Kingston Blount: your questions answered
Who inspects food businesses in Kingston Blount?
Food hygiene inspections in Kingston Blount are carried out by South Oxfordshire council. Keep the dates of your last deep clean and grease trap visit with your food safety records, ready if an officer asks.
Can you get to a site in Kingston Blount?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
What problems does a full grease trap cause?
A full trap cannot catch any more grease. It then sets in the drains, causing blockages and smells and can end up adding to sewer blockages.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, from your photos and details, or with a visit where needed. Then you get a fixed quote.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
Which grease traps does the service cover?
Both under-sink and inline traps, plus interceptors. A photo helps us see what’s fitted and we will confirm.
Do you take the waste away?
We take the grease and solids away with us. Nothing greasy is left on site when we go.
What types of premises do you cover?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, plus food production and leisure sites.
About our grease trap cleaning in Kingston Blount
Grease traps sit between the sinks and the drain, holding back fats, oils and grease. As the waste water cools, the grease floats and stays in the trap while the water carries on to the drain. Over time, the trap fills up and needs emptying and cleaning. We are often asked to deal with washing-up water that won’t drain away and a routine grease trap service, on pot wash sinks, under-sink grease traps and school and care home kitchens.
For a kitchen in or near Kingston Blount, the visit is planned ahead, around opening times and the journey, and the deep clean is the same as anywhere: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment.
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 and sits alongside the report.

What your team can do, and what needs us
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Common problems we fix in Kingston Blount
The more a kitchen cooks and washes up, the quicker the trap fills. A trap that suited a quieter kitchen can struggle when cooking increases.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- Gurgling drains in the kitchen
- A bad smell from the sinks or drains
- An interceptor full of grease and solids
- Grease setting in the kitchen pipework
Thame Community Hospital, about 4.1 miles north-west, is the nearest hospital to Kingston Blount; healthcare kitchens can’t stop cooking, so deep cleans are worked around meal times.

Why act early in Kingston Blount

What happens on the day
Protection comes first: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes an hour or two in most kitchens, depending on the size and condition of the trap, and we clear up before we go. Seeing the system in pictures first means the trip to Kingston Blount can be planned properly.
- First, we locate the grease trap and look at the pipework around it.
- Nothing drains into the trap while it’s open.
- We take out the layer of fat, oil and grease and any solids.
- We clean the chambers, baffles and connections.
- We put it back together, run water through and remove the waste.
Preparing for the visit
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down

Looking after it afterwards
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Make sure the trap can be reached easily
- Do not wait for a blockage to book a clean
- Act on gurgling or smelly drains
- Never pour used oil down the sink
The waste we remove leaves with us. There’s no greasy waste left on site after the visit.
More cooking means more grease in the trap. Shortening the cleaning interval now stops it overflowing.
What the work involves, part by part
Inline grease traps
An inline trap sits in the pipework between the kitchen and the drain. They’re larger than under-sink traps but still fill up.
School, care home and staff kitchens
School kitchens can be cleaned in the holidays or between meal services.
