Grease trap cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Tokers Green
Kitchens in Tokers Green 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. If you have a routine grease trap service and sinks that drain slowly, we can put it right, from kitchen waste pipes, under-sink grease traps and inline grease traps onwards.
In rural areas, a kitchen may drain to a private system rather than a public sewer, and fat getting past a grease trap can cause real trouble there.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

What the work involves, part by part
Restaurant and takeaway kitchens
Kitchens that fry and wash up all day fill their traps quickly. A shorter cleaning interval normally suits them.
Grease interceptors
Grease interceptors are larger units that serve busier kitchens. With more capacity, they fill more slowly, but they still need regular emptying and cleaning.
Leave it or put it right?
In Tokers Green, as anywhere, grease trap cleaning is a short, routine visit. A blocked drain is an emergency and normally at the worst moment. Rural sites can’t always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
You won’t 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 email photos, and we will explain what it covers.

What affects the cost of grease trap cleaning
Your quote is based on your site. We consider:
- The condition of the system
- How big the system is
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Any permits to work or inductions
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re unsure, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email for straight advice and a fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
To speed up the quote, please include:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Problems your staff have spotted
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and photos, and we usually reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
Between visits
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Let us know if the kitchen gets busier
- Collect waste cooking oil separately
- Hot water only moves grease further down
- Don’t store things on top of the trap
Between cleans, keep food scraps out of the sink. Sink strainers help catch solids so less solid waste gets through.
If the sinks are slow or smelly, the trap may be full. Getting it cleaned now can stop a full blockage later.
Multi-site and managed buildings
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Commercial kitchens in Tokers Green
At about 39 miles from central London, Tokers Green sits well inside the area we cover. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site. Food hygiene inspections in Tokers Green are the job of South Oxfordshire council’s environmental health team. An inspection covers the structure of the kitchen as well as the food. A cleaning log that includes deep cleans and grease trap visits shows the work is planned.
Where a church or community hall near Church of St John the Baptist, or anywhere in Tokers Green, has a kitchen used by volunteers, a periodic deep clean keeps it ready for the next event. Battle Hospital, about 2.4 miles south, is the nearest hospital to Tokers Green; healthcare kitchens cannot stop cooking, so deep cleans are worked around meal times. Half-term is a good time for school kitchens, at schools like Kidmore End Church of England Primary School for instance, to have the grease trap emptied and the kitchen deep cleaned.

Some problems need a different service or another trade:

Common questions in Tokers Green
Do you work overnight in Tokers Green?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. It means the site in Tokers Green keeps running as normal. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Which environmental health team covers Tokers Green?
Food hygiene inspections in Tokers Green are carried out by South Oxfordshire council. Keep the dates of your last deep clean and grease trap visit with your food safety records, ready if an officer asks.
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.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a single café to a large school. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, depending on what the system needs.
What paperwork should we keep on file?
Every certificate and report from each visit, filed in the maintenance log, along with your own cleaning log. BESA advises that certificates record the date, location and technician.
How much notice should we give?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
Can you clear our blocked drains as well?
Cleaning the trap deals with the grease it holds, and can clear the problem where the trap was the cause. A blockage deeper in the drains needs a drainage specialist.
