Burdrop grease trap cleaning
Grease trap cleaning for Burdrop, from a team that has been trading since 2009. Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus a 24/7 emergency line.
- Drains that gurgle and bubble
- An interceptor full of grease and solids
- A kitchen drain that smells
How we price grease trap cleaning
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- The condition we find in the survey
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- How big the system is
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
Helping us quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- The site address and the type of premises
- Any previous report or certificate
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, and then send you a fixed quote. To start, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
Grease trap cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Burdrop
A grease trap catches fats, oils and grease from the kitchen sinks before they reach the drain. As the waste water cools, the grease floats and stays in the trap while the water carries on to the drain. Over time, the trap fills up and needs emptying and cleaning. We’re often asked to deal with an interceptor full of grease and solids and foul odours from the grease trap, on restaurants and takeaways, pot wash sinks and kitchen waste pipes.
Rural kitchens may drain to a septic tank or a private drain rather than straight into a public sewer, so keeping fat out with a working grease trap matters even more.
We’ve been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

- A written report with pictures after every visit
- Full insurance on every job

Multi-site and managed buildings
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.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Every visit ends with a dated report and pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
When it’s something else
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Blockages in the public sewer beyond the property
- Broken pipework below ground
- A leaking sink waste or trap connection
If you are not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Parts of the system we cover
- School and care home kitchens
- Pot wash sinks
- Restaurants and takeaways
- Under-sink grease traps
- Kitchen waste pipes

Signs you need grease trap cleaning in Burdrop
Food waste slips past sink strainers or gets rinsed down. Solids settle at the bottom of the trap and takes up space.
Most sites get in touch after spotting something like this:
- A slow-draining kitchen sink
- A grease trap that hasn’t been emptied in a long time
- A blocked kitchen drain caused by grease
- A small trap that fills too quickly
School kitchens, at schools like Sibford Gower Endowed Primary School for example, typically have their deep cleans and grease trap work done while the canteen is closed.

Burdrop questions
Do you work in villages like Burdrop?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Burdrop included. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Which council inspects kitchens in Burdrop?
The local authority for Burdrop is Cherwell council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. How often a business is inspected depends on the council’s risk rating for it, so the kitchen needs to be ready at any time.
What paperwork should we keep on file?
Visit reports, certificates and your in-house cleaning logs. They’re what an insurer, fire officer or EHO may ask for, so keep them together and easy to find.
How much notice should we give?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
Which grease traps does the service cover?
Under-sink units, inline traps and interceptors are all covered. Let us know what’s fitted and we’ll plan around it.
How regularly does a grease trap need emptying?
There’s no single answer. The interval depends on how quickly your trap fills, then suggest a schedule.
How do you protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. We keep the work contained and clean down when we finish.
Does the report say when we need you again?
Yes. The report recommends when the next visit should be, based on what we found and how the system is used.

The process
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the photos you sent. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. From there, it takes a short visit for a small trap and longer for an inline unit or interceptor. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Burdrop.
- First, we find the trap and look at its connections.
- We make sure nothing drains into the trap.
- We empty out the fat, oil, grease and solids.
- We clean every part of the inside.
- The trap is refitted, tested with water and the waste taken away.
Before we arrive
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
