When to call us in Great Western Park

Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- An interceptor full of grease and solids
- Drains clogged with fat
- An under-sink trap that keeps filling up
- A full, neglected grease trap
Historic houses such as Clifton Hampden Manor (about 4.4 miles north-east) are part of the area around Great Western Park, and if you run event catering at a venue like that, a deep clean between seasons helps.

About our grease trap cleaning in Great Western Park
A neglected grease trap stops doing its job. Further down the pipe, the grease cools and hardens, leading to slow drains, blockages and smells. A trap that is cleaned regularly keeps grease where it belongs. If you’re dealing with sinks that drain slowly and a regular cleaning plan for the grease trap, we can help, from restaurants and takeaways, under-sink grease traps and kitchen waste pipes onwards.
Work in a smaller place like Great Western Park is planned around your opening hours, and the journey is planned ahead.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

Grease trap cleaning in Great Western Park: local notes
There are about 31 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 27 takeaways in and around Great Western Park, up to about a mile and a half out, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. A grease trap in kitchens like these fills steadily and needs emptying before it overflows. In Great Western Park, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Vale of White Horse council. 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.
If you look after a hall kitchen near Church of St Matthew or anywhere in Great Western Park, a deep clean between busy seasons is easier than a scramble before a big event. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Abingdon Community Hospital (about 4.7 miles north), cook for long hours, so deep cleans and grease trap work are planned around patients’ meals.

Different parts, different methods
School, care home and staff kitchens
Kitchens that serve set mealtimes fill their traps more steadily. A regular interval suits them well.
Restaurant and takeaway kitchens
We time visits to avoid service so you don’t lose trade.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit ends with a dated report and pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.

Aftercare tips
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Report slow or smelly sinks early
- Keep access to the trap clear
- Collect waste cooking oil separately
- Avoid pouring boiling water down to shift grease
Collect waste cooking oil separately rather than pouring it down the sink and the trap will not fill as quickly. It’s the single easiest way to help.
Setting regular cleans takes the guesswork out. The interval is set to suit the trap and the kitchen.
How the visit works
Every visit runs to the same pattern: protect the area, make the system safe, do the work, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself takes anything from under an hour to a few hours, depending on the trap. For a site near Great Western Park, the work is booked around your opening hours, evenings and weekends included.
- We find the trap and check how it’s connected.
- Nothing drains into the trap while it’s open.
- The trap is emptied of grease and food waste.

Advice
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 shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Your questions about grease trap cleaning in Great Western Park
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Great Western Park?
The local authority for Great Western Park is Vale of White Horse 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.
Do you work overnight in Great Western Park?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The work in Great Western Park can fit around your hours. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
What accreditations do you have?
We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we are fully insured.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
How often should a grease trap be cleaned?
It varies with the trap and the kitchen. Slow or smelly sinks between cleans mean it needs doing more often and we’ll adjust the schedule.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
The report shows them clearly. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, and we can fit those.
Do you take the waste away?
We take it away. There’s nothing left for your team to deal with once the clean is done.
Which grease traps does the service cover?
We clean under-sink traps, inline traps and interceptors. Tell us what you have and we’ll plan around it.
What a clean won’t put right
We will not sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so here are the limits:
- Drains that need jetting rather than trap cleaning
- A unit that can’t cope with the kitchen’s output
- Blockages further down the drainage network
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
