About our grease trap cleaning in Sibford Ferris
We clean grease traps for kitchens in Sibford Ferris, whether it’s an under-sink unit or a larger inline trap. Visits are booked around your service, so the kitchen keeps running. Common call-outs are for an overdue grease trap and scheduled grease trap emptying, on inline grease traps, kitchen waste pipes and under-sink grease traps.
Somewhere as small as Sibford Ferris, the kitchens that need a deep clean are typically 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.
Each visit ends with a written report and photos, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What affects the cost of grease trap cleaning
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- The size of the system
- The condition of the system
- A single visit or a regular plan
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before any work starts.
What to send for a quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- The times we could work without disrupting the site

Keeping the system healthy
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Keep strainers in every sink
- Keep waste oil out of the drains
- Hot water only moves grease further down
- Report slow or smelly sinks early
If we spot problems beyond the trap, such as a drain that still runs slowly, we will tell you. That may need a drainage contractor to look further.
More cooking means more grease in the trap. Shortening the cleaning interval now keeps the drains flowing.
Why it’s worth doing now in Sibford Ferris
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. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Sibford Ferris rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
You will not find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and we will explain what it covers.

How the job changes from site to site
Restaurant and takeaway kitchens
Kitchens that fry and wash up all day fill their traps quickly. A shorter cleaning interval usually suits them.
Under-sink grease traps
Small grease traps sit under the sink. They fill quickly, so they need frequent emptying.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Sibford Ferris
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and photos, so records stay tidy.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
The process
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and the same goes into the written report. The visit takes an hour or so for an under-sink trap, longer for a larger unit. If you can send pictures, we can arrive in Sibford Ferris knowing what to expect.
- We locate the trap and check how it’s fitted.
- We make sure nothing drains into the trap.
- We empty out the fat, oil, grease and solids.
- We clean every part of the inside.
- We refit it, run water through and remove the waste.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Tell us where we can park and unload
Ask for a quote
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and photos, and we normally reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.

What grease trap cleaning looks like in Sibford Ferris
It’s Cherwell council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Sibford Ferris. They look at the cleanliness of the whole kitchen: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment. Keeping a record of deep cleans and grease trap visits helps at inspection time.

Broughton Castle, about 3.8 miles east, is one of the historic houses around Sibford Ferris; event kitchens at places like that work in bursts, so a deep clean after a busy season helps.

Sibford Ferris: your questions answered
Can you get to a site in Sibford Ferris?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Sibford Ferris?
Kitchens in Sibford Ferris are inspected by Cherwell council’s environmental health officers. How often a business is inspected depends on the council’s risk rating for it, so the kitchen needs to be ready at any time.
Where does the waste go?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, including grease, debris and dirty water. None of it is left on site.
Do you deal with blocked drains beyond the grease trap?
That depends on the cause. A full trap is a common cause, and cleaning it can help but grease set further down the drains needs jetting by a drainage specialist.
Why does a grease trap need regular cleaning?
Grease escapes into the drains when the trap is full. It sets there and narrows the pipes until they block. Regular cleaning prevents it.
Will the grease trap clean disrupt the kitchen?
Just the sinks that drain into the trap, and only while we work. We plan the visit for a quieter time where we can.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. For many sites, pictures and a few details are enough, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, 24/7. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
