How we handle grease trap cleaning in Allbrook
A grease trap catches fats, oils and grease from the kitchen sinks before they reach the drain. Cooling water lets the grease rise and separate while the water carries on to the drain. Eventually it fills and needs emptying and cleaning. If you are dealing with a full, neglected grease trap and a larger grease trap that needs emptying, we can help.
In a place like Allbrook, kitchens often sit in older buildings with older drains. A blocked drain or a smelly grease trap is typically the first sign.
A written report with photos follows each visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What the work involves, part by part
Baffles and outlets
The outlet carries the separated water on to the drain. A blocked outlet stops the trap working.
Restaurant and takeaway kitchens
A blocked drain in a busy kitchen can stop service. Regular trap cleaning helps prevent it.
Allbrook kitchens: local notes
The FSA’s data shows about 25 pubs and bars and about 3 hotels and B&Bs registered within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Allbrook. Where they run a kitchen, it needs the same deep cleaning and grease trap care as any restaurant. Food hygiene inspections in Allbrook are the job of Eastleigh council’s environmental health team. They look at the cleanliness of the whole kitchen: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment. A cleaning log that includes deep cleans and grease trap visits shows the work is planned.
Historic houses such as South Stoneham House (about 3.7 miles south) are part of the area around Allbrook, and if you run event catering at a venue like that, a deep clean between seasons helps. For schools such as Scantabout Primary School, deep cleans and grease trap work are usually booked for the holidays.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Looking after it afterwards
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Act on gurgling or smelly drains
- Tell us if your menu or hours change
- Hot water only moves grease further down
- Do not store things on top of the trap
The waste we remove leaves with us. Nothing is left for you to dispose of when we’re done.
Grease that gets past the trap sets in the drains. Clearing it then is a bigger job, so it’s far better to keep the trap clean.
What a clean won’t put right
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Grease set hard in the drain run
- A grease trap that is too small for the kitchen
- Blockages further down the drainage network
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What the work covers
- Pot wash sinks
- Restaurants and takeaways
- Inline grease traps
- School and care home kitchens
- Under-sink grease traps
- Kitchen waste pipes

Signs you need grease trap cleaning in Allbrook
The more a kitchen cooks and washes up, the quicker the trap fills. Traps sized for lighter use can fill very quickly when trade picks up.
Clients normally contact us after spotting something like this:
- A small trap that fills too quickly
- A blocked kitchen drain caused by grease
- Drains that gurgle and bubble
- A bad smell from the sinks or drains
Healthcare kitchens cook through the year, so a deep clean has to be fitted around meals; Moorgreen Hospital, about 4.5 miles south, is the nearest hospital to Allbrook.

Every certificate and report from each visit, kept together in your maintenance log with your in-house cleaning records. BESA says certificates should show the date, location and technician.
