How we handle grease trap cleaning in Charney Bassett
Grease is behind most blocked kitchen drains. Further on, grease can build into fatbergs in the sewer. A grease trap that’s emptied and cleaned regularly holds them back. If you are dealing with a small trap that fills too quickly and grease setting in the kitchen pipework, we can put it right, from school and care home kitchens, kitchen waste pipes and restaurants and takeaways onwards.
Somewhere as small as Charney Bassett, the kitchens that need a deep clean are typically a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Wherever there is one, it needs its grease trap and hard-to-reach areas kept clean.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with pictures, 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
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- The times the site is available
- How big the system is
- How easy every part is to reach
- The condition of the system
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.
What to send for a quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- A few general shots of the system
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.
What a clean won’t put right
We will not sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so here are the limits:
- A unit that cannot cope with the kitchen’s output
- Drains that need jetting rather than trap cleaning
- Collapsed or damaged drains, which need a drainage contractor
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Parts of the system we cover
- Inline grease traps
- Restaurants and takeaways
- Kitchen waste pipes
- Pot wash sinks
- School and care home kitchens
- Under-sink grease traps
Charney Bassett questions
Can you get to a site in Charney Bassett?
Yes. Charney Bassett is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Which environmental health team covers Charney Bassett?
Kitchens in Charney Bassett are inspected by Vale of White Horse council’s environmental health officers. An officer may look behind equipment and at drains, so it pays to have the deep clean booked before those areas build up.
How much time does a grease trap clean need?
Most grease trap cleans take a short visit for a small trap and longer for an inline unit or interceptor including checking it drains. It’s booked when the sinks are not needed.
How far ahead should we book?
Book as early as you can for planned work, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work and have been trading since 2009.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, either from photos and details you send or on a site visit. Then you get a fixed quote.
Will you tell us when the next visit is due?
Yes. The report recommends when the next visit should be, based on what we found and how the system is used.
Commercial kitchens in Charney Bassett

Looking after it afterwards
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Don’t rely on hot water to clear grease
- Don’t wait for a blockage to book a clean
- Make sure the trap can be reached easily
- Fit sink strainers to catch food scraps
Anything we notice beyond the trap, like a slow drain downstream, is pointed out. That may need a drainage contractor to investigate.
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 Charney Bassett
Fats, oils and grease from cooking and washing up go down the sink. In the trap, they cool and separate, and the layer gets thicker day by day.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- Grease setting in the kitchen pipework
- An overdue grease trap
- Drains that gurgle and bubble
- Washing-up water that will not drain away
Longworth House, about 2.9 miles north, is one of the historic houses around Charney Bassett; event kitchens at places like that work in bursts, so a deep clean after a busy season helps.

Part by part
School, care home and staff kitchens
Kitchens that serve set mealtimes fill their traps more steadily. A regular interval suits them well.
Under-sink grease traps
We empty and clean under-sink traps without disrupting the rest of the kitchen and check the seal on the lid.
The process
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and the same goes into the written report. All told, the work takes anything from under an hour to a few hours, depending on the trap. If you can send photos, we can arrive in Charney Bassett knowing what to expect.
- We start by finding the trap and checking its inlet and outlet.
- Nothing drains into the trap while it’s open.
- The trap is emptied of grease and food waste.
- We clean the chambers, baffles and connections.
- Once it’s refitted, water is run through to check it drains, and we take the waste with us.
Preparing for the visit
- Move anything stored near the system
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
How to get a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your photos and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before we start.
Advice
Why it’s worth doing now in Charney Bassett
Once the trap is full, grease heads for the drain. It hardens on the pipe walls, until the drain blocks. Cleaning the trap regularly is far easier than clearing a blocked drain. Somewhere as small as Charney Bassett, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before work begins.
