What affects the cost of grease trap cleaning
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- The condition we find in the survey
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The size of the system
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you will get one fixed quote.

Grease trap cleaning in Tubney
Every trap is different. Under-sink traps are compact and need frequent attention, while inline traps and interceptors hold more. We assess the trap and how fast it fills and suggest an interval that suits. Typical jobs include an interceptor full of grease and solids and sinks that drain slowly, on school and care home kitchens, restaurants and takeaways and kitchen waste pipes.
For a kitchen in or near Tubney, the visit is planned ahead, around opening times and the journey.
Each visit ends with a written report and pictures, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What happens if it’s left?
Pouring hot water or chemicals down a slow drain is a common quick fix. It just shifts the grease further along to set somewhere harder to reach. Emptying and cleaning the trap deals with the source. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
What you pay depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.

What grease trap cleaning looks like in Tubney
Food hygiene inspections in Tubney are the job of Vale of White Horse council’s environmental health team. An inspection covers the structure of the kitchen as well as the food. Keeping a record of deep cleans and grease trap visits helps at inspection time. Tubney, about 56 miles from central London, is within our usual area. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you.
If you cater for weddings or events at a historic house in the area (Appleton Manor is about 1.6 miles north), deep cleans can be fitted between bookings. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Abingdon Community Hospital about 3.1 miles south-east, deep cleans and grease trap visits are planned so meals still go out.

Different parts, different methods
Baffles and outlets
Every clean includes the baffles, inlet and outlet so the trap works as it should.
Under-sink grease traps
Under-sink traps are compact units fitted below the kitchen sink. Their small size means they fill fast and need regular cleaning.
What we do, step by step
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes less than an hour for many under-sink units. If you can send pictures, we can arrive in Tubney knowing what to expect.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
Get a fixed quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price, before we start.
Advice
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
What we’re called out for in Tubney
The more a kitchen cooks and washes up, the quicker the trap fills. A trap that suited a quieter kitchen can struggle when cooking increases.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- A bad smell from the sinks or drains
- Sinks that drain slowly
- An under-sink trap that keeps filling up
- Drains that gurgle and bubble
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Abingdon Preparatory School or anywhere near Tubney, the holidays are the time for a deep clean or a grease trap clean.
Questions to ask before booking
