How we handle grease trap cleaning in Newton Longville
A clean trap means flowing drains and no foul smells. The fat, oil, grease and solids are taken out, clean the inside and the baffles and the trap checked before we leave. If you’re dealing with drains that gurgle and bubble and a grease trap that hasn’t been emptied in a long time, we can put it right, from school and care home kitchens, pot wash sinks and kitchen waste pipes onwards.
For a kitchen in or near Newton Longville, 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 happens on the day
Your staff don’t need to do much on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and we take it from there. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Newton Longville and turn up when the site is quiet.
- First, we find the trap and look at its connections.
- We make sure nothing drains into the trap.
- Grease and solids are removed from the trap.
- We clean every part of the inside.
- We refit it, run water through and remove the waste.
How to prepare
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time

Advice
Aftercare tips
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Hot water only moves grease further down
- Let us know if the kitchen gets busier
- Use strainers in the sink plugholes
- Do not store things on top of the trap
Anything we notice beyond the trap, like a slow drain downstream, is pointed out. It may need a drainage specialist to look further.
If the sinks are slow or smelly, the trap may be full. Getting it cleaned now can stop a full blockage down the line.
Grease trap cleaning around Newton Longville
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 3 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 3 sandwich bars and takeaways in Newton Longville and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. A grease trap in kitchens like these fills steadily and needs emptying before it overflows. In Newton Longville, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Buckinghamshire council. Walls, floors, ceilings and equipment are all part of what they look at. Having the dates of the last deep clean to hand saves digging for them on the day.
If you cater for weddings or events at a historic house in the area (Bletchley Park is about 2.1 miles north-east), deep cleans can be fitted between bookings. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Bletchley Community Hospital about 1.9 miles north-east, deep cleans and grease trap visits are planned so meals still go out.

What else we do in Newton Longville
Honest limits
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- Grease deep in the drains, which needs jetting by a drainage contractor
- Broken pipework below ground
- A unit that can’t cope with the kitchen’s output
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Parts of the system we cover
- Kitchen waste pipes
- School and care home kitchens
- Pot wash sinks
- Restaurants and takeaways
- Inline grease traps
- Under-sink grease traps
Different parts, different methods
Inline grease traps
Access to an inline trap can be in a floor or cupboard. We ask about access when we quote.
Baffles and outlets
Clean water leaves through the outlet. A blocked outlet stops the trap working.
Newton Longville questions
Do you work overnight in Newton Longville?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. That way a site in Newton Longville does not have to lose a day’s trading. Just ring 0345 646 2711 or email us with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Newton Longville?
Food hygiene inspections in Newton Longville are carried out by Buckinghamshire council. Photos from a deep clean are a simple record of what was done and when.
Do you provide a certificate or report?
Yes, always. It’s a dated, written report with photos, plus a certificate via the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal for TR19® Grease cleans. Keep it in your maintenance log.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No. TR19® itself is not law; it’s a BESA specification. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19® is the recognised way to show grease is under control.
How often should a grease trap be cleaned?
It varies with the trap and the kitchen. If the sinks start to drain slowly between cleans, it’s too long, and we can shorten it.
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.
What paperwork should we keep on file?
Anything that proves the system is maintained: reports, certificates, pictures and your own cleaning or check logs. A single log for each site works best.
How much notice do you need?
For planned work, earlier is better, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
Common problems we fix in Newton Longville
Food scraps go down the sink with the washing-up water. Solids settle at the bottom of the trap and takes up space.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Washing-up water that won’t drain away
- An overdue grease trap
- An interceptor full of grease and solids
- Drains that gurgle and bubble
School kitchens, at schools like Newton Longville Church of England Primary School for example, usually have their deep cleans and grease trap work done while the canteen is closed.
