Grease trap cleaning in Wooburn Green

Leave it or put it right?

Once the trap is full, grease heads for the drain. It hardens on the pipe walls until water can’t get through. Regular trap cleaning beats dealing with a blockage. It’s easy to lose track of when the work was last done on a quieter site.

Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you will get one fixed quote.

Grease trap cleaning in Wooburn Green

A clean trap means flowing drains and no foul smells. We empty the built-up grease and food solids and the chambers and baffles cleaned, and check the trap is working properly. Typical jobs include a slow-draining kitchen sink and an under-sink unit that needs regular emptying, across pot wash sinks, under-sink grease traps and restaurants and takeaways.

Work in a smaller place like Wooburn Green is planned around your opening hours.

We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

Your questions about grease trap cleaning in Wooburn Green

Can school kitchens in Wooburn Green be cleaned in the holidays?

Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. Food Standards Agency records list about 6 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Wooburn Green. Send us your term dates when you call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we’ll fit the work in.

Which council inspects kitchens in Wooburn Green?

In Wooburn Green, it’s Buckinghamshire council that carries out food hygiene inspections. An officer may look behind equipment and at drains, so it pays to have the deep clean booked before those areas build up.

Is Wooburn Green in your area?

Do you offer emergency callouts?

Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for anything that cannot wait until a planned visit. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.

What does a grease trap clean cost?

No two traps are quite the same, so we quote once we know what you have. We give you a fixed price, typically within one working day.

What is TR19?

It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked and expects a risk-based approach.

How do you keep the site clean during the work?

Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before work begins, and waste is contained as we go. At the end, the area is cleaned down.

What happens if you cannot reach some of it?

They’re marked on the report. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, and we can fit those.

Do you need grease trap cleaning in Wooburn Green?

A full trap can’t hold any more grease. It then builds up in the drains and on towards the sewer, where it can form blockages.

The symptoms we are asked about most are:

  • An under-sink trap that keeps filling up
  • A regular cleaning plan for the grease trap
  • Sinks that drain slowly
  • An interceptor full of grease and solids

Hospital of St John the Baptist, about 3.3 miles north-west, is the nearest hospital to Wooburn Green; healthcare kitchens can’t stop cooking, so deep cleans are worked around meal times.

How to choose an extract cleaning contractor

How it works

On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool first, and the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes an hour or so for an under-sink trap, longer for a larger unit. For a site near Wooburn Green, the work is booked around your opening hours, evenings and weekends included.

  1. We agree a time when the sinks aren’t needed.
  2. The trap is opened up and checked.
  3. We remove the grease layer and settled solids.
  4. The inside, baffles and outlet are cleaned.
  5. The trap is closed, tested and the next clean discussed.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
  • Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
  • Have your last certificate or report to hand

Advice

Part by part

School, care home and staff kitchens

Drains in care settings need to keep flowing. We fit visits around mealtimes.

Baffles and outlets

Every clean includes the baffles, inlet and outlet so the trap works as it should.

Keeping the system healthy

So the system stays in good health:

  • Keep access to the trap clear
  • Let us know if the kitchen gets busier
  • Fit sink strainers to catch food scraps
  • Get food waste into the bin, not the sink

Anything we notice beyond the trap, like a slow drain downstream, is pointed out. It may need a drainage specialist to look further.

More cooking means more grease in the trap. Booking cleans more often stops it overflowing.
