Grease trap cleaning for kitchens and businesses in West Hendred
Kitchens in West Hendred use us for grease trap cleaning, whether it’s an under-sink unit or a larger inline trap. We come when the sinks aren’t needed so washing up isn’t interrupted. If you are dealing with a bad smell from the sinks or drains and an under-sink unit that needs regular emptying, we can put it right.
Work in a small place like West Hendred starts with agreeing a date and access, and the deep clean is the same as anywhere: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment.
A written report with photos follows every visit, 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 we are called out for in West Hendred
Every pan and plate washed sends grease towards the drain. In the trap, they cool and separate, and the layer gets thicker day by day.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- Scheduled grease trap emptying
- A grease trap that hasn’t been emptied in a long time
- Gurgling drains in the kitchen
- Foul odours from the grease trap
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Abingdon Community Hospital about 5.5 miles north-east, deep cleans and grease trap visits are planned so meals still go out.
Questions to ask before booking
- How areas they can’t reach will be recorded
- Whether the price is fixed
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or photos
- What paperwork you get at the end
Different parts, different methods
Restaurant and takeaway kitchens
Visits are booked when the sinks aren’t in use so you don’t lose trade.
Grease interceptors
An interceptor works on the same principle as a smaller trap. Grease floats and solids sink.
What your team can do, and what needs us
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.
For landlords and multi-site operators
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 can quote for the whole system.
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
Questions from West Hendred
Can you come to West Hendred after we close?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. It means the site in West Hendred keeps running as normal. Just call 0345 646 2711 or email us with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Do you cover smaller places like West Hendred?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
What about areas you can’t get to?
Anything we can’t reach goes on the report, with pictures where possible, and we explain what access is needed, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
What types of grease trap do you clean?
Under-sink units, inline traps and interceptors are all covered. Tell us what you have and we will plan the visit.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not normally. We work when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends, so you keep your normal hours.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, from your pictures and details, or with a visit where needed. A fixed quote follows.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so sites at different addresses can be planned together as one programme. Every site has its own report.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line, for problems that can’t wait. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
What we do, step by step
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes an hour or two in most kitchens, depending on the size and condition of the trap. The timing of a visit to West Hendred is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- A visit is booked around your service.
- The trap is opened up and checked.
- Built-up grease and food waste are taken out.
- We clean the baffles, inlet and outlet.
- We close it up, check it drains and suggest when it needs cleaning again.
How to prepare
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
How to get a quote
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you’ll normally have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.

- The postcode and the type of business
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
