Grease trap cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Little Coxwell
If the sinks drain slowly or smell, the trap is often the cause. We find the trap, empty it and clean it and run water through to check it drains. If you are dealing with a kitchen drain that smells and gurgling from the sink waste, we can help.
Work in a small place like Little Coxwell starts with agreeing a date and access.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What grease trap cleaning can’t fix
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so here are the limits:
- Drains that need jetting rather than trap cleaning
- Collapsed or damaged drains, which need a drainage contractor
- Blockages further down the drainage network
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Parts of the system we cover
- Under-sink grease traps
- Inline grease traps
- Restaurants and takeaways
- Pot wash sinks
- School and care home kitchens
- Kitchen waste pipes
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
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. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Common problems we fix in Little Coxwell
Oil tipped down the drain instead of being collected fills a grease trap far faster than washing-up. Small amounts soon build up.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- Scheduled grease trap emptying
- A slow-draining kitchen sink
- A full, neglected grease trap
- A blocked kitchen drain caused by grease
If you run event catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Buscot Park is about 3.2 miles north-west), a deep clean before or after the busy season is worth planning.

What grease trap cleaning looks like in Little Coxwell
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 5 pubs, bars and clubs within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Little Coxwell. Where they run a kitchen, it needs the same deep cleaning and grease trap care as any restaurant. In Little Coxwell, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Vale of White Horse 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 and church kitchens, near Church of St Mary or anywhere around Little Coxwell, are used by many hands, and periodic deep cleans and grease trap visits keep them in order. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Faringdon Day Hospital about 1.2 miles north, deep cleans and grease trap visits are planned so meals still go out.

Advice
How we price grease trap cleaning
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- The condition we find in the survey
- The size of the system
- A single visit or a regular plan
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 will talk you through it.
What to send for a quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- The postcode and the type of business
- Any previous report or certificate
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and photos, and we usually reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
Leave it or put it right?
A blocked drain can stop a kitchen in its tracks. Water won’t drain away and waste water can come back up. Cleaning the grease trap on time helps prevent it. A fault that closes a site in a village like Little Coxwell affects everyone who depends on it.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.
