Grease trap cleaning in Bedhampton, done properly
A grease trap catches fats, oils and grease from the kitchen sinks before they reach the drain. Cooling water lets the grease rise and separate while the water carries on to the drain. Over time, the trap fills up and needs emptying and cleaning. If you’re dealing with a small trap that fills too quickly and an overdue grease trap, we can help.
In a smaller place like Bedhampton, commercial kitchens are more likely to be a pub, a café, a takeaway or a school or care home kitchen. A smaller kitchen still builds up grease where everyday cleaning does not reach.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with pictures of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

What affects the cost of grease trap cleaning
Your quote is based on your site. We take into account:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- The number of sites or systems
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why we survey first, from photos or on site, and the price is agreed before any work starts.
Asking for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Useful things to send:
- The postcode and the type of business
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, photos of the system and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
Your questions about grease trap cleaning in Bedhampton
Do you work at weekends in Bedhampton?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. That way a site in Bedhampton does not have to lose a day’s trading. Let us know the hours you are closed and we will book within them.
Who inspects food businesses in Bedhampton?
Food hygiene inspections in Bedhampton are carried out by Havant council. Photos from a deep clean are a simple record of what was done and when.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, we are fully insured. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it for clients who vet their contractors.
What do you do to protect the area?
Protection goes down first: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
Which records should we keep?
Each report and certificate we give you, filed in the maintenance log with your in-house cleaning records. BESA advises that certificates record the date, location and technician.
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.
Will you tell us when the next visit is due?
Yes. Every report includes a recommended date for the next visit, based on what we found and how the system is used.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. One number covers all your sites in our area, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
Part by part
Inline grease traps
Inline traps may be under a floor panel or in a cupboard. We check how to reach it before the visit.
School, care home and staff kitchens
Care home and hospital kitchens need their drains working all the time. We fit visits around mealtimes.
Between visits
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Don’t wait for a blockage to book a clean
- Don’t store things on top of the trap
- Act on gurgling or smelly drains
- Don’t rely on hot water to clear grease
If we spot problems beyond the trap, such as a drain that still runs slowly, we will tell you. That may need a drainage contractor to investigate.
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.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so records stay tidy.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.
The process
The first job on site is protection: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes an hour or so for an under-sink trap, longer for a larger unit, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. For a site near Bedhampton, the work is booked around your opening hours, evenings and weekends included.
- First, we find the trap and look at its connections.
- We make sure nothing drains into the trap.
- We empty out the fat, oil, grease and solids.
- We clean every part of the inside.
- We refit it, run water through and remove the waste.
Before we arrive
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards

Common problems we fix in Bedhampton
In Bedhampton, as everywhere, grease traps are easy to forget. Hidden under a sink or in a floor, it’s often ignored until something goes wrong.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- Grease setting in the kitchen pipework

- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
