Grease trap cleaning in Duns Tew, done properly
Grease is behind most blocked kitchen drains. Down the line, they can add to fatbergs in the sewer. A grease trap that’s emptied and cleaned regularly keeps them out of the drains. We are often asked to deal with a small trap that fills too quickly and scheduled grease trap emptying, on under-sink grease traps, school and care home kitchens and pot wash sinks.
Rural kitchens may drain to a septic tank or a private drain rather than straight into a public sewer, and fat getting past a grease trap can cause real trouble there.
Each visit ends with a written report and pictures, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What your team can do, and what needs us
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.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
What we do, step by step
The first job on site is protection: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes an hour or so for an under-sink trap, longer for a larger unit, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Duns Tew and turn up when the site is quiet.
- First, we locate the grease trap and look at the pipework around it.
- Nothing drains into the trap while it’s open.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms

How the job changes from site to site
Inline grease traps
Access to an inline trap can be in a floor or cupboard. We ask about access when we quote.
Restaurant and takeaway kitchens
Visits are booked when the sinks are not in use so you don’t lose trade.
Why it’s worth doing now in Duns Tew
Grease that gets past the trap doesn’t disappear. It can build up in the drains and join fatbergs in the sewer. A well-maintained trap keeps it where it can be removed. Somewhere as small as Duns Tew, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we survey first, from photos or on site, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.
What you get with us
- A single point of contact for sites across the South East and London
- Work around your opening hours, with 24/7 emergency cover
- Ventilation hygiene specialists since 2009
- We’re fully insured

How we price grease trap cleaning
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- The condition we find in the survey
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- The times the site is available
The cost depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.
Asking for a quote
We can often survey from pictures. The most useful are:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
For grease trap cleaning in Duns Tew, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos. Let us know the site type and the opening hours, plus photos or the previous report if they’re to hand. A fixed quote normally follows within one working day.

Duns Tew questions
Can the work in Duns Tew be done at night or at weekends?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The work in Duns Tew can fit around your hours. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Duns Tew?
In Duns Tew, it’s Cherwell council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Inspection results feed into the food hygiene rating published by the Food Standards Agency.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a small pub to a hospital. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
What accreditations do you have?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
Who is the responsible person?
The law calls them the responsible person. That’s generally the employer or the person in control of the premises, and where several people have control, each can have duties. Your lease and fire risk assessment should make it clear.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, depending on what the system needs.
Which records should we keep?
Each report and certificate we give you, kept together in your maintenance log with your in-house cleaning records. BESA advises that certificates record the date, location and technician.
What’s the right interval for grease trap cleaning?
It depends on the size of the trap and how busy the kitchen is. A small trap fills more quickly than a large one and the busier the kitchen, the faster it fills. We’ll suggest an interval after the first clean.
Do you need grease trap cleaning in Duns Tew?
Waste cooking oil poured down the sink overloads the trap fast. Even small amounts add up.
