About our grease trap cleaning in Milton Hill
Fats, oils and grease are the main cause of blocked kitchen drains. Down the line, they can add to fatbergs in the sewer. A grease trap that is emptied and cleaned regularly holds them back. We’re often asked to deal with washing-up water that won’t drain away and a routine grease trap service, on pot wash sinks, restaurants and takeaways and kitchen waste pipes.
Rural kitchens may drain to a septic tank or a private drain rather than straight into a public sewer, so keeping fat out with a working grease trap matters even more.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll tell you honestly.

Why act early in Milton Hill
A dirty grease trap smells. Decomposing waste in the trap smells bad that can reach the kitchen and beyond. Cleaning it removes the cause. A fault that closes a site in a village like Milton Hill affects everyone who depends on it.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and the price is agreed before we start.

FAQs for Milton Hill
Do you work overnight in Milton Hill?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. That way a site in Milton Hill does not have to lose a day’s trading. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Can school kitchens in Milton Hill be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. There are about 2 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Milton Hill. Just call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with your term dates and we’ll plan around them.
Is Milton Hill in your area?
Yes. We work across Greater London, Surrey, Kent, Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Essex, Milton Hill included.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, either from photos and details you send or on a site visit. Then you get a fixed quote.
How long does a grease trap clean take?
Each trap is a little different, and you can expect it to take anything from under an hour to a few hours, depending on the trap. We will confirm when we quote.
What’s TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping, and it takes a risk-based approach.
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.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line, for problems that can’t wait. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
What staff can safely do
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
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.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Milton Hill and across Oxfordshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
Between visits
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Wipe grease off pans before washing them
- Let us know if the kitchen gets busier
- Keep strainers in every sink
- Act on gurgling or smelly drains
The sinks are ready to use as soon as we have finished. Water is run through to check everything flows before we go.
More cooking means more grease in the trap. Booking cleans more often keeps the drains flowing.

Visits to a village like Milton Hill are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- A visit is booked around your service.
- We open the trap and look at its condition.
- Built-up grease and food waste are taken out.
- The inside, baffles and outlet are cleaned.
- We close it up, check it drains and suggest when it needs cleaning again.
How to prepare
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Clear the space around the work

Advice
Grease trap cleaning around Milton Hill
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 5 pubs and bars within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Milton Hill. Wherever they cook, the kitchen and its drains need the same attention as a restaurant’s. In Milton Hill, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Vale of White Horse council. An inspection covers the structure of the kitchen as well as the food. A cleaning log that includes deep cleans and grease trap visits shows the work is planned.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Blaise or elsewhere in Milton Hill, a deep clean and an emptied grease trap before a busy season of events are worth booking. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Abingdon Community Hospital (about 3.9 miles north), cook for long hours, so deep cleans and grease trap work are planned around patients’ meals. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as St Blaise CofE Primary School or anywhere near Milton Hill, the holidays are the time for a deep clean or a grease trap clean.
