Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
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.
Grease trap cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Berrick Salome
Think of the grease trap as a filter for the kitchen’s drains. When it’s looked after, you hardly know it’s there, but neglected, it causes blockages and smells. A regular clean keeps it healthy. The work covers kitchen waste pipes, restaurants and takeaways and under-sink grease traps, and the jobs we see most are an under-sink unit that needs regular emptying and foul odours from the grease trap.
In a village or hamlet like Berrick Salome, commercial kitchens are few, perhaps a pub, a school or a care home. Each still needs the occasional deep clean and its grease trap kept clear.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Berrick Salome: your questions answered
Can you come to Berrick Salome after we close?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The site is handed back ready to open. When you call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us, mention when the site is quiet.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Berrick Salome?
Kitchens in Berrick Salome are inspected by South Oxfordshire council’s environmental health officers. Keep the dates of your last deep clean and grease trap visit with your food safety records, ready if an officer asks.
What does a grease trap clean cost?
Every trap is different, so we quote once we know what you have. We give you a fixed price, typically within one working day.
Do you take the waste away?
The fat, oil, grease and solids we remove go with us. None of it goes back into the drains at any point.
Which sectors do you work in?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. We fit the work around how the site operates.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Photos often do the job, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
What problems does a full grease trap cause?
An overfull trap stops separating grease. Slow drains, bad smells and blockages follow.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We carry full insurance and have been trading since 2009.
When it’s something else
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so here are the limits:
- Collapsed or damaged drains, which need a drainage contractor
- Grease set hard in the drain run
- A leaking sink waste or trap connection
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will say what we think.

Why deal with it now?
Grease that leaves the kitchen ends up somewhere. It adds to blockages further down the drains and sewer. Keeping it in the trap, and emptying the trap, is the responsible thing to do. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we survey first, from photos or on site, and why the quote is fixed before we start.

Looking after it afterwards
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Get food waste into the bin, not the sink
- Keep strainers in every sink
- Don’t rely on hot water to clear grease
- Keep waste oil out of the drains
Between cleans, keep food scraps out of the sink. Use strainers in the sink plugholes so less solid waste gets through.
More cooking means more grease in the trap. Shortening the cleaning interval now stops it overflowing.
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. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Berrick Salome before we set off.
- First, we find the trap and look at its connections.
- We make sure nothing drains into the trap.
- Grease and solids are removed from the trap.
- The chambers and baffles are cleaned.
- The trap is refitted, tested with water and the waste taken away.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions

What the work involves, part by part
Under-sink grease traps
Under-sink traps are compact units fitted below the kitchen sink. They fill quickly, so they need frequent emptying.
Inline grease traps
Inline traps often take waste from several sinks or appliances. That means more grease, so regular cleaning matters.
