Commercial kitchens in Fencott
Food hygiene inspections in Fencott are the job of Cherwell council’s environmental health team. The state of floors, drains and hard-to-reach corners all feeds into the inspection. A record of each deep clean helps show the kitchen is kept in order. Fencott, about 52 miles from central London, is within our usual area. Visits are booked around your hours, evenings and weekends included.
For schools such as Charlton-on-Otmoor Church of England Primary School, deep cleans and grease trap work are usually booked for the holidays. Healthcare kitchens cook through the year, so a deep clean has to be fitted around meals; Bicester Community Hospital, about 3.8 miles north, is the nearest hospital to Fencott.

About our grease trap cleaning in Fencott
We clean grease traps for kitchens in Fencott, from small under-sink units to inline traps and interceptors. We come when the sinks are not needed, so the kitchen keeps running. The work covers school and care home kitchens, kitchen waste pipes and under-sink grease traps, and the jobs we see most are an interceptor full of grease and solids and grease setting in the kitchen pipework.
In a village or hamlet like Fencott, commercial kitchens are few, perhaps a pub, a school or a care home. Each still needs the occasional deep clean and its grease trap kept clear.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

What we do, step by step
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes less than an hour for many under-sink units, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Fencott run smoothly.
- We start by finding the trap and checking its inlet and outlet.
- 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.
- Once it’s refitted, water is run through to check it drains, and we take the waste with us.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
How to get a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Advice
What affects the quote in Fencott
The price is fixed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- What state the system is in
- The number of sites or systems
- Any permits to work or inductions
- The times the site is available
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before work begins.
What we need to know
When you call or email, these details help:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- The site address and the type of premises
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
What grease trap cleaning can’t fix
We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what grease trap cleaning won’t do:
- Grease set hard in the drain run
- Sewer problems outside the premises
- A grease trap that’s too small for the kitchen
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think.
Parts of the system we cover
- Inline grease traps
- Restaurants and takeaways
- School and care home kitchens
- Under-sink grease traps
- Pot wash sinks
- Kitchen waste pipes
Do you need grease trap cleaning in Fencott?
Food waste slips past sink strainers or gets rinsed down. It settles in the trap as solids and fill it from below.
The symptoms we are asked about most include:
- Washing-up water that won’t drain away
- Grease setting in the kitchen pipework
- A larger grease trap that needs emptying
- A full, neglected grease trap
If you cater for weddings or events at a historic house in the area (Boarstall Tower is about 3.2 miles south-east), deep cleans can be fitted between bookings.
Before you book anyone
- What records you will receive afterwards
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
- If they look at the system before pricing
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that is where we come in.
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.

What happens if it’s left?
A dirty grease trap smells. Rotting food and grease give off foul odours and the smell carries. Cleaning it removes the cause. It’s simpler to plan the work at Fencott now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
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.

Questions from Fencott
Can the work in Fencott be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Fencott needn’t be disturbed. Let us know the hours you are closed and we’ll book within them.
Which environmental health team covers Fencott?
The local authority for Fencott is Cherwell council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. How often a business is inspected depends on the council’s risk rating for it, so the kitchen needs to be ready at any time.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, any time. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line, and we will advise on what to do next.
Do you clean under-sink and inline grease traps?
Under-sink and inline grease traps, and larger interceptors. Each one is emptied, cleaned and checked whatever the size.
What should go in our maintenance log?
Each report and certificate we give you, filed in the maintenance log with your in-house cleaning records. BESA says certificates should show the date, location and technician.
How do you protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. We keep the work contained and leave the area clean.
Will I get paperwork for my records?
Yes, always. The report is dated and includes pictures, plus a certificate via the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal for TR19® Grease cleans. Keep it in your maintenance log.
