Grease trap cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Deddington
Smells from the sink, gurgling drains or slow drainage all point to the grease trap. In Deddington, as everywhere we work, our team empties and cleans the trap and run water through to check it drains. If you have washing-up water that won’t drain away and drains that gurgle and bubble, we can put it right, from inline grease traps, kitchen waste pipes and pot wash sinks onwards.
In a village or hamlet like Deddington, commercial kitchens are few, perhaps a pub, a school or a care home. Wherever there is one, it needs its grease trap and hard-to-reach areas kept clean.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with photos of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

When to call us in Deddington
Food scraps go down the sink with the washing-up water. Solids settle at the bottom of the trap and takes up space.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- A larger grease trap that needs emptying
- Scheduled grease trap emptying
- Drains clogged with fat
- Washing-up water that won’t drain away
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Peter and St Paul or elsewhere in Deddington, a deep clean and an emptied grease trap before a busy season of events are worth booking.

Deddington kitchens: local notes
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 3 restaurants, cafés and works canteens in and around Deddington, up to about a mile and a half out. A grease trap in kitchens like these fills steadily and needs emptying before it overflows. It’s Cherwell council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Deddington. 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.
Healthcare kitchens cook through the year, so a deep clean has to be fitted around meals; Horton General Hospital, about 5 miles north, is the nearest hospital to Deddington. If you run event catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Broughton Castle is about 5 miles north-west), a deep clean before or after the busy season is worth planning.

Deddington questions

Can one contract cover all our sites?

Why act early in Deddington
Wherever the kitchen is in Deddington, backed-up drains stop it working. Sinks won’t empty, and dirty water can back up. Keeping the trap clean reduces the risk. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.
Why book with us
- CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, with ISO 9001
- One contact for all your sites in London and the South East
- In business since 2009
- Fixed quotes, normally within one working day
What your team can do, and what needs us
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.
Different parts, different methods
Under-sink grease traps
Under-sink units are easy to forget. When they fill, the sink slows and starts to smell.
Restaurant and takeaway kitchens
We time visits to avoid service so the kitchen isn’t disrupted.
What we do, step by step
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the work takes less than an hour for many under-sink units. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Deddington before we set off.
- We find the trap and check how it’s connected.
- The sinks feeding the trap are kept out of use while we work.
- Built-up fat, oil and grease is removed from the trap.
- Every part of the trap is scraped and cleaned, including the baffles.
- The trap is reassembled, checked for leaks and the waste taken away.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Have your last certificate or report to hand

Aftercare tips
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Book trap cleans at a set interval
- Let us know if the kitchen gets busier
- Fit sink strainers to catch food scraps
- Do not rely on hot water to clear grease
We take the grease and solids away. There’s no greasy waste left on site when we are done.
Setting regular cleans takes the guesswork out. The interval is set to suit the trap and the kitchen.
