FAQs for Piddington
Can you work in school kitchens in Piddington during the holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. With about 3 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Piddington, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Tell us your holiday dates and we will book the visit for when the site is empty.
Can you get to a site in Piddington?
Yes. Piddington 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.
How regularly does a grease trap need emptying?
The right interval depends on your trap and your cooking. If the sinks start to drain slowly between cleans, it’s too long, and we can shorten it.
How long does a grease trap clean take?
A typical clean takes less than an hour for many under-sink units, including testing. It’s booked when the sinks aren’t needed.
How much notice should we give?
For planned work, earlier is better, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, to suit the system and how it’s used.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site in our area, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
Do you deal with blocked drains beyond the grease trap?
Cleaning the trap deals with the grease it holds, and can clear the problem where the trap was the cause. A blockage deeper in the drains needs a drainage specialist.
What happens if it’s left?
For a kitchen in Piddington, a regular grease trap clean is a small, planned job. A blocked drain is an emergency and usually at the worst moment. With notice, the visit to Piddington can be fitted around your bookings and events.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before we start.

What grease trap cleaning looks like in Piddington

Wherever food is prepared there, a periodic deep clean and a clear grease trap keep things in order. It’s Buckinghamshire council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Piddington. Walls, floors, ceilings and equipment are all part of what they look at. Keeping a record of deep cleans and grease trap visits helps at inspection time.

Looking after it afterwards
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Fit sink strainers to catch food scraps
- Don’t wait for a blockage to book a clean
- Scrape plates and pans into the bin before washing up
- Don’t rely on hot water to clear grease
We’ll suggest when the trap should be cleaned again. That depends on how quickly it filled and how much the kitchen cooks.
A fixed cleaning interval means the trap never gets overfull. The interval is set to suit the trap and the kitchen.
