Grease trap cleaning in Stonesfield, done properly
Grease trap cleaning keeps the drains running and the smells away. We empty the built-up grease and food solids, clean the inside and the baffles and the trap checked before we leave. If you are dealing with an under-sink unit that needs regular emptying and a regular cleaning plan for the grease trap, we can help.
In rural areas, a kitchen may drain to a private system rather than a public sewer, so keeping fat out with a working grease trap matters even more.
Every visit ends with a written report and photos, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Looking after it afterwards
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Collect waste cooking oil separately
- Hot water only moves grease further down
- Wipe grease off pans before washing them
- Mention any increase in cooking
The waste we remove leaves with us. Nothing is left for you to dispose of when we’re done.
Setting regular cleans takes the guesswork out. We agree the timing with you.
What staff can safely do
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
The process
Night work is normal for us. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so the site can open as normal afterwards. The visit itself takes anything from under an hour to a few hours, depending on the trap. A few pictures of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Stonesfield.
- We agree a time when the sinks are not needed.
- The trap is opened up and checked.
- We remove the grease layer and settled solids.
- We clean the baffles, inlet and outlet.
- The trap is closed, tested and the next clean discussed.
How to prepare
- Clear the space around the work
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Have your last certificate or report to hand

Stonesfield questions
Do you cover smaller places like Stonesfield?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Stonesfield is covered. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Stonesfield?
Food hygiene inspections in Stonesfield are carried out by West Oxfordshire council. Photos from a deep clean are a simple record of what was done and when.
Can you clear our blocked drains as well?
That depends on the cause. If the trap is full, cleaning it often helps but grease set further down the drains needs jetting by a drainage specialist.
Do you recommend a next date?
Yes. The recommended date is on the report. BESA’s minimum intervals for kitchen extracts range from 3-monthly for heavy use to 12-monthly for light use, and fire dampers need testing at least once a year.
Where does the waste go?
It leaves the site with us when we go. During the work, it’s contained to keep the area clean.
What’s TR19?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, depending on what the system needs.
Can you give me a price for grease trap cleaning?
No two traps are quite the same, so we quote once we know what you have. We give you a fixed price, typically within one working day.
Other services in Stonesfield
Multi-site and managed buildings
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.
When something else is needed
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Drains that are cracked or have collapsed
- Plumbing leaks around the sink
- A trap undersized for the amount of cooking
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Do you need grease trap cleaning in Stonesfield?
Food waste slips past sink strainers or gets rinsed down. It settles in the trap as solids and fill it from below.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Gurgling from the sink waste
- A kitchen drain that smells
- An inline trap or interceptor due for cleaning
- A blocked kitchen drain caused by grease
Hall kitchens near Church of St James the Great or elsewhere in Stonesfield may have older sinks and drains, so a grease trap check is worth adding to a deep clean.

What grease trap cleaning looks like in Stonesfield
In Stonesfield, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from West Oxfordshire council. They look at the cleanliness of the whole kitchen: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment. A cleaning log that includes deep cleans and grease trap visits shows the work is planned.
If you run a kitchen in an older building near Stonesfield, such as a historic house like Blenheim Palace (about 3 miles east), older drains make a working grease trap all the more important. For schools such as Stonesfield School, deep cleans and grease trap work are typically booked for the holidays.

Why deal with it now?
A full grease trap lets grease through to the drains. It hardens on the pipe walls until water can’t get through. Cleaning the trap regularly is far easier than clearing a blocked drain. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before work begins.
