Grease trap cleaning in Oakley Green
Think of the grease trap as a filter for the kitchen’s drains. When it’s looked after, you hardly know it’s there but left too long, it causes trouble. A regular clean keeps it healthy. Common call-outs are for a full, neglected grease trap and an inline trap or interceptor due for cleaning, on restaurants and takeaways, under-sink grease traps and kitchen waste pipes.
Work in a small place like Oakley Green starts with agreeing a date and access.
Each visit ends with a written report and photos, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What staff can safely do
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
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.
What else we do in Oakley Green
What we’re called out for in Oakley Green
Food scraps go down the sink with the washing-up water. It settles in the trap as solids and fill it from below.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Grease setting in the kitchen pipework
- Foul odours from the grease trap
- A grease trap that hasn’t been emptied in a long time
- Scheduled grease trap emptying
Historic houses such as St Leonard's Hill (about 1 mile south-east) are part of the area around Oakley Green, and if you run event catering at a venue like that, a deep clean between seasons helps.

Grease interceptors
A larger unit takes more time to empty and clean and we plan the visit accordingly.
Inline grease traps
Access to an inline trap can be in a floor or cupboard. We check how to reach it before the visit.
Between visits
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Make sure the trap can be reached easily
- Never pour used oil down the sink
- Keep strainers in every sink
- Book trap cleans at a set interval
We take the grease and solids away. There’s no greasy waste left on site when we’re done.
If the sinks are slow or smelly, the trap may be full. Getting it cleaned now can stop a full blockage down the line.
Oakley Green: your questions answered
Can you work in school kitchens in Oakley Green during the holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. Food Standards Agency records list about 14 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Oakley Green. You can ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the dates the site is empty.
Can the work in Oakley Green be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. That way a site in Oakley Green doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Just call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with your opening times and we will plan around them.
What happens to the waste?
It leaves the site with us when we go. During the work, it’s contained so the area stays clean.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line, for problems that can’t wait. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so sites at different addresses can be planned together on one programme. Each site gets its own report and photos.
What problems does a full grease trap cause?
An overfull trap lets grease into the drains. It sets there and narrows the pipes and causes blockages. Keeping the trap clean stops that happening.
Will I get paperwork for my records?
Yes, always. It’s a dated, written report with photos, plus a certificate via the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal for TR19® Grease cleans. File it with your fire safety records.
What does a grease trap clean cost?
The price depends on the trap and the schedule. Just call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will quote so you know the cost up front.

- A visit is booked around your service.
- We open the trap and look at its condition.

How to get a quote

Advice
Why deal with it now?
A blocked drain can stop a kitchen in its tracks. Sinks will not empty, and dirty water can back up. Keeping the trap clean reduces the risk. Rural sites cannot always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you are unsure, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

When it’s something else
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Collapsed or damaged drains, which need a drainage contractor
- A unit that can’t cope with the kitchen’s output
- Leaking pipework or sink wastes, which need a plumber
