Inline traps may be under a floor panel or in a cupboard. We ask about access when we quote.
Grease trap cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Two Mile Ash
Every trap is different. Under-sink units are small and fill quickly, while inline traps and interceptors hold more. We assess the trap and how fast it fills and suggest an interval that suits. If you have a slow-draining kitchen sink and drains that gurgle and bubble, we can put it right, from pot wash sinks, kitchen waste pipes and inline grease traps onwards.
Work in a smaller place like Two Mile Ash is planned around your opening hours.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with photos of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

FAQs for Two Mile Ash
Can you work in Two Mile Ash outside opening hours?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. Your customers, staff or residents in Two Mile Ash needn’t be disturbed. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Two Mile Ash?
That is Milton Keynes council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Two Mile Ash. Inspection results feed into the food hygiene rating published by the Food Standards Agency.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
Not in itself. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19® as the benchmark, and many insurers ask for proof of cleaning to it. The legal duty sits in the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which applies in England and Wales.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, 24/7. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, and the emergency line covers the rest.
What is TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a single café to a large school. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. For many sites, pictures and a few details are enough, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
Can you give me a price for grease trap cleaning?
We price it once we know the trap and how often it needs cleaning. Get in touch and we will give you a fixed quote before any work starts.

What affects the cost of grease trap cleaning
The survey tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- What state the system is in
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you will get one fixed quote.
What we need to know
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. Try to include:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- A few general shots of the system
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price, before work begins.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
What we are called out for in Two Mile Ash
Food scraps go down the sink with the washing-up water. It settles in the trap as solids and fill it from below.
The symptoms we are asked about most are:
- A small trap that fills too quickly
- Gurgling drains in the kitchen
- Washing-up water that will not drain away
- An interceptor full of grease and solids
School kitchens, at schools like Two Mile Ash School for example, normally have their deep cleans and grease trap work done while the canteen is closed.

What we do, step by step
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, isolate whatever needs isolating, carry out the grease trap cleaning, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. On site, the work takes an hour or two in most kitchens, depending on the size and condition of the trap. Getting to the system matters more than parking in a place like Two Mile Ash, so let us know how to reach it.
- We find the trap and check how it’s connected.
- Nothing drains into the trap while it’s open.
- Built-up fat, oil and grease is removed from the trap.
- We clean the chambers, baffles and connections.
- Once it’s refitted, water is run through to check it drains, and we take the waste with us.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the space around the work
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
Getting a quote
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you’ll normally have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
Advice
Aftercare tips
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Collect waste cooking oil separately
- Scrape plates and pans into the bin before washing up
- Keep access to the trap clear
- Keep strainers in every sink
Keep used oil out of the drains and the trap won’t fill as quickly. It’s the single easiest way to help.
Setting regular cleans takes the guesswork out. The interval is set to suit the trap and the kitchen.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.
