How we handle grease trap cleaning in Woodway
A clean trap means flowing drains and no foul smells. We empty the built-up grease and food solids, clean the inside and the baffles and the trap checked before we leave. If you’re dealing with an interceptor full of grease and solids and drains clogged with fat, we can put it right.
Work in a small place like Woodway starts with agreeing a date and access, and the deep clean is the same as anywhere: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

- Pot wash sinks
- Kitchen waste pipes

- School and care home kitchens
- Restaurants and takeaways
Keeping the system healthy
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Keep access to the trap clear
- Don’t rely on hot water to clear grease
- Keep the grease trap on a regular cleaning schedule
- Keep waste oil out of the drains
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.
Slow sinks and a bad smell are early warnings. Getting it cleaned now can stop a full blockage down the line.
What happens on the day
Protection comes first: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes anything from under an hour to a few hours, depending on the trap, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. A few photos of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Woodway.

Woodway: your questions answered
Which council inspects kitchens in Woodway?
That’s Vale of White Horse council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Woodway. An officer may look behind equipment and at drains, so it pays to have the deep clean booked before those areas build up.
Can you come to Woodway after we close?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. It means the site in Woodway keeps running as normal. When you call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, mention when the site is quiet.
How much notice do you need?
Book as early as you can for planned work, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
Can you give me a price for grease trap cleaning?
The price depends on the trap and the schedule. Get in touch and we’ll send you a fixed quote so you know the cost up front.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not usually. We need the work area to ourselves while we are on site, so the visit goes in a quiet slot.
Can one contract cover all our 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 recommend a next date?
Yes. The recommended date is 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.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line, and we’ll advise on what to do next.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. 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. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
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. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
