Grease trap cleaning in Ascott d'Oyley
Kitchens in Ascott d'Oyley use us for grease trap cleaning, whether it’s an under-sink unit or a larger inline trap. Visits are booked around your service, so the kitchen keeps running. If you’re dealing with washing-up water that won’t drain away and drains clogged with fat, we can put it right.
In rural areas, a kitchen may drain to a private system rather than a public sewer, and fat getting past a grease trap can cause real trouble there.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

How we price grease trap cleaning
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Any permits to work or inductions
- What state the system is in
- The scale of the work
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.
What to send for a quote
Many jobs can be priced from pictures and some basics. Useful things to send:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
To get a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. You’ll usually have a quote within one working day.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
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. The work itself takes anything from under an hour to a few hours, depending on the trap. The timing of a visit to Ascott d'Oyley is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- First, we locate the grease trap and look at the pipework around it.
- The sinks feeding the trap are kept out of use while we work.
- The trap is emptied of grease and food waste.
- We clean the chambers, baffles and connections.
- We put it back together, run water through and remove the waste.
How to prepare
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms

Between visits
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Book trap cleans at a set interval
- Keep access to the trap clear
- Avoid pouring boiling water down to shift grease
- Keep strainers in every sink
We take the grease and solids away. Nothing is left for you to dispose of when we are done.
Fat that escapes the trap hardens in the pipework. Clearing it then is a bigger job so prevention is the easier route.

Grease trap cleaning around Ascott d'Oyley

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We are happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit ends with a dated report and photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Why deal with it now?
Pests are drawn to grease and food waste. A clean trap is less of an attraction, alongside good kitchen hygiene. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re not sure what’s needed, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

Common questions in Ascott d'Oyley
Can you get to a site in Ascott d'Oyley?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you come to Ascott d'Oyley after we close?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. It means the site in Ascott d'Oyley keeps running as normal. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we will book within them.
What paperwork should we keep on file?
The reports and certificates from each visit, plus your own logs. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs may all ask to see them, so keep them together and easy to find.
Will you tell us when the next visit is due?
Yes. The recommended date is on the report. BESA’s minimum intervals for kitchen extracts range from 3-monthly for heavy use to 12-monthly for light use, and fire dampers need testing at least once a year.
What about areas you cannot get to?
They’re marked on the report. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, and we can fit those.
Are you accredited?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We’ve been trading since 2009 and we are fully insured.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we will suggest a schedule and quote for it.
Can you clear our blocked drains as well?
Cleaning the trap deals with the grease it holds and that may solve a slow drain caused by the trap. A blockage deeper in the drains needs a drainage specialist.
