Lyneham questions
Can you get to a site in Lyneham?
Yes. Lyneham is within the area we cover across London and the South East. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Do you work overnight in Lyneham?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. It means the site in Lyneham keeps running as normal. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Do you clean under-sink and inline grease traps?
Both under-sink and inline traps, plus interceptors. If you are not sure what you have, send us a photo when you phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No. The law sets the duty, and TR19® is the recognised benchmark for meeting it. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person has to manage fire risk, and many insurers can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of cleaning.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
They’re marked on the report. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, which we can install.
What happens if a grease trap is not cleaned?
An overfull trap stops separating grease. Slow drains, bad smells and blockages follow.
Where does the waste go?
We contain it and take it with us. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on rather than letting it spread.
Can you give me a price for grease trap cleaning?
Trap size, type, condition and access all affect the price. Tell us about the trap and we’ll come back with a fixed price.
How we handle grease trap cleaning in Lyneham
Fats, oils and grease are the main cause of blocked kitchen drains. Further on, grease can build into fatbergs in the sewer. A well-maintained trap holds them back. The work covers restaurants and takeaways, school and care home kitchens and inline grease traps, and people most often call us about an interceptor full of grease and solids and a slow-draining kitchen sink.
Work in a small place like Lyneham starts with agreeing a date and access.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

Leave it or put it right?
Grease that leaves the kitchen ends up somewhere. It can build up in the drains and join fatbergs in the sewer. A well-maintained trap keeps it where it can be removed. A fault that closes a site in a village like Lyneham affects everyone who depends on it.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before we start.

What we do, step by step
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and the same goes into the written report. All told, the work takes less than an hour for many under-sink units. The timing of a visit to Lyneham is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- First, we locate the grease trap and look at the pipework around it.
- We ask for the sinks that drain into the trap not to be used.
- The trap is emptied of grease and food waste.
- The inside, baffles and pipe connections are cleaned.
- The trap is reassembled, checked for leaks and the waste taken away.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Let us know about parking and loading
Getting a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

What the work involves, part by part
Grease interceptors
A larger unit takes more time to empty and clean and we plan the visit accordingly.
Restaurant and takeaway kitchens
Kitchens that fry and wash up all day fill their traps quickly. A shorter cleaning interval usually suits them.
What staff can safely do
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Lyneham
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Lyneham and across Oxfordshire. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with pictures.
How we price grease trap cleaning
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- The condition of the system
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re unsure, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
To speed up the quote, send us:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.
Do you need grease trap cleaning in Lyneham?
Hot water and detergent carry grease further than you’d expect. When it cools, the grease hardens, often in the trap or the pipe beyond.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- A routine grease trap service
- Sinks that drain slowly
- Gurgling from the sink waste
- A grease trap that hasn’t been emptied in a long time
In Lyneham, grease trap visits can be paired with a deep clean so the kitchen closes once.
What your quote should include
- How areas they can’t reach will be recorded
- If they look at the system before pricing
