Grease trap cleaning in Amport
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 check the trap is working properly. If you have drains that gurgle and bubble and an under-sink trap that keeps filling up, we can help.
For a kitchen in or near Amport, the visit is planned ahead, around opening times and the journey.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: 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, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.

What affects the cost of grease trap cleaning
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- The scale of the work
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- The condition of the system
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before work begins.
What we need to know
When you contact us, these details help:
- A few general shots of the system
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, photos of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
When to call us in Amport
Hot washing-up water keeps grease liquid for a while. When it cools, the grease hardens in the pipework or the drain.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A kitchen drain that smells
- A blocked kitchen drain caused by grease
- Gurgling from the sink waste
- A larger grease trap that needs emptying
If you run a care home or healthcare kitchen near Amport (the nearest hospital is Andover War Memorial Hospital, about 3.7 miles east), a grease trap on a set schedule avoids a blocked drain mid-service.
Before booking anyone
- Proof of insurance
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
- Whether they recommend a next date
Keeping the system healthy
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep access to the trap clear
- Do not rely on hot water to clear grease
- Tell us when sinks start draining slowly
- Let us know if the kitchen gets busier
Scrape plates into the bin before washing up. Sink strainers help catch solids before they reach the trap.
A trap that is left too long stops catching grease. Regular emptying keeps it working and avoids a blockage.
How the visit works
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, do the work, clear away and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself takes an hour or two in most kitchens, depending on the size and condition of the trap. If you can send pictures, we can arrive in Amport knowing what to expect.
- We find the trap and check how it’s connected.
- We ask for the sinks that drain into the trap not to be used.
- We take out the layer of fat, oil and grease and any solids.
- We clean the chambers, baffles and connections.
- We put it back together, run water through and remove the waste.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions

Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

FAQs for Amport
Do you work in villages like Amport?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Amport included. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Which environmental health team covers Amport?
The local authority for Amport is Test Valley council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. 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.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
How far ahead should we book?
Book as early as you can for planned work, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
What do you do with the waste?
The fat, oil, grease and solids we remove go with us. It is not poured back down the drain at any point.
Do you deal with blocked drains beyond the grease trap?
Our service covers the grease trap itself. If the drain beyond the trap is blocked or damaged, we’ll tell you so you can call a drainage contractor.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, from your pictures and details, or with a visit where necessary. A fixed quote follows.
What about areas you cannot get to?
They’re marked on the report. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, which we can install.
What a clean won’t put right
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- Leaking pipework or sink wastes, which need a plumber
- Sewer problems outside the premises
- A trap undersized for the amount of cooking
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Where we work
- Kitchen waste pipes
- Restaurants and takeaways
- School and care home kitchens
- Pot wash sinks

For landlords and multi-site operators
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
