Grease trap cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Church Enstone
Kitchens in Church Enstone 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. Typical jobs include an under-sink trap that keeps filling up and gurgling drains in the kitchen, on pot wash sinks, under-sink grease traps and school and care home kitchens.
In rural areas, a kitchen may drain to a private system rather than a public sewer, and fat getting past a grease trap can cause real trouble there.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What staff can safely do
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
When something else is needed
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Plumbing leaks around the sink
- Grease set hard in the drain run
- A unit that can’t cope with the kitchen’s output
If you are not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Signs you need grease trap cleaning in Church Enstone
A busy kitchen in Church Enstone, or anywhere else, fills its grease trap faster. Traps sized for lighter use can struggle when cooking increases.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Gurgling drains in the kitchen
- Grease setting in the kitchen pipework
- An overdue grease trap
- An under-sink trap that keeps filling up
A summer deep clean suits schools such as Enstone Primary School, as the kitchen can be stripped back with no lunches to serve.

- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
How the visit works
Night work is normal for us. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so the site can open as normal afterwards.

- A visit is booked around your service.
- We open the trap and look at its condition.
- We remove the grease layer and settled solids.
- The inside, baffles and outlet are cleaned.
- We close it up, check it drains and suggest when it needs cleaning again.
Before we arrive
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions

Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts.

Questions from Church Enstone
Who inspects food businesses in Church Enstone?
The local authority for Church Enstone is West Oxfordshire council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. Inspection results feed into the food hygiene rating published by the Food Standards Agency.
Can you come to Church Enstone after we close?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. For many sites, pictures and a few details are enough, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No, not in itself. TR19® is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs check against, and many insurance policies ask for proof of TR19® cleaning. The legal duty sits in the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 in England and Wales.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not usually. Visits are timed for when the area is closed, such as overnight or at a weekend, so you keep your normal hours.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site in our area, with visits on a regular schedule.
What happens to the waste?
We contain it and take it with us. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go, so it doesn’t spread.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line and we’ll talk you through the next steps.
