Do you need grease trap cleaning in Aldershot?
Food scraps go down the sink with the washing-up water. It settles in the trap as solids and takes up space.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- A routine grease trap service
- Gurgling drains in the kitchen
- An overdue grease trap
- Grease setting in the kitchen pipework
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Fleet Community Hospital (about 4.7 miles north-west), cook for long hours, so deep cleans and grease trap work are planned around patients’ meals.
Before booking anyone
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- When the next visit should be, and why
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- What records you will receive afterwards
Grease trap cleaning in Aldershot, done properly
Smells from the sink, gurgling drains or slow drainage all point to the grease trap. In Aldershot, as everywhere we work, our team empties and cleans the trap, then check the water flows properly. If you have a small trap that fills too quickly and a blocked kitchen drain caused by grease, we can help, from under-sink grease traps, inline grease traps and kitchen waste pipes onwards.
In a town like Aldershot, deep cleans and grease trap work normally mean restaurants, pubs, cafés, takeaways and school or care home kitchens. All of them collect grease behind and under equipment.

There are about 80 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 33 takeaways in Aldershot and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Fat from washing up sets hard in pipes, and kitchens like these produce plenty of it. It’s Rushmoor council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Aldershot.

What affects the quote in Aldershot
We don’t publish a price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- The condition we find in the survey
- The number of sites or systems
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Parking and loading at the site
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you are not sure what’s needed, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos for straight advice and a fixed quote.
Asking for a quote
To speed up the quote, please include:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- The site address and the type of premises
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
Want a quote for grease trap cleaning? Please give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and tell us about the site. We’ll explain what we’d do and send a fixed quote before you commit to anything.
What we do, step by step
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. The visit takes anything from under an hour to a few hours, depending on the trap. Send us pictures of the system and we can plan most of a visit in Aldershot before we arrive.
- First, we find the trap and look at its connections.
- Sinks feeding the trap are taken out of use.
- Grease and solids are removed from the trap.
- We clean every part of the inside.
- The trap is refitted, tested with water and the waste taken away.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Make sure the trap can be reached easily
- Use strainers in the sink plugholes
- Tell us when sinks start draining slowly
- Avoid pouring boiling water down to shift grease
The waste we remove leaves with us. Nothing is left for you to dispose of after the visit.
If the kitchen has got busier, the trap fills faster. Booking cleans more often stops it overflowing.
For landlords and multi-site operators
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Hampshire. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
What grease trap cleaning cannot fix
In fairness, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- A grease trap that is too small for the kitchen
- Plumbing leaks around the sink
- Grease deep in the drains, which needs jetting by a drainage contractor
If you’re not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will give you a straight answer.

Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Which environmental health team covers Aldershot?
Kitchens in Aldershot are inspected by Rushmoor council’s environmental health officers. How often a business is inspected depends on the council’s risk rating for it, so the kitchen needs to be ready at any time.
How regularly does a grease trap need emptying?
It varies with the trap and the kitchen. Slow or smelly sinks between cleans mean it needs doing more often and we will adjust the schedule.
