How we handle grease trap cleaning in Saunderton Lee
A grease trap catches fats, oils and grease from the kitchen sinks before they reach the drain. Cooling water lets the grease rise and separate while the water carries on to the drain. Over time, the trap fills up and needs emptying and cleaning. Typical jobs include a kitchen drain that smells and a slow-draining kitchen sink, across kitchen waste pipes, school and care home kitchens and pot wash sinks.
In a village or hamlet like Saunderton Lee, commercial kitchens are few, perhaps a pub, a school or a care home. Each still needs the occasional deep clean and its grease trap kept clear.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Multi-site and managed buildings
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so each one has its own record.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
When to call us in Saunderton Lee
A full trap cannot hold any more grease. It goes on into the drain and the sewer beyond, where it can cause blockages.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Sinks that drain slowly
- Gurgling drains in the kitchen
- Scheduled grease trap emptying
- A larger grease trap that needs emptying
West Wycombe Park House, about 3.6 miles south, is one of the historic houses around Saunderton Lee; event kitchens at places like that work in bursts, so a deep clean after a busy season helps.

What the work involves, part by part
Under-sink grease traps
Small grease traps sit under the sink. They fill quickly, so they need frequent emptying.
Restaurant and takeaway kitchens
A blocked drain in a busy kitchen can stop service. Regular trap cleaning helps prevent it.
What affects the quote in Saunderton Lee
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Any permits to work or inductions
- The number of sites or systems
- Parking and loading at the site
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before we start.
What to send for a quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. The most useful are:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- A few general shots of the system
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- The postcode and the type of business
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To start, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.

Between visits
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Do not wait for a blockage to book a clean
- Don’t rely on hot water to clear grease
- Keep strainers in every sink
- Make sure the trap can be reached easily
Keep used oil out of the drains and the trap will not fill as quickly. It’s the single easiest way to help.
A fixed cleaning interval means the trap never gets overfull. We agree the timing with you.
Common questions in Saunderton Lee
Is Saunderton Lee within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Do you work at weekends in Saunderton Lee?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. It means the site in Saunderton Lee keeps running as normal. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
What types of grease trap do you clean?
We clean under-sink traps, inline traps and interceptors. Let us know what’s fitted and we’ll plan the visit.
What does TR19 mean?
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 close while you work?
Not usually. The area we are working in has to be out of use while we’re there, so we book a time when it would be closed anyway.
How do you protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before we start, and waste is contained as we go. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
Will I get paperwork for my records?
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.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
The Fire Safety Order 2005 calls them the responsible person: often the employer, owner or occupier. In shared or managed buildings, a landlord, facilities manager or managing agent can share the duty.
