Why act early in Abshot
A full grease trap lets grease through to the drains. It hardens on the pipe walls until water cannot get through. Cleaning the trap regularly is far easier than clearing a blocked drain. If the system at a site near Abshot fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before work begins.

About our grease trap cleaning in Abshot
No two traps are quite the same. Under-sink units are small and fill quickly and larger traps hold more grease before they fill. We assess the trap and how fast it fills and suggest an interval that suits. We’re often asked to deal with a routine grease trap service and a grease trap that hasn’t been emptied in a long time, on restaurants and takeaways, kitchen waste pipes and inline grease traps.
Work in a small place like Abshot starts with agreeing a date and access, and the deep clean is the same as anywhere: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

The process
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool before we start, and the area around the work is covered and protected. The work itself takes a short visit for a small trap and longer for an inline unit or interceptor. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Abshot.
- A visit is booked around your service.
- The trap is opened up and checked.
- Built-up grease and food waste are taken out.
- The inside, baffles and outlet are cleaned.
- The trap is closed, tested and the next clean discussed.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms

Advice
Commercial kitchens in Abshot
There are about 25 restaurants, cafés and works canteens within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Abshot, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Kitchens like these wash fat, oil and grease down the sink every day, and a grease trap is what stops it reaching the sewer. Food hygiene inspections in Abshot are the job of Fareham council’s environmental health team. They look at the cleanliness of the whole kitchen: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment. Having the dates of the last deep clean to hand saves digging for them on the day.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Fareham Community Hospital (about 1.7 miles north), cook for long hours, so deep cleans and grease trap work are planned around patients’ meals. Hall kitchens near St John or elsewhere in Abshot may have older sinks and drains, so a grease trap check is worth adding to a deep clean. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Locks Heath Infant School or anywhere near Abshot, the holidays are the time for a deep clean or a grease trap clean.

Abshot questions
Can you work in school kitchens in Abshot during the holidays?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. The FSA’s register shows about 4 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Abshot. Just call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with your term dates and we’ll plan around them.
Can you work in Abshot outside opening hours?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. It means the site in Abshot keeps running as normal. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Do you take the waste away?
It’s removed from site when we leave. There’s nothing left for your team to deal with after we have finished.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line, and we will advise on what to do next.
Will I get paperwork for my records?
Yes. It’s your proof that the work was done: a dated report with pictures, listing the work and any areas we couldn’t reach.
How far ahead should we book?
Book as early as you can for planned work, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
What happens if a grease trap is not cleaned?
Once it’s full, grease passes straight through. The grease hardens in the pipes, leading to blocked drains and smells and can end up adding to sewer blockages.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes, of course. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we will suggest a schedule and quote for it.
Aftercare tips
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Scrape plates and pans into the bin before washing up
- Make sure the trap can be reached easily
- Let us know if the kitchen gets busier
- Keep waste oil out of the drains
We take the grease and solids away. Nothing is left for you to dispose of after the visit.
Slow sinks and a bad smell are early warnings. Getting it cleaned now can stop a full blockage down the line.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Different parts, different methods
School, care home and staff kitchens
Care home and hospital kitchens need their drains working all the time. Visits are planned between meals.
Under-sink grease traps
Under-sink traps are compact units fitted below the kitchen sink. They fill quickly and need regular cleaning.
Honest limits
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Drains that need jetting rather than trap cleaning
- Plumbing leaks around the sink
- Drains that are cracked or have collapsed
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will tell you honestly.
