Grease trap cleaning in Skittle Green, done properly
Once a trap is full, grease passes straight through. Further down the pipe, the grease cools and hardens, leading to slow drains, blockages and smells. A trap that is cleaned regularly keeps grease where it belongs. The work covers under-sink grease traps, kitchen waste pipes and pot wash sinks, and common reasons people get in touch are a bad smell from the sinks or drains and a regular cleaning plan for the grease trap.
Somewhere as small as Skittle 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.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

How we price grease trap cleaning
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- The scale of the work
- Any permits to work or inductions
The cost depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.
What to send for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Any previous report or certificate
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
If you need grease trap cleaning in Skittle Green, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us. Tell us what kind of premises it is and when it’s open, and send pictures or your last report if you can. We usually send a fixed quote within one working day.

Your questions about grease trap cleaning in Skittle Green
Can you work in Skittle Green outside opening hours?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. Your customers, staff or residents in Skittle Green needn’t be disturbed. When you ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, mention when the site is quiet.
Will you come out to Skittle Green?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Skittle Green included. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
The report shows them clearly. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, which we can install.
Where does the grease from the trap go?
The fat, oil, grease and solids we remove go with us. It isn’t poured back down the drain at any point.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
Who is the responsible person?
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, it’s the responsible person: normally the employer or whoever controls the premises. Landlords, facilities managers and managing agents can also hold responsibility.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
How often should a grease trap be cleaned?
It depends on the size of the trap and how busy the kitchen is. A small trap fills more quickly than a large one and the busier the kitchen, the faster it fills. We will suggest an interval after the first clean.
Commercial kitchens in Skittle Green
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 3 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Skittle Green. Fat from washing up sets hard in pipes, and kitchens like these produce plenty of it. About 37 miles out from central London, Skittle Green is part of the South East area we work across. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you. Kitchens in Skittle Green get their food hygiene inspections from Buckinghamshire council. The state of floors, drains and hard-to-reach corners all feeds into the inspection. Having the dates of the last deep clean to hand saves digging for them on the day.
If you look after a hall kitchen near Church of the Holy Trinity or anywhere in Skittle Green, a deep clean between busy seasons is easier than a scramble before a big event. If you run a care home or healthcare kitchen near Skittle Green (the nearest hospital is Thame Community Hospital, about 4.1 miles north-west), a grease trap on a set schedule avoids a blocked drain mid-service.

Why deal with it now?
A blocked drain can stop a kitchen in its tracks. Water won’t drain away and waste water can come back up. Cleaning the grease trap on time helps prevent it. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before any work starts.

Common problems we fix in Skittle Green
Hot water and detergent carry grease further than you’d expect. When it cools, the grease hardens, often in the trap or the pipe beyond.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- An interceptor full of grease and solids
- An under-sink unit that needs regular emptying
- Scheduled grease trap emptying
- Drains clogged with fat
School kitchens, at schools like Princes Risborough School for example, typically have their deep cleans and grease trap work done while the canteen is closed.
Before booking anyone
- What insurance they carry
- If they look at the system before pricing
- What paperwork you get at the end
- When the next visit should be, and why
Looking after it afterwards
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Let us know if the kitchen gets busier
- Collect waste cooking oil separately
- Keep access to the trap clear
- Keep the grease trap on a regular cleaning schedule
You’ll get our view on how often the trap needs cleaning. That depends on how quickly it filled and how busy the kitchen is.
If the kitchen has got busier, the trap fills faster. Booking cleans more often stops it overflowing.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
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 photos, so each one has its own record.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
What we do, step by step
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and the same goes into the written report. The visit takes a short visit for a small trap and longer for an inline unit or interceptor. Somewhere like Skittle Green, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- A visit is booked around your service.
- We open the trap and look at its condition.
- We remove the grease layer and settled solids.
- We clean the baffles, inlet and outlet.
- The trap is closed, tested and the next clean discussed.
Getting ready for the visit
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Let us know about parking and loading
