Grease trap cleaning in Madley Park, done properly

We clean grease traps for kitchens in Madley Park, from small under-sink units to inline traps and interceptors. We come when the sinks aren’t needed so washing up isn’t interrupted. The work covers under-sink grease traps, kitchen waste pipes and school and care home kitchens, and people most often call us about an under-sink unit that needs regular emptying and a blocked kitchen drain caused by grease.

Around a place like Madley Park, deep clean work tends to mean pubs, cafés and school or care home kitchens. A smaller kitchen still builds up grease where everyday cleaning does not reach.

Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with pictures, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Common problems we fix in Madley Park

Waste cooking oil poured down the sink overloads the trap fast. Small amounts soon build up.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Washing-up water that won’t drain away
  • An overdue grease trap
  • Scheduled grease trap emptying
  • A larger grease trap that needs emptying

If you look after a hall kitchen near Church of Holy Trinity or anywhere in Madley Park, a deep clean between busy seasons is easier than a scramble before a big event.

Our hiring checklist

Commercial kitchens in Madley Park

Look up Madley Park on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 55 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 20 takeaways within about 1.5 miles of central Madley Park. Wherever they wash pans and plates, fat heads for the drain unless a trap catches it. Food hygiene inspections in Madley Park are the job of West Oxfordshire council’s environmental health team. The state of floors, drains and hard-to-reach corners all feeds into the inspection. Keeping a record of deep cleans and grease trap visits helps at inspection time.

If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Madley Brook Community Primary School or anywhere near Madley Park, the holidays are the time for a deep clean or a grease trap clean. If you run a kitchen in an older building near Madley Park, such as a historic house like Minster Lovell Hall (about 2.9 miles west), older drains make a working grease trap all the more important.

Aftercare tips

After the visit, a few habits help the work last:

  • Tell us if your menu or hours change
  • Keep waste oil out of the drains
  • Do not wait for a blockage to book a clean
  • Do not rely on hot water to clear grease

Once the trap is cleaned and refitted, the sinks can be used straight away. We run water through to check it drains before we leave.

An overfull trap lets grease pass. Regular emptying keeps it working and saves a call-out for a blocked drain.

FAQs for Madley Park

Can you come to Madley Park after we close?

Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The work in Madley Park can fit around your hours. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we’ll book within them.

Is Madley Park within the area you cover?

Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Madley Park included. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.

What does TR19 mean?

BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It is not legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.

What should go in our maintenance log?

Each report and certificate we give you, filed in the maintenance log, along with your own cleaning log. BESA advises that certificates record the date, location and technician.

What happens to the waste?

It’s contained and taken away. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on, so it does not spread.

What does a grease trap clean cost?

Trap size, type, condition and access all affect the price. Send us details or a photo and we’ll give you a fixed quote.

How much notice do you need?

The more notice, the better, especially for out-of-hours work. Quotes normally come back within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.

What do you do with the waste?

We take the grease and solids away with us. Nothing greasy is left on site when we go.

Why act early in Madley Park

A dirty grease trap smells. Rotting food and grease give off foul odours and the smell carries. Cleaning it removes the cause. You choose the date of a planned visit, and a breakdown never asks.

No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.

What you get with us

What your team can do, and what needs us

For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.

Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers

We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.

Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.

How it works

Your trading hours come first. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes anything from under an hour to a few hours, depending on the trap. Getting to the system matters more than parking in a place like Madley Park, so let us know how to reach it.

  1. A visit is booked around your service.
  2. The trap is opened up and checked.
  3. Built-up grease and food waste are taken out.
  4. We clean the baffles, inlet and outlet.
  5. The trap is closed, tested and the next clean discussed.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
  • Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
  • Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need

Ask for a quote

Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your photos and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price, before work begins.

Advice

When something else is needed

To be straight with you, there are a few things this work won’t fix:

  • Drains that are cracked or have collapsed
  • A grease trap that’s too small for the kitchen
  • Leaking pipework or sink wastes, which need a plumber

If you’re not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
