Grease trap cleaning in Awbridge, done properly
Kitchens in Awbridge use us for grease trap cleaning, from small under-sink units to inline traps and interceptors. Visits are booked around your service so washing up is not interrupted. We are often asked to deal with drains clogged with fat and drains that gurgle and bubble, on restaurants and takeaways, kitchen waste pipes and school and care home kitchens.
In a village or hamlet like Awbridge, commercial kitchens are few, perhaps a pub, a school or a care home. Each still needs the occasional deep clean and its grease trap kept clear.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That’s why every job is written up in a report with pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

When it’s something else
Before booking, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Grease set hard in the drain run
- Blockages in the public sewer beyond the property
- Broken pipework below ground
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll tell you honestly.
Parts of the system we cover
- Under-sink grease traps
- Inline grease traps
- Restaurants and takeaways
- Kitchen waste pipes
- School and care home kitchens
- Pot wash sinks
Between visits
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Hot water only moves grease further down
- Don’t store things on top of the trap
- Keep strainers in every sink
- Collect waste cooking oil separately
We will suggest when the trap should be cleaned again. It’s based on how full it was and how much the kitchen cooks.
Grease that gets past the trap sets in the drains. Clearing it then is a bigger job, so it’s far better to keep the trap clean.
Do you need grease trap cleaning in Awbridge?
In Awbridge, as everywhere, grease traps are easy to forget. Tucked away under the sink or below the floor, it’s often ignored until something goes wrong.
Clients normally contact us after spotting something like this:
- A bad smell from the sinks or drains
- Grease setting in the kitchen pipework
- A slow-draining kitchen sink
- A full, neglected grease trap
Healthcare kitchens cook through the year, so a deep clean has to be fitted around meals; Romsey Community Hospital, about 3 miles south-east, is the nearest hospital to Awbridge.
Questions to ask before booking
- What insurance they carry
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- Whether a survey comes first
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
How the job changes from site to site
Grease interceptors
Bigger kitchens may have a larger grease interceptor. They hold more grease and solids but they still need cleaning.
Under-sink grease traps
Small grease traps sit under the sink. Their small size means they fill fast and need regular cleaning.
Awbridge questions
Do you work in villages like Awbridge?
Yes, Awbridge is part of our area, however small the site. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Can the work in Awbridge be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Where does the grease from the trap go?
The waste leaves with us. Nothing greasy is left on site after the visit.
Does the report say when we need you again?
Yes. We put a recommended next date on the report. BESA’s minimum intervals for kitchen extracts range from 3-monthly for heavy use to 12-monthly for light use, and fire dampers need testing at least once a year.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
They’re marked on the report. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, which we can install.
What do you do with what you remove?
It leaves the site with us at the end of the visit. While we work, it’s kept contained to keep the area clean.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes, of course. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we’ll propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and you’ll get one fixed quote.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Awbridge
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Hampshire. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We’re happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
What grease trap cleaning looks like in Awbridge
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 3 restaurants, cafés and canteens across Awbridge and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). A grease trap in kitchens like these fills steadily and needs emptying before it overflows. Food hygiene inspections in Awbridge are the job of Test Valley council’s environmental health team. An inspection covers the structure of the kitchen as well as the food. A cleaning log that includes deep cleans and grease trap visits shows the work is planned.
Historic houses such as Mottisfont Abbey (about 2 miles north) are part of the area around Awbridge, and if you run event catering at a venue like that, a deep clean between seasons helps. A summer deep clean suits schools such as Awbridge Primary School, as the kitchen can be stripped back with no lunches to serve.

Why deal with it now?
A full grease trap lets grease through to the drains. There it sets and narrows the pipe, until the drain blocks. Regular trap cleaning beats dealing with a blockage. Planning a trip to Awbridge ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered and we will price it together.
