Grease trap cleaning in Aldermaston Soke
Think of the grease trap as a filter for the kitchen’s drains. When it’s looked after, you hardly know it’s there but left too long, it causes trouble. A regular clean keeps it healthy. If you’re dealing with a regular cleaning plan for the grease trap and an overdue grease trap, we can help.
In rural areas, a kitchen may drain to a private system rather than a public sewer, and fat getting past a grease trap can cause real trouble there.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.
Keeping the system healthy
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Avoid pouring boiling water down to shift grease
- Collect waste cooking oil separately
- Keep the grease trap on a regular cleaning schedule
- Keep strainers in every sink
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.
If the sinks are slow or smelly, the trap may be full. Getting it cleaned now can stop a full blockage later.
What grease trap cleaning looks like in Aldermaston Soke
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 5 pubs and bars within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Aldermaston Soke. Pub and hotel kitchens get the same build-up behind equipment and in the grease trap as any other. It’s Basingstoke and Deane council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Aldermaston Soke. The state of floors, drains and hard-to-reach corners all feeds into the inspection. A cleaning log that includes deep cleans and grease trap visits shows the work is planned.
If you run a kitchen in an older building near Aldermaston Soke, such as a historic house like The Vyne (about 4.5 miles south), older drains make a working grease trap all the more important. Half-term is a good time for school kitchens, at schools like Silchester Church of England Primary School for instance, to have the grease trap emptied and the kitchen deep cleaned.

Aldermaston Soke questions
Can you come to Aldermaston Soke after we close?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Aldermaston Soke needn’t be disturbed. When you call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos, mention when the site is quiet.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Aldermaston Soke?
Kitchens in Aldermaston Soke are inspected by Basingstoke and Deane council’s environmental health officers. Photos from a deep clean are a simple record of what was done and when.
How often should a grease trap be cleaned?
It depends on the size of the trap and how busy the kitchen is. Small under-sink units fill faster than larger traps, and busy kitchens fill them faster still. We will suggest an interval after the first clean.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need and the fixed quote is built on it.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, depending on what the system needs.
Which records should we keep?
Each report and certificate we give you, filed in the maintenance log with your in-house cleaning records. BESA says certificates should show the date, location and technician.
Who is the responsible person?
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, it’s the responsible person: normally the employer or whoever controls the premises. In shared or managed buildings, a landlord, facilities manager or managing agent can share the duty.
What types of grease trap do you clean?
We clean all the common types. A photo helps us see what’s fitted when you phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Part by part
Inline grease traps
Inline traps often take waste from several sinks or appliances. That means more grease, so regular cleaning matters.
Under-sink grease traps
We empty and clean under-sink traps without disrupting the rest of the kitchen, and check the lid and seals.
Common problems we fix in Aldermaston Soke
Food waste slips past sink strainers or gets rinsed down. It settles in the trap as solids and takes up space.
These are the problems we see most often:
- A slow-draining kitchen sink
- A blocked kitchen drain caused by grease
- Gurgling from the sink waste
- A grease trap that hasn’t been emptied in a long time
If you look after a hall kitchen near Saint Luke's Church or anywhere in Aldermaston Soke, a deep clean between busy seasons is easier than a scramble before a big event.
