About our grease trap cleaning in Milton-under-Wychwood
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’s emptied and cleaned regularly keeps them out of the drains. If you are dealing with gurgling drains in the kitchen and a kitchen drain that smells, we can put it right, from inline grease traps, kitchen waste pipes and pot wash sinks onwards.
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.
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, ready for your insurer.

Multi-site and managed buildings
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so records stay tidy.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
What staff can safely do
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
FAQs for Milton-under-Wychwood
Do you work in villages like Milton-under-Wychwood?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Milton-under-Wychwood included. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you come to Milton-under-Wychwood after we close?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. It means the site in Milton-under-Wychwood keeps running as normal. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
What types of grease trap do you clean?
We cover under-sink, inline and interceptor units. They’re emptied, cleaned and checked in the same careful way.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
That depends on who controls the premises. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, facilities manager or managing agent.
What’s TR19?
A BESA specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It isn’t legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
Do you take the waste away?
It’s removed from site when we leave. There’s nothing left for your team to deal with once the clean is done.
Which records should we keep?
Visit reports, certificates and your in-house cleaning logs. They’re what an insurer, fire officer or EHO may ask for, so keep them together and easy to find.
How far ahead should we book?
Earlier is better, especially for out-of-hours work. Quotes usually come back within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
How it works
Each visit runs to the same pattern: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, carry out the grease trap cleaning, clear away and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself takes a short visit for a small trap and longer for an inline unit or interceptor. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Milton-under-Wychwood before we set off.
- We start by finding the trap and checking its inlet and outlet.
- We ask for the sinks that drain into the trap not to be used.
- Built-up fat, oil and grease is removed from the trap.
- 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
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in

Advice
What the work involves, part by part
Under-sink grease traps
An under-sink trap is out of sight. When they fill, the sink slows and starts to smell.
Restaurant and takeaway kitchens
Busy kitchens can’t afford a blocked drain. Regular trap cleaning helps prevent it.
Looking after it afterwards
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Get food waste into the bin, not the sink
- Use strainers in the sink plugholes
- Never pour used oil down the sink
- Hot water only moves grease further down
If we spot problems beyond the trap, such as a drain that still runs slowly, we’ll tell you. It may need a drainage specialist to look further.
Setting regular cleans takes the guesswork out. We agree the timing with you.
Honest limits
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- A grease trap that is too small for the kitchen
- Drains that need jetting rather than trap cleaning
- Drains that are cracked or have collapsed
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll tell you honestly.

Leave it or put it right?
Some kitchens try to fix slow drains with hot water or drain cleaners. That only moves the grease further down the pipe to set somewhere harder to reach. Emptying and cleaning the trap deals with the source. In a place like Milton-under-Wychwood, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re unsure, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
