Pusey grease trap cleaning
Emptying and cleaning of under-sink and inline grease traps in commercial kitchens for Pusey, with a survey first and a report with pictures at the end. Ask us for a fixed quote.
- A small trap that fills too quickly
- An overdue grease trap
- An interceptor full of grease and solids
Keeping the system healthy
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Act on gurgling or smelly drains
- Let us know if the kitchen gets busier
- Do not store things on top of the trap
- Keep strainers in every sink
Anything we notice beyond the trap, like a slow drain downstream, is pointed out. It may need a drainage specialist to look further.
Slow sinks and a bad smell are early warnings. Getting it cleaned now can stop a full blockage down the line.
Grease trap cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Pusey
Kitchens in Pusey use us for grease trap cleaning, from small under-sink units to inline traps and interceptors. Visits are booked around your service, so the kitchen keeps running. The work covers restaurants and takeaways, pot wash sinks and school and care home kitchens, and the jobs we see most are a full, neglected grease trap and a regular cleaning plan for the grease trap.
Somewhere as small as Pusey, the kitchens that need a deep clean are normally a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still needs the occasional deep clean and its grease trap kept clear.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

Your questions about grease trap cleaning in Pusey
Do you cover smaller places like Pusey?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Pusey?
That’s Vale of White Horse council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Pusey. Photos from a deep clean are a simple record of what was done and when.
What problems does a full grease trap cause?
A full trap can’t catch any more grease. The grease hardens in the pipes, leading to blocked drains and smells and can end up adding to sewer blockages.
How much notice do you need?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we’ve been trading since 2009.
Will cleaning the grease trap fix a blocked drain?
A trap clean removes the grease in the trap, and can clear the problem where the trap was the cause. Blockages further down the drain, or damaged pipework, need a drainage contractor.
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 as one programme. Each site gets its own report and pictures.
How do you protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. The work is kept contained and clean down when we finish.
When to call us in Pusey
Fats, oils and grease from cooking and washing up go down the sink. In the trap, they cool and separate, and the layer gets thicker day by day.
Look out for any of the following:
- A blocked kitchen drain caused by grease
- Sinks that drain slowly
- A routine grease trap service
- An inline trap or interceptor due for cleaning
Where a church or community hall near Church of All Saints, or anywhere in Pusey, has a kitchen used by volunteers, a periodic deep clean keeps it ready for the next event.
Before you book anyone

If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Buckland Church of England Primary School or anywhere near Pusey, the holidays are the time for a deep clean or a grease trap clean. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Longworth Hospital (about 4.3 miles west), cook for long hours, so deep cleans and grease trap work are planned around patients’ meals.

What the work involves, part by part
Restaurant and takeaway kitchens
Busy kitchens can’t afford a blocked drain. Keeping the trap clean reduces the risk.
Baffles and outlets
Clean water leaves through the outlet. A blocked outlet stops the trap working.
How we price grease trap cleaning
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- What state the system is in
- How big the system is
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
The cost depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.
Helping us quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- The site address and the type of premises
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- A few general shots of the system
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price, before we start.
The process
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your pictures. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. From there, it takes anything from under an hour to a few hours, depending on the trap. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Pusey.
- We agree a time when the sinks are not needed.
- The trap is opened up and checked.
- Built-up grease and food waste are taken out.
- We clean the baffles, inlet and outlet.
- The trap is closed, tested and the next clean discussed.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
Get a fixed quote
Getting a quote does not take long. Send a few details and pictures, and we typically reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
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.
Why it’s worth doing now in Pusey
Smells from a neglected trap are hard to ignore. Decomposing waste in the trap smells bad that can reach the kitchen and beyond. A clean trap takes the source away. Rural sites cannot always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.

- A fixed price before any work starts
