For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. So every job comes with a written report and photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Between visits
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Act on gurgling or smelly drains
- Make sure the trap can be reached easily
- Keep strainers in every sink
- Don’t wait for a blockage to book a clean
We take the grease and solids away. Nothing is left for you to dispose of when we’re done.
A fixed cleaning interval means the trap never gets overfull. We agree the timing with you.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
Why it’s worth doing now in Sunningwell
Pests are drawn to grease and food waste. A clean trap is less of an attraction as part of a clean kitchen. A planned visit to Sunningwell is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.

Sunningwell questions
Can you work in school kitchens in Sunningwell during the holidays?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. With about 2 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Sunningwell, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Sunningwell?
That’s Vale of White Horse council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Sunningwell. Keep the dates of your last deep clean and grease trap visit with your food safety records, ready if an officer asks.
Do I get a report after the visit?
Yes, on every job. The report is dated and includes pictures, and TR19® Grease cleans come with a certificate through the BESCA VHE portal. Keep it in your maintenance log.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, always. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it and the fixed quote is built on it.
How much notice should we give?
For planned work, earlier is better, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We start with protection: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
What happens if a grease trap is not cleaned?
Grease and food waste build up until the trap stops working. Slow drains, bad smells and blockages follow.
Where does the grease from the trap go?
We take the grease and solids away with us. Nothing greasy is left on site when we go.

An under-sink trap is out of sight. When they fill, the sink slows and starts to smell.
What grease trap cleaning looks like in Sunningwell
Food hygiene inspections in Sunningwell are the job of Vale of White Horse council’s environmental health team. The state of floors, drains and hard-to-reach corners all feeds into the inspection. Keeping a record of deep cleans and grease trap visits helps at inspection time. About 53 miles out from central London, Sunningwell is part of the South East area we work across. Evening, overnight and weekend visits are all possible.
Appleton Manor, about 3.2 miles west, is one of the historic houses around Sunningwell; event kitchens at places like that work in bursts, so a deep clean after a busy season helps. School kitchens, at schools like Sunningwell Church of England Primary School for example, normally have their deep cleans and grease trap work done while the canteen is closed.

What staff can safely do
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
Signs you need grease trap cleaning in Sunningwell
Food waste slips past sink strainers or gets rinsed down. It settles in the trap as solids and fill it from below.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- 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
- An under-sink trap that keeps filling up
Hall kitchens near Church of St Leonard or elsewhere in Sunningwell may have older sinks and drains, so a grease trap check is worth adding to a deep clean.
What to look for in a quote

- Whether the figure could change on the day
- Whether VAT is included
- What records you’ll receive afterwards
What happens on the day
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, it takes an hour or so for an under-sink trap, longer for a larger unit. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Sunningwell.
- We start by finding the trap and checking its inlet and outlet.
- We ask for the sinks that drain into the trap not to be used.
- The trap is emptied of grease and food waste.
- We clean the chambers, baffles and connections.
- The trap is reassembled, checked for leaks and the waste taken away.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
