Grease trap cleaning in Anthill Common
Kitchens in Anthill Common use us for grease trap cleaning, from small under-sink units to inline traps and interceptors. We come when the sinks aren’t needed so washing up isn’t interrupted. If you have a bad smell from the sinks or drains and gurgling from the sink waste, we can help, from kitchen waste pipes, restaurants and takeaways and pot wash sinks onwards.
Somewhere as small as Anthill Common, the kitchens that need a deep clean are usually a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Wherever there is one, it needs its grease trap and hard-to-reach areas kept clean.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
The process
We turn up at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool before we start, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes a short visit for a small trap and longer for an inline unit or interceptor. A few pictures of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Anthill Common.
- A visit is booked around your service.
- We open the trap and look at its condition.
- We remove the grease layer and settled solids.
- The inside, baffles and outlet are cleaned.
- The trap is closed, tested and the next clean discussed.
How to prepare
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Have your last certificate or report to hand

What grease trap cleaning can’t fix
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what grease trap cleaning won’t do:
- Grease deep in the drains, which needs jetting by a drainage contractor
- A grease trap that is too small for the kitchen
- Plumbing leaks around the sink
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly.
Where we work
- Restaurants and takeaways
- School and care home kitchens
- Inline grease traps
- Pot wash sinks
- Under-sink grease traps
- Kitchen waste pipes
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
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 will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Why deal with it now?
Smells from a neglected trap are hard to ignore. Decomposing waste in the trap smells bad and the smell carries. Cleaning it removes the cause. It’s simpler to plan the work at Anthill Common now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. You’ll have a fixed price before work begins.

Questions from Anthill Common
Do you work in school kitchens around Anthill Common out of term?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. There are about 5 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Anthill Common. Just ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with your term dates and we will plan around them.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Anthill Common?
In Anthill Common, it’s Winchester City council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Keep the dates of your last deep clean and grease trap visit with your food safety records, ready if an officer asks.
What types of grease trap do you clean?
Under-sink and inline grease traps, and larger interceptors. Each one is emptied, cleaned and checked in the same careful way.
What should go in our maintenance log?
Everything that shows the system is looked after: our reports and pictures, any certificates and your in-house logs. A single log for each site works best.
Will cleaning the grease trap fix a blocked drain?
A trap clean removes the grease in the trap, and can clear the problem where the trap was the cause. Blockages further down the drain, or damaged pipework, need a drainage contractor.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
Anything we can’t reach goes on the report, with pictures where possible, and we tell you what would make it reachable, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
Is Anthill Common in your area?
Yes. Anthill Common is part of the area we cover, as part of our area across London and the South East.
What do you do with what you remove?
We take it away when we go. While we work, it’s kept contained to keep the area clean.
