Grease trap cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Wendlebury
No two traps are quite the same. Under-sink traps are compact and need frequent attention and larger traps hold more grease before they fill. We assess the trap and how fast it fills before suggesting how often it needs cleaning. If you are dealing with a grease trap that hasn’t been emptied in a long time and an inline trap or interceptor due for cleaning, we can put it right.
Somewhere as small as Wendlebury, the kitchens that need a deep clean are normally a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Wherever there is one, it needs its grease trap and hard-to-reach areas kept clean.
We’ve been trading since 2009, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we’re fully insured.

How we price grease trap cleaning
The survey tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- How easy every part is to reach
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- The number of sites or systems
- Any permits to work or inductions
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered and we’ll price it together.
Asking for a quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- The postcode and the type of business
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
For grease trap cleaning in Wendlebury, call 0345 646 2711 or email us. Tell us what kind of premises it is and when it’s open, and send pictures or your last report if you can. We typically send a fixed quote within one working day.

Wherever they wash pans and plates, fat heads for the drain unless a trap catches it. We cover Wendlebury, about 53 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. Visits are booked around your hours, evenings and weekends included. Kitchens in Wendlebury get their food hygiene inspections from Cherwell council.

Common questions in Wendlebury
Can a school kitchen in Wendlebury be done out of term time?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. The FSA’s register shows about 2 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Wendlebury. Just ring 0345 646 2711 or email us with your term dates and we will plan around them.
Who inspects food businesses in Wendlebury?
Food hygiene inspections in Wendlebury are carried out by Cherwell council. Photos from a deep clean are a simple record of what was done and when.
What do you do with what you remove?
We contain it and take it with us. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on rather than letting it spread.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we’ll propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. We always survey first, from your photos and details, or with a visit where necessary. A fixed quote follows.
Which accreditations do you hold?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
Do the sinks have to be out of use during the clean?
While we work, those sinks are out of use. The clean takes an hour or so for an under-sink trap, longer for a larger unit and we book it around your service.
Do I get a report after the visit?
Yes. Every visit ends with a written report and pictures, showing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, there’s also a certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
How the visit works
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the photos you sent. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes less than an hour for many under-sink units. In a small place like Wendlebury, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- First, we locate the grease trap and look at the pipework around it.
- The sinks feeding the trap are kept out of use while we work.
- The trap is emptied of grease and food waste.
- We clean the chambers, baffles and connections.
- We put it back together, run water through and remove the waste.
How to prepare
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Let us know about parking and loading
Getting a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

When it’s something else
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- A grease trap that is too small for the kitchen
- Broken pipework below ground
- Grease deep in the drains, which needs jetting by a drainage contractor
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.
Parts of the system we cover
- School and care home kitchens
- Inline grease traps
- Restaurants and takeaways
- Under-sink grease traps
- Pot wash sinks
- Kitchen waste pipes
For landlords and multi-site operators
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
Keeping the system healthy
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Wipe grease off pans before washing them
- Act on gurgling or smelly drains
- Do not rely on hot water to clear grease
- Collect waste cooking oil separately
Scrape plates into the bin before washing up. Use strainers in the sink plugholes before they reach the trap.
A fixed cleaning interval means the trap never gets overfull. The interval is set to suit the trap and the kitchen.

Do you need grease trap cleaning in Wendlebury?
A full trap can’t hold any more grease. It then builds up in the drains and the sewer beyond, where it can form blockages.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- A larger grease trap that needs emptying
- A kitchen drain that smells
- Drains that gurgle and bubble
- A small trap that fills too quickly
If you look after a hall kitchen near Church of St Giles or anywhere in Wendlebury, a deep clean between busy seasons is easier than a scramble before a big event.
