For landlords and multi-site operators
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
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. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
About our grease trap cleaning in Bledington
Grease traps sit between the sinks and the drain, holding back fats, oils and grease. Cooling water lets the grease rise and separate, and clean water flows on. Over time, the trap fills up and has to be emptied and cleaned. Common call-outs are for foul odours from the grease trap and drains that gurgle and bubble, on pot wash sinks, under-sink grease traps and kitchen waste pipes.
In rural areas, a kitchen may drain to a private system rather than a public sewer, so keeping fat out with a working grease trap matters even more.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That is why every job is written up in a report with photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
When it’s something else
We won’t sell you work that does not address the problem, so these are the things it will not cover:
- A trap undersized for the amount of cooking
- Blockages further down the drainage network
- Drains that are cracked or have collapsed
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will say what we think before booking.

Advice
Also in Bledington
Different parts, different methods
Under-sink grease traps
Small grease traps sit under the 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.
Common questions in Bledington
Is Bledington within the area you cover?
Yes. Bledington is within the area we cover across London and the South East. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Which environmental health team covers Bledington?
The local authority for Bledington is West Oxfordshire council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. An officer may look behind equipment and at drains, so it pays to have the deep clean booked before those areas build up.
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’re fully insured.
Can you give me a price for grease trap cleaning?
No two traps are quite the same, so we price each one individually. You get a fixed quote, usually within one working day.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, 24/7. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
Do you take the waste away?
The waste leaves with us. Nothing greasy is left on site when we go.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We carry full insurance and have been trading since 2009.
Fixed quotes for grease trap cleaning in Bledington
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- How easy every part is to reach
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- What state the system is in
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 we’ll price it together.
What we need to know
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- The site address and the type of premises
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Grease trap cleaning around Bledington
In Bledington, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from West Oxfordshire council. The state of floors, drains and hard-to-reach corners all feeds into the inspection. Keeping a record of deep cleans and grease trap visits helps at inspection time.
School kitchens, at schools like Bledington Primary School for example, normally have their deep cleans and grease trap work done while the canteen is closed. Moore Cottage Hospital, about 4.9 miles west, is the nearest hospital to Bledington; healthcare kitchens can’t stop cooking, so deep cleans are worked around meal times. For a café close to Kingham station, a deep clean can be done between closing and the morning rush.

Why it’s worth doing now in Bledington
A full grease trap lets grease through to the drains. There it sets and narrows the pipe, until the drain blocks. Regular trap cleaning beats dealing with a blockage. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Bledington rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we survey first, from photos or on site, and why the quote is fixed before we start.
