Grease trap cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Chinnor
A grease trap catches fats, oils and grease from the kitchen sinks before they reach the drain. Cooling water lets the grease rise and separate while the water carries on to the drain. Over time, the trap fills up and has to be emptied and cleaned. If you have a kitchen drain that smells and drains that gurgle and bubble, we can put it right.
Kitchens around a smaller place like Chinnor are often in older buildings, with drains and grease traps that have been there for years. Smells and slow drains are the usual warning signs.
We have been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.

What we do, step by step
Your staff don’t need to do much on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and the rest is down to us. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. Tell us when your site near Chinnor is quiet and the visit will be booked for then.
- We locate the trap and check how it’s fitted.
- Sinks feeding the trap are taken out of use.
- We empty out the fat, oil, grease and solids.
- The chambers and baffles are cleaned.
- We refit it, run water through and remove the waste.
Preparing for the visit

Fat from washing up sets hard in pipes, and kitchens like these produce plenty of it. In Chinnor, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from South Oxfordshire council.

About 38 miles out from central London, Chinnor is part of the South East area we work across. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Chinnor
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.

Part by part
Baffles and outlets
Clean water leaves through the outlet. If it’s blocked or greasy, the trap backs up.
School, care home and staff kitchens
Care home and hospital kitchens need their drains working all the time. Visits are planned between meals.
What happens if it’s left?
In Chinnor, as anywhere, grease trap cleaning is a short, routine visit. Waiting for a blockage turns it into an urgent problem and usually at the worst moment. Even a site near Chinnor that is only busy part of the week needs its system checked on a schedule.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.
