What your team can do, and what needs us
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
How we handle grease trap cleaning in Elvendon
Kitchens in Elvendon use us for grease trap cleaning, from small under-sink units to inline traps and interceptors. We come when the sinks aren’t needed so washing up isn’t interrupted. The work covers inline grease traps, under-sink grease traps and restaurants and takeaways, and common reasons people get in touch are a grease trap that hasn’t been emptied in a long time and gurgling from the sink waste.
Rural kitchens may drain to a septic tank or a private drain rather than straight into a public sewer, so keeping fat out with a working grease trap matters even more.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That is why every job is written up in a report with photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Elvendon kitchens: local notes
It’s South Oxfordshire council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Elvendon. Grease behind equipment or on a ceiling is the kind of thing an inspection can note. Photos and dates from each deep clean make a useful record. Elvendon, about 43 miles from central London, is within our usual area. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you.
A summer deep clean suits schools such as The Oratory Preparatory School, as the kitchen can be stripped back with no lunches to serve.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- Hot water only moves grease further down
- Get food waste into the bin, not the sink
- Tell us when sinks start draining slowly
- Mention any increase in cooking
Keep used oil out of the drains and the trap won’t fill as quickly. It’s the single easiest way to help.
Grease that gets past the trap sets in the drains. Clearing it then is a bigger job, so it’s far better to keep the trap clean.
What happens on the day
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. The visit takes an hour or two in most kitchens, depending on the size and condition of the trap. Visits to a village like Elvendon are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- First, we find the trap and look at its connections.
- We make sure nothing drains into the trap.
- Grease and solids are removed from the trap.
- We clean every part of the inside.
- We refit it, run water through and remove the waste.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
When it’s something else
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- A unit that cannot cope with the kitchen’s output
- A leaking sink waste or trap connection
- Grease deep in the drains, which needs jetting by a drainage contractor
If you are not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will give you a straight answer.
Where we work
- Under-sink grease traps
- Kitchen waste pipes

Common problems we fix in Elvendon
Fats, oils and grease from cooking and washing up go down the sink. They cool and float to the top of the trap, and the layer gets thicker day by day.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- An under-sink trap that keeps filling up
- Sinks that drain slowly
- Gurgling drains in the kitchen
- A bad smell from the sinks or drains
Historic houses such as Basildon Park (about 2.1 miles south-west) are part of the area around Elvendon, and if you run event catering at a venue like that, a deep clean between seasons helps.
