How it works
Your staff don’t need to do much on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and we take it from there. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Tadmarton.
- We start by finding the trap and checking its inlet and outlet.
- The sinks feeding the trap are kept out of use while we work.
- We take out the layer of fat, oil and grease and any solids.
- The inside, baffles and pipe connections are cleaned.
- Once it’s refitted, water is run through to check it drains, and we take the waste with us.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in

About our grease trap cleaning in Tadmarton
No two traps are quite the same. Under-sink units are small and fill quickly, while inline traps and interceptors hold more. We look at the trap, how much the kitchen uses it and how quickly it fills and suggest an interval that suits. If you have a routine grease trap service and a blocked kitchen drain caused by grease, we can put it right.
In a village or hamlet like Tadmarton, commercial kitchens are few, perhaps a pub, a school or a care home. Wherever there is one, it needs its grease trap and hard-to-reach areas kept clean.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with pictures, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Honest limits

- A leaking sink waste or trap connection
- A grease trap that’s too small for the kitchen
- Collapsed or damaged drains, which need a drainage contractor
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Grease trap cleaning around Tadmarton
Food hygiene inspections in Tadmarton are the job of Cherwell council’s environmental health team. 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.
Hall kitchens near Church of St Nicholas or elsewhere in Tadmarton may have older sinks and drains, so a grease trap check is worth adding to a deep clean. Healthcare kitchens cook through the year, so a deep clean has to be fitted around meals; Horton General Hospital, about 4 miles east, is the nearest hospital to Tadmarton. If you cater for weddings or events at a historic house in the area (Broughton Castle is about 1.5 miles east), deep cleans can be fitted between bookings.

Other services in Tadmarton
Different parts, different methods
Baffles and outlets
The outlet carries the separated water on to the drain. If it’s blocked or greasy, the trap backs up.
Grease interceptors
Interceptors take longer to clean and we allow for that.
Looking after it afterwards
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Avoid pouring boiling water down to shift grease
- Scrape plates and pans into the bin before washing up
- Don’t store things on top of the trap
- Let us know if the kitchen gets busier
Between cleans, keep food scraps out of the sink. Use strainers in the sink plugholes so less solid waste gets through.
Slow sinks and a bad smell are early warnings. Getting it cleaned now can stop a full blockage later.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Tadmarton
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 are happy to quote for all of it.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, 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.
What your team can do, and what needs us
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.
Your questions about grease trap cleaning in Tadmarton
Can the work in Tadmarton be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The site is handed back ready to open. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we’ll book within them.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Tadmarton?
The local authority for Tadmarton is Cherwell council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. 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.
What types of grease trap do you clean?
We clean under-sink traps, inline traps and interceptors. Tell us what you have and we will plan around it.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not usually. Out-of-hours visits keep the disruption down. Larger jobs can be phased over several visits so parts stay in use.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, 24/7. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, and the emergency line covers the rest.
Do you recommend a next date?
Yes. Every report includes a recommended date for the next visit, based on what we found and how the system is used.
What about areas you can’t get to?
We never leave them off the paperwork. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
Can you clear our blocked drains as well?
A trap clean removes the grease in the trap and that may solve a slow drain caused by the trap. Blockages further down the drain, or damaged pipework, need a drainage contractor.
