Grease trap cleaning in Bishop's Sutton, done properly
No two traps are quite the same. Under-sink traps are compact and need frequent attention, while inline traps and interceptors hold more. We assess the trap and how fast it fills before suggesting how often it needs cleaning. If you have a full, neglected grease trap and drains clogged with fat, we can help, from inline grease traps, restaurants and takeaways and under-sink grease traps onwards.
In rural areas, a kitchen may drain to a private system rather than a public sewer, so keeping fat out with a working grease trap matters even more.
We have been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.

Common problems we fix in Bishop's Sutton
A full trap can’t hold any more grease. It then builds up in the drains and on towards the sewer, where it can cause blockages.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Grease setting in the kitchen pipework
- A full, neglected grease trap
- Sinks that drain slowly
- A regular cleaning plan for the grease trap
Hall and church kitchens, near Church of St Nicholas or anywhere around Bishop's Sutton, are used by many hands, and periodic deep cleans and grease trap visits keep them in order.

The process
Your staff don’t need to do much on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Bishop's Sutton before we set off.
- We start by finding the trap and checking its inlet and outlet.
- We ask for the sinks that drain into the trap not to be used.
- The trap is emptied of grease and food waste.
- We clean the chambers, baffles and connections.
- The trap is reassembled, checked for leaks and the waste taken away.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move anything stored near the system
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
How to get a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before work begins.
Advice
What your team can do, and what needs us
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.

What affects the quote in Bishop's Sutton
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- The condition we find in the survey
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.
Helping us quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it

Aftercare tips
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Fit sink strainers to catch food scraps
- Make sure the trap can be reached easily
- Let us know if the kitchen gets busier
- Collect waste cooking oil separately
If we spot problems beyond the trap, such as a drain that still runs slowly, we will tell you. It may need a drainage specialist to look further.
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.
Bishop's Sutton kitchens: local notes
The FSA’s data shows about 5 bars, pubs and nightclubs registered in Bishop's Sutton and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Where they run a kitchen, it needs the same deep cleaning and grease trap care as any restaurant. It’s Winchester City council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Bishop's Sutton. They look at the cleanliness of the whole kitchen: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment. Keeping a record of deep cleans and grease trap visits helps at inspection time.
If you run a kitchen in an older building near Bishop's Sutton, such as a historic house like Hinton Ampner House (about 2.9 miles south), older drains make a working grease trap all the more important. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Perins School or anywhere near Bishop's Sutton, the holidays are the time for a deep clean or a grease trap clean.

Your questions about grease trap cleaning in Bishop's Sutton
Can you come to Bishop's Sutton after we close?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The site is handed back ready to open. Just call 0345 646 2711 or email us with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Bishop's Sutton?
Kitchens in Bishop's Sutton are inspected by Winchester City council’s environmental health officers. Inspection results feed into the food hygiene rating published by the Food Standards Agency.
What paperwork should we keep on file?
Visit reports, certificates and your in-house cleaning logs. They’re what an insurer, fire officer or EHO may ask for, so keep them where they can be found quickly.
What does TR19 mean?
A BESA specification, with two parts that matter most here: 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.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No, not in itself. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19® as the benchmark, and many insurers ask for proof of cleaning to it. The legal duty sits in the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 in England and Wales.
Do you take the waste away?
It’s removed from site when we leave. Your staff do not have to handle it once the clean is done.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, always. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
Will cleaning the grease trap fix a blocked drain?
Our service covers the grease trap itself. Where the problem is further down the drain, we’ll say so so you can call a drainage contractor.
