For landlords and multi-site operators
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Oxfordshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Grease trap cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Horton-cum-Studley
A neglected grease trap stops doing its job. Further down the pipe, the grease cools and hardens, leading to slow drains, blockages and smells. Regular cleaning keeps it working. Typical jobs include an overdue grease trap and an under-sink trap that keeps filling up, on inline grease traps, kitchen waste pipes and school and care home kitchens.
In a village or hamlet like Horton-cum-Studley, 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. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

What your team can do, and what needs us
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
What we do, step by step
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes less than an hour for many under-sink units. If you can send pictures, we can arrive in Horton-cum-Studley knowing what to expect.
- We agree a time when the sinks are not needed.
- The trap is opened up and checked.
- We remove the grease layer and settled solids.
- We clean the baffles, inlet and outlet.
- The trap is closed, tested and the next clean discussed.
Before we arrive
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
Getting a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.
Advice
Why deal with it now?
Some kitchens try to fix slow drains with hot water or drain cleaners. That only moves the grease further down the pipe, where it sets again. Emptying and cleaning the trap deals with the source. Planning a trip to Horton-cum-Studley ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you are not sure what’s needed, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email for straight advice and a fixed quote.

What a clean won’t put right
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what grease trap cleaning won’t do:
- Grease deep in the drains, which needs jetting by a drainage contractor
- Sewer problems outside the premises
- Collapsed or damaged drains, which need a drainage contractor
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Commercial kitchens in Horton-cum-Studley
Food hygiene inspections in Horton-cum-Studley are the job of Cherwell council’s environmental health team. They look at the cleanliness of the whole kitchen: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment. Having the dates of the last deep clean to hand saves digging for them on the day. Horton-cum-Studley, about 50 miles from central London, is within our usual area. Evening, overnight and weekend visits are all possible.
Boarstall Tower, about 2.2 miles north-east, is one of the historic houses around Horton-cum-Studley; event kitchens at places like that work in bursts, so a deep clean after a busy season helps. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Barnabas or elsewhere in Horton-cum-Studley, a deep clean and an emptied grease trap before a busy season of events are worth booking. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Churchill Hospital (about 4.5 miles south-west), cook for long hours, so deep cleans and grease trap work are planned around patients’ meals.

What affects the cost of grease trap cleaning
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- The times the site is available
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Travel, parking and unloading
- How big the system is
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before any work starts.
What we need to know
You don’t need the technical terms. Just send:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
To get a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us 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 will usually have a quote within one working day.
Between visits
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Mention any increase in cooking
- Wipe grease off pans before washing them
- Avoid pouring boiling water down to shift grease
- Tell us when sinks start draining slowly
Scrape plates into the bin before washing up. Sink strainers help catch solids before they reach the trap.
If the kitchen has got busier, the trap fills faster. Booking cleans more often keeps the drains flowing.
