Grease trap cleaning in Weston Otmoor, done properly
If the sinks drain slowly or smell, the trap is often the cause. In Weston Otmoor, as everywhere we work, our team empties and cleans the trap, then check the water flows properly. The work covers inline grease traps, kitchen waste pipes and restaurants and takeaways, and common reasons people get in touch are washing-up water that won’t drain away and grease setting in the kitchen pipework.
In a village or hamlet like Weston Otmoor, commercial kitchens are few, perhaps a pub, a school or a care home. Each still needs the occasional deep clean and its grease trap kept clear.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

When something else is needed
Grease trap cleaning can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t put right:
- Grease deep in the drains, which needs jetting by a drainage contractor
- Plumbing leaks around the sink
- A unit that can’t cope with the kitchen’s output
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Fixed quotes for grease trap cleaning in Weston Otmoor
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- What state the system is in
What you pay depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.
What to send for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Your last certificate, test record or report
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Send a few details and pictures, and we typically reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
What we do, step by step
We are used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. The visit itself takes an hour or two in most kitchens, depending on the size and condition of the trap. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Weston Otmoor, let us know and we will plan around it.
- We find the trap and check how it’s connected.
- Nothing drains into the trap while it’s open.
- We take out the layer of fat, oil and grease and any solids.
- The inside, baffles and pipe connections are cleaned.
- The trap is reassembled, checked for leaks and the waste taken away.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Let us know about parking and loading
Getting a quote
For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. You will normally have a quote within one working day.

- Drains that gurgle and bubble
- A bad smell from the sinks or drains

Common questions in Weston Otmoor
Can you come to Weston Otmoor after we close?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. Your customers, staff or residents in Weston Otmoor needn’t be disturbed. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Which environmental health team covers Weston Otmoor?
Food hygiene inspections in Weston Otmoor are carried out by Cherwell council. Inspection results feed into the food hygiene rating published by the Food Standards Agency.
Will you tell us when the next visit is due?
Yes. We put a recommended next date on the report. For kitchen extracts, BESA’s minimum intervals run from every 3 months for heavy use to every 12 months for light use, and fire dampers need testing at least once a year.
Why does a grease trap need regular cleaning?
An overfull trap stops separating grease. The result is slow drains, foul odours and eventually a blockage.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for anything that cannot wait until a planned visit. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
How much notice do you need?
For planned work, earlier is better, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
What is TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It is not law, but it’s the benchmark.
Where does the grease from the trap go?
We remove all the waste we take out. It isn’t poured back down the drain, of course.
Between visits
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Mention any increase in cooking
- Tell us when sinks start draining slowly
- Collect waste cooking oil separately
- Fit sink strainers to catch food scraps
Once the trap is cleaned and refitted, the sinks can be used straight away. We run water through to check it drains before we leave.
Grease that gets past the trap sets in the drains. Clearing it then is a bigger job so prevention is the easier route.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
