Grease trap cleaning in Hampshire: how it works

If the sinks drain slowly or smell, the trap is often the cause. In Hampshire, as everywhere we work, our team empties and cleans the trap and run water through to check it drains. The work covers pot wash sinks, inline grease traps and kitchen waste pipes, and people most often call us about gurgling drains in the kitchen and a grease trap that hasn’t been emptied in a long time.

We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool first, 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.

We locate the trap and check how it’s fitted.
We make sure nothing drains into the trap.
We empty out the fat, oil, grease and solids.
We clean every part of the inside.
The trap is refitted, tested with water and the waste taken away.

What affects the price in Hampshire

Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re not sure what’s needed, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

Near you in Basingstoke

Locally, jobs take us to businesses close to King's Furlong Infant School and Nursery, Cranbourne and Eastrop Park, among other places. Other local landmarks include The Rising Sun pub (0.5 miles north-east), St Michael's Church (0.5 miles east) and The Costello School (1 mile east). The nearest railway station is Basingstoke station, about 0.6 miles east of the centre. A little further out are Basing House (2.2 miles east) and The Malls (0.6 miles east). For a walk, there’s Farleigh Hill and Daneshill Park Woods.

Commercial kitchens across Hampshire

From Basingstoke, Winchester and Gosport to its smaller places, Hampshire has commercial kitchens of every size. All of them collect grease behind equipment, on high surfaces and in the drains.

Much of our work across London and the South East happens in the evening, overnight or at weekends, so sites in Hampshire can keep trading. Coastal kitchens in Hampshire often have their busiest months in the summer, so cleaning is often best booked before or after the peak season.

Basingstoke: For busy kitchens close to Basingstoke station, deep cleans and grease trap work can be done after closing. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Basingstoke and North Hampshire Hospital (about 1.1 miles north), cook for long hours, so deep cleans and grease trap work are planned around patients’ meals.

Signs you need grease trap cleaning

Hot washing-up water keeps grease liquid for a while. When it cools, the grease hardens, often in the trap or the pipe beyond.

What we are most often called out for:

A blocked kitchen drain caused by grease
A slow-draining kitchen sink
A small trap that fills too quickly
An inline trap or interceptor due for cleaning

For landlords and multi-site operators

Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Hampshire. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.

Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?

Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.

If your staff spot something 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’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.

When something else is needed

Some problems need a different service or another trade:

A grease trap that is too small for the kitchen
Collapsed or damaged drains, which need a drainage contractor
Blockages further down the drainage network

Different parts, different methods

School, care home and staff kitchens

Drains in care settings need to keep flowing. Visits are planned between meals.

Grease interceptors

Interceptors separate grease the same way, on a larger scale. Grease floats and solids sink.

Common questions in Hampshire

Do you have a 24/7 line?

Yes. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line, and we’ll advise on what to do next.

Do you provide a certificate or report?

Yes. You get a written report with photos after each visit, covering the work, any areas we couldn’t access and the recommended next date. Kitchen extract cleans to TR19® Grease also get a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

How long will the sinks be out of use?

Typically, it takes anything from under an hour to a few hours, depending on the trap. A large or very full trap takes longer and we’ll say so when we quote.

Do you recommend a next date?

Yes. The report recommends when the next visit should be, based on what we found and how the system is used.

Do you look at the system first?

Yes. Every job is surveyed first, either from pictures and details you send or on a site visit. Then you get a fixed quote.

Are you accredited?

We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.

Can you look after several sites?

Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so sites at different addresses can be planned together on one programme. Every site has its own report.
