Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
How we handle grease trap cleaning in Aston Rowant
Fats, oils and grease are the main cause of blocked kitchen drains. Further on, grease can build into fatbergs in the sewer. A well-maintained trap keeps them out of the drains. If you’re dealing with a regular cleaning plan for the grease trap and a blocked kitchen drain caused by grease, we can help.
Work in a small place like Aston Rowant starts with agreeing a date and access, and the deep clean is the same as anywhere: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that’s where we come in.
Honest limits
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Grease deep in the drains, which needs jetting by a drainage contractor
- Plumbing leaks around the sink
- Blockages in the public sewer beyond the property
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will give you a straight answer.
Where we work
- Restaurants and takeaways
- Kitchen waste pipes
- Inline grease traps
- Under-sink grease traps
- Pot wash sinks
- School and care home kitchens
Aftercare tips
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Mention any increase in cooking
- Never pour used oil down the sink
- Keep the grease trap on a regular cleaning schedule
- Scrape plates and pans into the bin before washing up
You’ll get our view on how often the trap needs cleaning. That depends on how quickly it filled and how much the kitchen cooks.
Grease that gets past the trap sets in the drains. Clearing it then is a bigger job, so it’s far better to keep the trap clean.
When to call us in Aston Rowant
A full trap can’t hold any more grease. It then builds up in the drains and the sewer beyond, where it can form blockages.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Gurgling drains in the kitchen
- Scheduled grease trap emptying
- An under-sink unit that needs regular emptying
- A blocked kitchen drain caused by grease
If you look after a hall kitchen near Church of St Peter and St Paul or anywhere in Aston Rowant, a deep clean between busy seasons is easier than a scramble before a big event.

FAQs for Aston Rowant
Who inspects food businesses in Aston Rowant?
The local authority for Aston Rowant is South Oxfordshire council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. Keep the dates of your last deep clean and grease trap visit with your food safety records, ready if an officer asks.
Is Aston Rowant within the area you cover?
Yes, Aston Rowant is part of our area, however small the site. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
How regularly does a grease trap need emptying?
It varies. We look at how full the trap is and how quickly it fills, then suggest a schedule.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before we start, and anything we remove is contained. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, to suit the system and how it’s used.
Will the grease trap clean disrupt the kitchen?
Only briefly, and only the sinks that feed the trap. We plan the visit for a quieter time wherever possible.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it and the fixed quote is built on it.
What happens if a grease trap isn’t cleaned?
An overfull trap lets grease into the drains. It sets there and narrows the pipes until they block. Regular cleaning prevents it.
