What grease trap cleaning can’t fix
Not every problem is solved by grease trap cleaning, and we’d rather say so up front. It doesn’t solve:
- Grease deep in the drains, which needs jetting by a drainage contractor
- A trap undersized for the amount of cooking
- Leaking pipework or sink wastes, which need a plumber
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will say what we think.
Parts of the system we cover
- Restaurants and takeaways
- School and care home kitchens
- Inline grease traps
- Kitchen waste pipes
- Under-sink grease traps
- Pot wash sinks
Grease trap cleaning in Shenley, done properly
Grease is behind most blocked kitchen drains. Down the line, they can add to fatbergs in the sewer. A well-maintained trap holds them back. If you are dealing with an interceptor full of grease and solids and a slow-draining kitchen sink, we can put it right, from school and care home kitchens, restaurants and takeaways and inline grease traps onwards.
Somewhere as small as Shenley, the kitchens that need a deep clean are normally a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Wherever there is one, it needs its grease trap and hard-to-reach areas kept clean.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with pictures, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Multi-site and managed buildings
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so each one has its own record.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
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 do not reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
The process
Each visit runs to the same pattern: protect the area, make the system safe, do the work, tidy up and leave you the report. The visit itself takes less than an hour for many under-sink units. If you can send pictures, we can arrive in Shenley knowing what to expect.
- First, we find the trap and look at its connections.
- We make sure nothing drains into the trap.
- We empty out the fat, oil, grease and solids.
- The chambers and baffles are cleaned.
- We refit it, run water through and remove the waste.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
Getting a quote
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Advice
Leave it or put it right?
A full grease trap lets grease through to the drains. There it sets and narrows the pipe until water cannot get through. Cleaning the trap regularly is far easier than clearing a blocked drain. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before work begins.

Commercial kitchens in Shenley
The FSA’s data shows about 5 pubs and bars registered within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Shenley. Any of them serving food has a kitchen that collects grease out of sight and drains that need protecting. In Shenley, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Milton Keynes council. 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.
If you run a kitchen in an older building near Shenley, such as a historic house like Bletchley Park (about 2.8 miles south-east), older drains make a working grease trap all the more important. Hall and church kitchens, near St. Mary's Church or anywhere around Shenley, are used by many hands, and periodic deep cleans and grease trap visits keep them in order. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Christ the Sower Ecumenical Primary School (VA) or anywhere near Shenley, the holidays are the time for a deep clean or a grease trap clean.
