School, care home and staff kitchens
Drains in care settings need to keep flowing. We fit visits around mealtimes.
How we handle grease trap cleaning in Childrey
Kitchens in Childrey use us for grease trap cleaning, whether it’s an under-sink unit or a larger inline trap. Visits are booked around your service so washing up is not interrupted. If you’re dealing with an overdue grease trap and an under-sink unit that needs regular emptying, we can help, from kitchen waste pipes, school and care home kitchens and under-sink grease traps onwards.
Work in a small place like Childrey 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: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

What happens on the day
Protection comes first: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. Then we make the system safe and start. It takes less than an hour for many under-sink units, and we clear up before we go. If you can send photos, we can arrive in Childrey knowing what to expect.
- We start by finding the trap and checking its inlet and outlet.
- We ask for the sinks that drain into the trap not to be used.
- Built-up fat, oil and grease is removed from the trap.
- We clean the chambers, baffles and connections.
- The trap is reassembled, checked for leaks and the waste taken away.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards

What a clean won’t put right
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what grease trap cleaning won’t do:
- A leaking sink waste or trap connection
- Drains that need jetting rather than trap cleaning
- Broken pipework below ground
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on in Childrey
- Restaurants and takeaways
- Under-sink grease traps
- School and care home kitchens
- Inline grease traps
- Pot wash sinks
- Kitchen waste pipes
Looking after it afterwards
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Never pour used oil down the sink
- Keep the grease trap on a regular cleaning schedule
- Do not store things on top of the trap
- Keep strainers in every sink
Scrape plates into the bin before washing up. Sink strainers help catch solids so less solid waste gets through.
A trap that is left too long stops catching grease. Regular emptying keeps it working and avoids a blockage.

Kitchens in Childrey get their food hygiene inspections from Vale of White Horse council. Grease behind equipment or on a ceiling is the kind of thing an inspection can note. A record of each deep clean helps show the kitchen is kept in order. At about 60 miles from central London, Childrey sits well inside the area we cover. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as The Ridgeway Church of England (C) Primary School or anywhere near Childrey, the holidays are the time for a deep clean or a grease trap clean. If you look after a hall kitchen near Church of St Mary or anywhere in Childrey, a deep clean between busy seasons is easier than a scramble before a big event.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Childrey
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
What affects the cost of grease trap cleaning
There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re unsure, call 0345 646 2711 or email us for straight advice and a fixed quote.
What we need to know
You don’t need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Problems your staff have spotted
