Grease trap cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Midgham Green
We clean grease traps for kitchens in Midgham Green, from small under-sink units to inline traps and interceptors. We come when the sinks are not needed, so the kitchen keeps running. The work covers pot wash sinks, restaurants and takeaways and kitchen waste pipes, and people most often call us about gurgling from the sink waste and washing-up water that won’t drain away.
For a kitchen in or near Midgham Green, the visit is planned ahead, around opening times and the journey, and the deep clean is the same as anywhere: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

What we do, step by step
We turn up at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool before we start, and the area around the work is covered and protected. The work itself takes less than an hour for many under-sink units. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Midgham Green run smoothly.
- First, we locate the grease trap and look at the pipework around it.
- We ask for the sinks that drain into the trap not to be used.
- The trap is emptied of grease and food waste.
- We clean the chambers, baffles and connections.
- We put it back together, run water through and remove the waste.
Getting ready for the visit
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas

FAQs for Midgham Green
Can the work in Midgham Green be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The work in Midgham Green can fit around your hours. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we will book within them.
Do you work in villages like Midgham Green?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Midgham Green is covered. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Will I get paperwork for my records?
Yes. Every visit ends with a written report and photos, covering the work, any areas we couldn’t access and the recommended next date. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, there’s also a certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
What paperwork should we keep on file?
Visit reports, certificates and your in-house cleaning logs. They’re what an insurer, fire officer or EHO may ask for, so keep them where they can be found quickly.
What’s the right interval for grease trap cleaning?
That depends on the trap and the kitchen. A small trap fills more quickly than a large one and the busier the kitchen, the faster it fills. We’ll suggest an interval after the first clean.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
It depends on the building. The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, facilities manager or managing agent.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
Protection goes down first: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
What happens if a grease trap is not cleaned?
Grease and food waste build up until the trap stops working. The result is slow drains, foul odours and eventually a blockage.
When something else is needed
Before booking, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Drains that need jetting rather than trap cleaning
- Blockages further down the drainage network
- Plumbing leaks around the sink
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
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.
When to call us in Midgham Green
Food waste slips past sink strainers or gets rinsed down. It settles in the trap as solids and fill it from below.
Clients usually contact us after spotting something like this:
- An under-sink unit that needs regular emptying
- Sinks that drain slowly
- A blocked kitchen drain caused by grease
- A routine grease trap service
Where a church or community hall near Church of St Matthew, or anywhere in Midgham Green, has a kitchen used by volunteers, a periodic deep clean keeps it ready for the next event.
