Grease Trap Cleaning in Anmore
Emptying and cleaning of under-sink and inline grease traps in commercial kitchens for commercial sites in Anmore and across Hampshire. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and fully insured.
- Sinks that drain slowly
- An inline trap or interceptor due for cleaning
- An overdue grease trap
Different parts, different methods
Baffles and outlets
The baffles hold back grease while water flows on. They gather grease and debris so they’re cleaned every time.
Grease interceptors
An interceptor works on the same principle as a smaller trap. Cooling water lets grease rise and solids settle.
Grease trap cleaning in Anmore, done properly
For kitchens across Anmore, grease trap cleaning fits easily around service. We empty, clean and check the trap, and the waste is taken away. It works on its own or with a deep clean or extract clean. Typical jobs include a kitchen drain that smells and a larger grease trap that needs emptying, on kitchen waste pipes, pot wash sinks and restaurants and takeaways.
Rural kitchens may drain to a septic tank or a private drain rather than straight into a public sewer, and fat getting past a grease trap can cause real trouble there.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Commercial kitchens in Anmore
The FSA’s data shows about 9 pubs and bars registered within about 1.5 miles of central Anmore. Wherever they cook, the kitchen and its drains need the same attention as a restaurant’s. It’s Winchester City council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Anmore. The state of floors, drains and hard-to-reach corners all feeds into the inspection. A record of each deep clean helps show the kitchen is kept in order.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Queen Alexandra Hospital about 3.6 miles south, deep cleans and grease trap visits are planned so meals still go out.

What affects the quote in Anmore
Every site gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Whether several sites go on one quote
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered and we will price it together.
Helping us quote
You do not need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- A few general shots of the system
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
FAQs for Anmore
Do you work in villages like Anmore?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Anmore included. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Anmore?
That’s Winchester City council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Anmore. Inspection results feed into the food hygiene rating published by the Food Standards Agency.
What does TR19 mean?
A BESA specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It is not legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
What do you do with the waste?
We take the grease and solids away with us. Nothing greasy is left on site after the visit.
What problems does a full grease trap cause?
Once it’s full, grease passes straight through. The grease hardens in the pipes, leading to blocked drains and smells, and can add to fatbergs in the sewer.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, depending on what the system needs.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
What does a grease trap clean cost?
It depends on the type and size of the trap, its condition and access. Send us details or a photo and we will come back with a fixed price.
What we’re called out for in Anmore
The more a kitchen cooks and washes up, the quicker the trap fills. Traps sized for lighter use can struggle when cooking increases.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A kitchen drain that smells
- A routine grease trap service
- A grease trap that hasn’t been emptied in a long time
- Drains that gurgle and bubble
School kitchens, at schools like Denmead Infant School for example, normally have their deep cleans and grease trap work done while the canteen is closed.
What to look for in a quote
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- Whether VAT is included
- Whether they’re fully insured
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Hampshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
Keeping the system healthy
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Fit sink strainers to catch food scraps
- Keep waste oil out of the drains
- Wipe grease off pans before washing them
- Don’t rely on hot water to clear grease
Keep used oil out of the drains and the trap won’t fill as quickly. It’s the single easiest way to help.
If the sinks are slow or smelly, the trap may be full. Getting it cleaned now can stop a full blockage down the line.
What we do, step by step
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes anything from under an hour to a few hours, depending on the trap. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Anmore and turn up when the site is quiet.
- First, we find the trap and look at its connections.
- Sinks feeding the trap are taken out of use.
- We empty out the fat, oil, grease and solids.
- The chambers and baffles are cleaned.
- The trap is refitted, tested with water and the waste taken away.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
