Grease trap cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Kiddington
Grease is behind most blocked kitchen drains. Further on, grease can build into fatbergs in the sewer. A well-maintained trap keeps them out of the drains. Typical jobs include a small trap that fills too quickly and a grease trap that hasn’t been emptied in a long time, across kitchen waste pipes, inline grease traps and pot wash sinks.
In a village or hamlet like Kiddington, 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.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
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 will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
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.
How the job changes from site to site
Under-sink grease traps
Under-sink traps are cleaned in a short visit and check the seal on the lid.
Baffles and outlets
We check the inlet, outlet and baffles at each clean so water flows freely.
Kiddington kitchens: local notes
Kitchens in Kiddington get their food hygiene inspections from West Oxfordshire council. Grease behind equipment or on a ceiling is the kind of thing an inspection can note. Keeping a record of deep cleans and grease trap visits helps at inspection time.
Hall kitchens near Church of St Nicholas or elsewhere in Kiddington may have older sinks and drains, so a grease trap check is worth adding to a deep clean.

Why act early in Kiddington
Some kitchens try to fix slow drains with hot water or drain cleaners. It just shifts the grease further along, where it sets again. The lasting fix starts with the trap. A fault that closes a site in a village like Kiddington affects everyone who depends on it.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we survey first, from photos or on site, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.

Common questions in Kiddington
Do you work at weekends in Kiddington?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The work in Kiddington can fit around your hours. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Which environmental health team covers Kiddington?
That is West Oxfordshire council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Kiddington. 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 accreditations do you have?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We are fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
Where does the grease from the trap go?
The waste leaves with us. You’re not left with anything to dispose of when we go.
Will you tell us when the next visit is due?
Yes. We put a recommended next date on the report. BESA’s minimum intervals for kitchen extracts range from 3-monthly for heavy use to 12-monthly for light use, while fire dampers are tested at least annually.
What does TR19 mean?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It isn’t legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Normally not. Out-of-hours visits keep the disruption down. Larger jobs can be phased over several visits so parts stay in use.
Which sectors do you work in?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, as well as food production and leisure sites.

How the visit works
Your staff do not need to do much on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Kiddington run smoothly.
- First, we locate the grease trap and look at the pipework around it.
- Nothing drains into the trap while it’s open.
- Built-up fat, oil and grease is removed from the trap.
- We clean the chambers, baffles and connections.
- The trap is reassembled, checked for leaks and the waste taken away.
How to prepare
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need

For landlords and multi-site operators
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with pictures.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- Wipe grease off pans before washing them
- Keep waste oil out of the drains
- Don’t store things on top of the trap
- Keep the grease trap on a regular cleaning schedule
Keep used oil out of the drains, and the trap will stay cleaner for longer. It makes a real difference.
If the sinks are slow or smelly, the trap may be full. Getting it cleaned now can stop a full blockage down the line.
When to call us in Kiddington
Every pan and plate washed sends grease towards the drain. They cool and float to the top of the trap and the grease layer grows.
Look out for any of the following:
- An inline trap or interceptor due for cleaning
- Sinks that drain slowly
- A small trap that fills too quickly
- Grease setting in the kitchen pipework
If you cater for weddings or events at a historic house in the area (Blenheim Palace is about 4.6 miles south), deep cleans can be fitted between bookings.
