About our grease trap cleaning in Weston-on-the-Green
Kitchens in Weston-on-the-Green use us for grease trap cleaning, whether it’s an under-sink unit or a larger inline trap. Visits are booked around your service so washing up isn’t interrupted. If you are dealing with a slow-draining kitchen sink and an overdue grease trap, we can put it right.
Rural kitchens may drain to a septic tank or a private drain rather than straight into 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 are fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
What a clean will not put right
Not every problem is solved by grease trap cleaning, and we’d rather say so up front. It doesn’t solve:
- A trap undersized for the amount of cooking
- Plumbing leaks around the sink
- Grease set hard in the drain run
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Parts of the system we cover
- School and care home kitchens
- Kitchen waste pipes
- Under-sink grease traps
- Pot wash sinks
- Restaurants and takeaways
- Inline grease traps
Common problems we fix in Weston-on-the-Green
Waste cooking oil poured down the sink fills a grease trap far faster than washing-up. Small amounts soon build up.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- An overdue grease trap
- A small trap that fills too quickly
- Gurgling drains in the kitchen
- A kitchen drain that smells
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Bicester Community Hospital (about 3.7 miles north-east), cook for long hours, so deep cleans and grease trap work are planned around patients’ meals.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- What hours they’ll be on site
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
When your team notices a problem 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.
Keeping the system healthy
So the system stays in good health:
- Do not rely on hot water to clear grease
- Act on gurgling or smelly drains
- Wipe grease off pans before washing them
- Never pour used oil down the sink
If we spot problems beyond the trap, such as a drain that still runs slowly, we’ll tell you. It may need a drainage specialist to investigate.
Fat that escapes the trap hardens in the pipework. Once it’s there, it needs a drainage contractor to clear, so it’s far better to keep the trap clean.

The process
Night work is normal for us. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so the site can open as normal afterwards. The visit itself takes an hour or so for an under-sink trap, longer for a larger unit. In a small place like Weston-on-the-Green, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- We agree a time when the sinks aren’t needed.
- The trap is opened up and checked.
- Built-up grease and food waste are taken out.
- The inside, baffles and outlet are cleaned.
- We close it up, check it drains and suggest when it needs cleaning again.
How to prepare
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time

Questions from Weston-on-the-Green
Do you work overnight in Weston-on-the-Green?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. That way a site in Weston-on-the-Green doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we will book within them.
Which council inspects kitchens in Weston-on-the-Green?
That’s Cherwell council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Weston-on-the-Green. Keep the dates of your last deep clean and grease trap visit with your food safety records, ready if an officer asks.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. We always survey first, either from photos and details you send or on a site visit. A fixed quote follows.
Are you insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we’ve been trading since 2009.
What problems does a full grease trap cause?
Grease escapes into the drains when the trap is full. It sets there and narrows the pipes and causes blockages. Keeping the trap clean stops that happening.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, 24/7. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, and the emergency line covers the rest.
Who is the responsible person?
That depends on who controls the premises. The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty on the responsible person, which can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, an FM or a managing agent.
Do you cover Weston-on-the-Green?
Yes. We work across Greater London, Surrey, Kent, Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Essex, and that includes Weston-on-the-Green.
Why deal with it now?
A blocked drain can stop a kitchen in its tracks. Water won’t drain away and waste water can come back up. Keeping the trap clean reduces the risk. With notice, the visit to Weston-on-the-Green can be fitted around your bookings and events.
What you pay depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.

- Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus 24/7 emergency callout
