Grease Trap Cleaning in Neithrop
For emptying and cleaning of under-sink and inline grease traps in commercial kitchens in Neithrop, one call is all it takes, from survey to sign-off. CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, ISO 9001 and fully insured.
- A regular cleaning plan for the grease trap
- Washing-up water that will not drain away
- A grease trap that hasn’t been emptied in a long time
When something else is needed
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- Grease deep in the drains, which needs jetting by a drainage contractor
- Leaking pipework or sink wastes, which need a plumber
- Blockages further down the drainage network
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll say what we think.

Grease trap cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Neithrop
Once a trap is full, grease passes straight through. Further down the pipe, the grease cools and hardens and the result is blocked drains and bad smells. A trap that is cleaned regularly keeps grease where it belongs. Typical jobs include a bad smell from the sinks or drains and a regular cleaning plan for the grease trap, across pot wash sinks, under-sink grease traps and school and care home kitchens.
Around a place like Neithrop, 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.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit ends with a dated report and pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
FAQs for Neithrop
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Neithrop?
Food hygiene inspections in Neithrop are carried out by Cherwell council. Keep the dates of your last deep clean and grease trap visit with your food safety records, ready if an officer asks.
Do you work at weekends in Neithrop?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. It means the site in Neithrop keeps running as normal. Just call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Do you take the waste away?
We take the grease and solids away with us. You’re not left with anything to dispose of when we go.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
The report shows them clearly. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, and we can fit those.
Does the report say when we need you again?
Yes. Every report includes a recommended date for the next visit, based on use and what we found.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. TR19® itself is not law; it’s a BESA specification. The legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005: the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19® is the recognised way to show grease is under control.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We start with protection: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. We always survey first, either from pictures and details you send or on a site visit. A fixed quote follows.
The process
There are three stages on the day: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, and the sign-off is a written report with photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, and that takes an hour or so for an under-sink trap, longer for a larger unit. In a place like Neithrop, we fit the visit around your hours.
- We locate the trap and check how it’s fitted.
- Sinks feeding the trap are taken out of use.
- Grease and solids are removed from the trap.
- The chambers and baffles are cleaned.
- We refit it, run water through and remove the waste.
Before we arrive
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
Get a fixed quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your photos and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before we start.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
Grease trap cleaning around Neithrop
Food Standards Agency records list about 78 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 48 takeaways within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Neithrop. Each of them sends fat, oil and grease towards the drain, which is why grease traps need regular emptying. Kitchens in Neithrop get their food hygiene inspections from Cherwell council. The state of floors, drains and hard-to-reach corners all feeds into the inspection. Photos and dates from each deep clean make a useful record.
School kitchens, at schools like St Joseph's Catholic Primary School for example, typically have their deep cleans and grease trap work done while the canteen is closed. If you cater for weddings or events at a historic house in the area (Broughton Castle is about 1.8 miles south-west), deep cleans can be fitted between bookings. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Horton General Hospital (about 1.2 miles east), cook for long hours, so deep cleans and grease trap work are planned around patients’ meals.

Leave it or put it right?
Grease that leaves the kitchen ends up somewhere. It adds to blockages further down the drains and sewer. Keeping it in the trap, and emptying the trap, is the responsible thing to do. A quieter site near Neithrop still needs its system looked after.
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.

Different parts, different methods
School, care home and staff kitchens
In schools, grease traps can be cleaned when the kitchen is closed or between meal services.
Under-sink grease traps
Small grease traps sit under the sink. They fill quickly and need regular cleaning.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Collect waste cooking oil separately
- Tell us when sinks start draining slowly
- Book trap cleans at a set interval
- Get food waste into the bin, not the sink
The sinks are ready to use as soon as we have finished. Water is run through to check everything flows before we leave.
A fixed cleaning interval means the trap never gets overfull. We agree the timing with you.
