Grease trap cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Henley Street
A neglected grease trap stops doing its job. Fat sets in the pipes downstream, leading to slow drains, blockages and smells. Regular cleaning keeps it working. If you have a kitchen drain that smells and an interceptor full of grease and solids, we can put it right, from inline grease traps, pot wash sinks and restaurants and takeaways onwards.
Work in a small place like Henley Street starts with agreeing a date and access.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Fixed quotes for grease trap cleaning in Henley Street
There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Parking and loading at the site
- The size of the system
- How easy every part is to reach
You won’t find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll explain what it covers.
Helping us quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
To help us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, a few pictures and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Henley Street
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
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.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.

Advice
Common questions in Henley Street
Can you work in Henley Street outside opening hours?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. That way a site in Henley Street does not have to lose a day’s trading. When you phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, mention when the site is quiet.
Will you come out to Henley Street?
Yes, Henley Street is part of our area, however small the site. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Do you take the waste away?
We remove all the waste we take out. None of it goes back into the drains at any point.
Where does the waste go?
It’s contained and taken away. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go, so it does not spread.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
Not in itself. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19® as the benchmark, and many insurance policies ask for proof of TR19® cleaning. The legal duty sits in the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 in England and Wales.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, and the emergency line covers the rest.
Will I get paperwork for my records?
Yes. It’s the record insurers and inspectors ask to see: a written, dated record with photos of what we did and anything we couldn’t access.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Photos often do the job, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
Why act early in Henley Street
Pests are drawn to grease and food waste. Keeping the trap clean removes something they’re looking for as part of a clean kitchen. A fault that closes a site in a village like Henley Street affects everyone who depends on it.
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered and we’ll price it together.
