiene inspections in Ibstone are carried out by Buckinghamshire council. How often a business is inspected depends on the council’s risk rating for it, so the kitchen needs to be ready at any time.
Can you come to Ibstone after we close?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. That way a site in Ibstone does not have to lose a day’s trading. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
What happens if a grease trap is not cleaned?
Grease and food waste build up until the trap stops working. Slow drains, bad smells and blockages follow.
Will you tell us when the next visit is due?
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, and fire dampers need testing at least once a year.
Do I get a report after the visit?
Yes, always. The report is dated and includes pictures, plus a certificate via the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal for TR19® Grease cleans. File it with your fire safety records.
Are you insured?
Yes. We carry full insurance and have been trading since 2009.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, depending on what the system needs.
Where does the waste go?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. We don’t leave it behind.
What the work involves, part by part
Grease interceptors
Grease interceptors are larger units that serve busier kitchens. They hold more grease and solids, but they still need regular emptying and cleaning.
School, care home and staff kitchens
Drains in care settings need to keep flowing. We fit visits around mealtimes.
