Grease trap cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Rush Green
Smells from the sink, gurgling drains or slow drainage all point to the grease trap. We find the trap, empty it and clean it and run water through to check it drains. The work covers inline grease traps, school and care home kitchens and restaurants and takeaways, and the jobs we see most are drains clogged with fat and an inline trap or interceptor due for cleaning.
Somewhere as small as Rush Green, the kitchens that need a deep clean are normally a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still needs the occasional deep clean and its grease trap kept clear.
A written report with pictures follows every visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Questions from Rush Green
Will you come out to Rush Green?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Who inspects food businesses in Rush Green?
The local authority for Rush Green is Buckinghamshire council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. How often a business is inspected depends on the council’s risk rating for it, so the kitchen needs to be ready at any time.
What happens if a grease trap is not cleaned?
An overfull trap stops separating grease. The result is slow drains, foul odours and eventually a blockage.
Will I get paperwork for my records?
Yes. It’s your proof that the work was done: a written, dated record with photos of what we did and anything we couldn’t access.
What’s TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping, and it takes a risk-based approach.
Do we need to stop using the sinks while you work?
The sinks that drain into the trap can’t be used while it’s open. That is why we time visits around service so the kitchen is not held up.
Do you recommend a next date?
Yes. The interval depends on how much the system is used and what we find and the report sets out why.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, to suit the system and how it’s used.
Leave it or put it right?
Pouring hot water or chemicals down a slow drain is a common quick fix. It just shifts the grease further along, where it sets again. Emptying and cleaning the trap deals with the source. With notice, the visit to Rush Green can be fitted around your bookings and events.
The cost depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.

When it’s something else
We will not sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so these are the things it will not cover:
- Drains that are cracked or have collapsed
- Drains that need jetting rather than trap cleaning
- A unit that cannot cope with the kitchen’s output
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will say what we think.
Where we work
- Under-sink grease traps
- Kitchen waste pipes
- Restaurants and takeaways
- Inline grease traps
- Pot wash sinks
- School and care home kitchens
What your team can do, and what needs us
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Looking after it afterwards
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Act on gurgling or smelly drains
- Keep strainers in every sink
- Get food waste into the bin, not the sink
- Don’t wait for a blockage to book a clean
Anything we notice beyond the trap, like a slow drain downstream, is pointed out. That may need a drainage contractor to investigate.
Grease that gets past the trap sets in the drains. Once it’s there, it needs a drainage contractor to clear, so it’s far better to keep the trap clean.
How it works
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, make the system safe, carry out the grease trap cleaning, tidy up and leave you the report. On site, the work takes anything from under an hour to a few hours, depending on the trap. In a small place like Rush Green, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- We agree a time when the sinks aren’t needed.
- We open the trap and look at its condition.
- Built-up grease and food waste are taken out.
- The inside, baffles and outlet are cleaned.
- We close it up, check it drains and suggest when it needs cleaning again.
How to prepare
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Clear loose items from the work area

When to call us in Rush Green
Hot water and detergent carry grease further than you’d expect. When it cools, the grease hardens in the pipework or the drain.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- Scheduled grease trap emptying
- A kitchen drain that smells
- A full, neglected grease trap
- Gurgling drains in the kitchen
If you run a care home or healthcare kitchen near Rush Green (the nearest hospital is Wexham Park Hospital, about 3.2 miles south-west), a grease trap on a set schedule avoids a blocked drain mid-service.
