Landlords, agents and facilities managers
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 photos.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Buckinghamshire. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
How we handle grease trap cleaning in Long Crendon
A grease trap is the kitchen drain’s first line of protection. When it’s looked after, you hardly know it’s there, but neglected, it causes blockages and smells. Routine cleaning keeps it in good working order. Common call-outs are for a blocked kitchen drain caused by grease and an inline trap or interceptor due for cleaning, across pot wash sinks, restaurants and takeaways and under-sink grease traps.
In a smaller place like Long Crendon, commercial kitchens are more likely to be a pub, a café, a takeaway or a school or care home kitchen. Smaller kitchens still collect grease behind equipment and in the drains.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

What happens if it’s left?
Wherever the kitchen is in Long Crendon, backed-up drains stop it working. Water won’t drain away and waste water can come back up. Cleaning the grease trap on time helps prevent it. You choose the date of a planned visit, and a breakdown never asks.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before any work starts.

Questions from Long Crendon
Do you work in villages like Long Crendon?
Yes. Long Crendon is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Which environmental health team covers Long Crendon?
In Long Crendon, 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.
What about areas you can’t get to?
They’re marked on the report. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, which we can install.
Where does the waste go?
It leaves the site with us at the end of the visit. During the work, it’s contained so the area stays clean.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
Will you tell us when the next visit is due?
Yes. We put a recommended next date 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 you survey before quoting?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need and the fixed quote is built on it.
Which grease traps does the service cover?
We cover under-sink, inline and interceptor units. Each one is emptied, cleaned and checked in the same careful way.
What staff can safely do
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
What happens on the day
There are three stages on the day: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, and the sign-off is a written report with photos. The middle part takes longest, which takes an hour or two in most kitchens, depending on the size and condition of the trap. For a site near Long Crendon, the work is booked around your opening hours, evenings and weekends included.
- First, we find the trap and look at its connections.
- We make sure nothing drains into the trap.
- We empty out the fat, oil, grease and solids.
- The chambers and baffles are cleaned.
- The trap is refitted, tested with water and the waste taken away.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time

Look up Long Crendon on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 6 restaurants, cafés and canteens within about 1.5 miles of central Long Crendon. Kitchens like these wash fat, oil and grease down the sink every day, and a grease trap is what stops it reaching the sewer. At about 43 miles from central London, Long Crendon sits well inside the area we cover. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours. Kitchens in Long Crendon get their food hygiene inspections from Buckinghamshire council. The state of floors, drains and hard-to-reach corners all feeds into the inspection. Keeping a record of deep cleans and grease trap visits helps at inspection time.
Hall and church kitchens, near Church of St Mary or anywhere around Long Crendon, are used by many hands, and periodic deep cleans and grease trap visits keep them in order.

- Gurgling drains in the kitchen
- Foul odours from the grease trap
- A grease trap that hasn’t been emptied in a long time
