What affects the quote in Fairford Leys
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- The condition of the system
- The scale of the work
- Travel, parking and unloading
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we survey first, from photos or on site, and the price is agreed before work begins.

About our grease trap cleaning in Fairford Leys
Grease trap cleaning keeps the drains running and the smells away. We empty the built-up grease and food solids and the chambers and baffles cleaned and the trap checked before we leave. The work covers pot wash sinks, kitchen waste pipes and school and care home kitchens, and common reasons people get in touch are a blocked kitchen drain caused by grease and washing-up water that won’t drain away.
Work in a smaller place like Fairford Leys is planned around your opening hours, and the journey is planned ahead.
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.

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- Fit sink strainers to catch food scraps
- Let us know if the kitchen gets busier
- Collect waste cooking oil separately
- Get food waste into the bin, not the sink
Once the trap is cleaned and refitted, the sinks can be used right away. Water is run through to check everything flows before we leave.
A fixed cleaning interval means the trap never gets overfull. We agree the timing with you.
Different parts, different methods
Grease interceptors
Bigger kitchens may have a larger grease interceptor. With more capacity, they fill more slowly but they still need cleaning.
Restaurant and takeaway kitchens
A blocked drain in a busy kitchen can stop service. Regular trap cleaning helps prevent it.
Do you need grease trap cleaning in Fairford Leys?
Waste cooking oil poured down the sink fills a grease trap far faster than washing-up. Small amounts soon build up.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- A bad smell from the sinks or drains
- An inline trap or interceptor due for cleaning
- An under-sink unit that needs regular emptying
- Gurgling from the sink waste
School kitchens, at schools like St Mary's Church of England School for example, typically have their deep cleans and grease trap work done while the canteen is closed.

What we do, step by step
There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, while signing off means the written report and pictures. Most of the time goes on the work itself, which takes an hour or so for an under-sink trap, longer for a larger unit. A site near Fairford Leys normally has room to park, so the questions are about access to the system and your hours.
- We start by finding the trap and checking its inlet and outlet.
- We ask for the sinks that drain into the trap not to be used.
- We take out the layer of fat, oil and grease and any solids.
- The inside, baffles and pipe connections are cleaned.
- The trap is reassembled, checked for leaks and the waste taken away.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. 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.
Why act early in Fairford Leys
Grease that leaves the kitchen ends up somewhere. It adds to blockages further down the drains and sewer. A well-maintained trap keeps it where it can be removed. It’s better to plan the work at a site near Fairford Leys than wait for a failure.
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you’ll get one fixed quote.
