Grease trap cleaning in Great Haseley
No two traps are quite the same. Under-sink traps are compact and need frequent attention, while inline traps and interceptors hold more. We assess the trap and how fast it fills before suggesting how often it needs cleaning. Common call-outs are for an overdue grease trap and a larger grease trap that needs emptying, across restaurants and takeaways, pot wash sinks and kitchen waste pipes.
In a village or hamlet like Great Haseley, 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 report is your system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

Do you need grease trap cleaning in Great Haseley?
Food waste slips past sink strainers or gets rinsed down. Solids settle at the bottom of the trap and takes up space.
Most sites get in touch when they notice something like this:
- A larger grease trap that needs emptying
- Drains that gurgle and bubble
- A small trap that fills too quickly
- A bad smell from the sinks or drains
If you cater for weddings or events at a historic house in the area (Garsington Manor is about 3.5 miles west), deep cleans can be fitted between bookings.

How we price grease trap cleaning
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- How easy every part is to reach
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before any work starts.
What we need to know
A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- The postcode and the type of business
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
When it’s something else
Not every problem is solved by grease trap cleaning, and we will tell you before we start. It won’t put right:
- Grease set hard in the drain run
- Drains that are cracked or have collapsed
- A leaking sink waste or trap connection
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will say what we think.
What the work covers
- Under-sink grease traps
- Restaurants and takeaways
- Kitchen waste pipes
- Inline grease traps
- Pot wash sinks
- School and care home kitchens
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
How it works
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and it goes on the report too. All told, the work takes an hour or so for an under-sink trap, longer for a larger unit. Somewhere as small as Great Haseley, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- We agree a time when the sinks aren’t needed.
- We open the trap and look at its condition.
- Built-up grease and food waste are taken out.
- We clean the baffles, inlet and outlet.
- We close it up, check it drains and suggest when it needs cleaning again.
Before we arrive
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
Getting a quote
To get a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. You’ll normally have a quote within one working day.

Your questions about grease trap cleaning in Great Haseley
Can a school kitchen in Great Haseley be done out of term time?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. The FSA’s register shows about 2 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Great Haseley. Tell us your holiday dates and we’ll book the visit for when the site is empty.
Who inspects food businesses in Great Haseley?
Food hygiene inspections in Great Haseley are carried out by South Oxfordshire council. Photos from a deep clean are a simple record of what was done and when.
How much time does a grease trap clean need?
Typically, it takes less than an hour for many under-sink units. A large or very full trap takes longer and we will say so when we quote.
What paperwork should we keep on file?
Every certificate and report from each visit, filed in the maintenance log, along with your own cleaning log. BESA advises that certificates record the date, location and technician.
Do you cover Great Haseley?
Yes. We cover Great Haseley and the rest of Oxfordshire, within our South East and London area. To book, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
What happens if a grease trap is not cleaned?
An overfull trap lets grease into the drains. There it hardens on the pipe walls and causes blockages. Keeping the trap clean stops that happening.
What happens to the waste?
It leaves the site with us at the end of the visit. While we work, it’s kept contained so the area stays clean.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, fully. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it for clients who vet their contractors.

Leave it or put it right?

The cost depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
