Grease trap cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Andwell
A clean trap means flowing drains and no foul smells. We empty the built-up grease and food solids and the chambers and baffles cleaned and the trap checked before we leave. If you’re dealing with washing-up water that won’t drain away and an overdue grease trap, we can put it right.
Work in a small place like Andwell starts with agreeing a date and access, and the deep clean is the same as anywhere: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That is why every job is written up in a report with pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Your questions about grease trap cleaning in Andwell
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Andwell?
The local authority for Andwell is Basingstoke and Deane council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. Photos from a deep clean are a simple record of what was done and when.
Can you get to a site in Andwell?
Yes. Andwell is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
What happens if a grease trap is not cleaned?
A full trap cannot catch any more grease. It then sets in the drains, causing blockages and smells, and can add to fatbergs in the sewer.
Do we need to stop using the sinks while you work?
The sinks that drain into the trap cannot be used while it’s open. We book the visit around your service to keep disruption down.
What’s the right interval for grease trap cleaning?
It varies with the trap and the kitchen. Slow or smelly sinks between cleans mean it needs doing more often, and we can shorten it.
Do you recommend a next date?
Yes. The report recommends when the next visit should be, based on use and what we found.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so we can schedule a run of sites on one programme. Every site has its own report.
What paperwork should we keep on file?
Anything that proves the system is maintained: our reports and photos, any certificates and your in-house logs. A single log for each site works best.

For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
Keeping the system healthy
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Wipe grease off pans before washing them
- Keep waste oil out of the drains
- Mention any increase in cooking
- Do not rely on hot water to clear grease
We’ll suggest when the trap should be cleaned again. That depends on how quickly it filled and how busy the kitchen is.
A fixed cleaning interval means the trap never gets overfull. The interval is set to suit the trap and the kitchen.
Why act early in Andwell
A dirty grease trap smells. Rotting food and grease give off foul odours and the smell carries. A clean trap takes the source away. It’s simpler to plan the work at Andwell now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before any work starts.
