Grease trap cleaning in Remenham
If the sinks drain slowly or smell, the trap is often the cause. We find the trap, empty it and clean it, then check the water flows properly. If you have a blocked kitchen drain caused by grease and a kitchen drain that smells, we can put it right, from restaurants and takeaways, school and care home kitchens and kitchen waste pipes onwards.
For a kitchen in or near Remenham, 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.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with photos of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

FAQs for Remenham
Do you clean school kitchens in Remenham in the summer holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. Around Remenham, the Food Standards Agency lists about 7 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Tell us your holiday dates and we will book the visit for when the site is empty.
Can you work in Remenham outside opening hours?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The work in Remenham can fit around your hours. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We carry full insurance and have been trading since 2009.
What types of grease trap do you clean?
Under-sink units, inline traps and interceptors are all covered. Tell us what you have and we’ll plan around it.
What happens if a grease trap isn’t cleaned?
A full trap can’t catch any more grease. It then sets in the drains, causing blockages and smells, and can add to fatbergs in the sewer.
What accreditations do you have?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We’ve been trading since 2009 and we are fully insured.
What’s TR19?
A BESA specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It is not law, but it’s the benchmark.
How do you protect the area?
Protection goes down first: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
Different parts, different methods
Restaurant and takeaway kitchens
Busy kitchens can’t afford a blocked drain. Keeping the trap clean reduces the risk.
Baffles and outlets
We check the inlet, outlet and baffles at each clean so the trap works as it should.
What a clean won’t put right
Before you book, it helps to know what’s not included:
- A grease trap that is too small for the kitchen
- Sewer problems outside the premises
- Drains that need jetting rather than trap cleaning
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will say what we think before booking.

Aftercare tips
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Keep access to the trap clear
- Tell us if your menu or hours change
- Keep strainers in every sink
- Keep waste oil out of the drains
We’ll suggest when the trap should be cleaned again. It’s based on how full it was and how much the kitchen cooks.
Setting regular cleans takes the guesswork out. The interval is set to suit the trap and the kitchen.
What grease trap cleaning looks like in Remenham
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 17 bars, pubs and nightclubs in Remenham and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Where they run a kitchen, it needs the same deep cleaning and grease trap care as any restaurant. Kitchens in Remenham get their food hygiene inspections from Buckinghamshire council. Grease behind equipment or on a ceiling is the kind of thing an inspection can note. Photos and dates from each deep clean make a useful record.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Nicholas or elsewhere in Remenham, a deep clean and an emptied grease trap before a busy season of events are worth booking. Greenlands, about 1 mile north, is one of the historic houses around Remenham; event kitchens at places like that work in bursts, so a deep clean after a busy season helps.

Leave it or put it right?
Once the trap is full, grease heads for the drain. It hardens on the pipe walls, until the drain blocks. Cleaning the trap regularly is far easier than clearing a blocked drain. A fault that closes a site in a village like Remenham affects everyone who depends on it.
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered and we will price it together.

Common problems we fix in Remenham
A full trap cannot hold any more grease. It then builds up in the drains and on towards the sewer, where it can form blockages.
Look out for these warning signs:
- Sinks that drain slowly
- Grease setting in the kitchen pipework
- Drains that gurgle and bubble
- An interceptor full of grease and solids
If you run a care home or healthcare kitchen near Remenham (the nearest hospital is Marlow Community Hospital, about 5.4 miles east), a grease trap on a set schedule avoids a blocked drain mid-service.

The process
Your trading hours come first. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes an hour or two in most kitchens, depending on the size and condition of the trap. For a village or hamlet like Remenham, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- We find the trap and check how it’s connected.
- Nothing drains into the trap while it’s open.
- We take out the layer of fat, oil and grease and any solids.
- The inside, baffles and pipe connections are cleaned.
- We put it back together, run water through and remove the waste.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
Ask for a quote
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, photos of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Advice
How we price grease trap cleaning
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- The condition of the system
- The size of the system
- The times the site is available
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.
Asking for a quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Any previous report or certificate
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
If you need grease trap cleaning in Remenham, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email. Tell us what kind of premises it is and when it’s open, plus photos or the previous report if they’re to hand. We usually send a fixed quote within one working day.
