What staff can safely do
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
Grease trap cleaning in Sedrup, done properly
Grease traps sit between the sinks and the drain, holding back fats, oils and grease. Cooling water lets the grease rise and separate while the water carries on to the drain. Eventually it fills and needs emptying and cleaning. If you have a kitchen drain that smells and a grease trap that hasn’t been emptied in a long time, we can help, from inline grease traps, restaurants and takeaways and pot wash sinks onwards.
For a kitchen in or near Sedrup, 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.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. So every job comes with a written report and photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

How it works
Night work is normal for us. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. The visit itself takes anything from under an hour to a few hours, depending on the trap. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Sedrup.
- We start by finding the trap and checking its inlet and outlet.
- Nothing drains into the trap while it’s open.
- Built-up fat, oil and grease is removed from the trap.
- Every part of the trap is scraped and cleaned, including the baffles.
- We put it back together, run water through and remove the waste.
How to prepare
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time

There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, and then send you a fixed quote. To start, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Advice
Honest limits
Not every problem is solved by grease trap cleaning, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not put right:

- A leaking sink waste or trap connection
- A unit that cannot cope with the kitchen’s output
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Grease trap cleaning around Sedrup
Look up Sedrup on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 6 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 3 takeaways and sandwich shops in Sedrup and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Each of them sends fat, oil and grease towards the drain, which is why grease traps need regular emptying. Environmental health officers from Buckinghamshire council inspect food businesses in Sedrup. An inspection covers the structure of the kitchen as well as the food. Keeping a record of deep cleans and grease trap visits helps at inspection time.
If you look after a hall kitchen near St Mary's Church or anywhere in Sedrup, a deep clean between busy seasons is easier than a scramble before a big event. A summer deep clean suits schools such as Stone Church of England Combined School, as the kitchen can be stripped back with no lunches to serve.

What the work involves, part by part
Inline grease traps
An inline trap sits in the pipework between the kitchen and the drain. They hold more than under-sink units but still fill up.
Under-sink grease traps
We empty and clean under-sink traps without disrupting the rest of the kitchen, and check the lid and seals.

Why deal with it now?
Wherever the kitchen is in Sedrup, backed-up drains stop it working. Water won’t drain away and waste water can come back up. Keeping the trap clean reduces the risk. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Sedrup is calmer for everyone.

- An under-sink unit that needs regular emptying
- An overdue grease trap
- Scheduled grease trap emptying
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like St John's Hospital about 1.5 miles west, deep cleans and grease trap visits are planned so meals still go out.

Sedrup: your questions answered
Can the work in Sedrup be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. It means the site in Sedrup keeps running as normal. When you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, mention when the site is quiet.
Which environmental health team covers Sedrup?
Food hygiene inspections in Sedrup are carried out by Buckinghamshire council. An officer may look behind equipment and at drains, so it pays to have the deep clean booked before those areas build up.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. We always survey first, either from pictures and details you send or on a site visit. A fixed quote follows.
Do you deal with blocked drains beyond the grease trap?
It depends where the blockage is. If the trap is full, cleaning it often helps, but blockages further along need a drainage contractor.
How long will the sinks be out of use?
Most grease trap cleans take anything from under an hour to a few hours, depending on the trap including checking it drains. We plan the visit around your service.
What accreditations do you have?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We have been trading since 2009 and we’re fully insured.
