Grease trap cleaning in Bishop's Waltham
Grease is behind most blocked kitchen drains. Further on, grease can build into fatbergs in the sewer. A grease trap that’s emptied and cleaned regularly keeps them out of the drains. The work covers restaurants and takeaways, inline grease traps and kitchen waste pipes, and the jobs we see most are a slow-draining kitchen sink and a kitchen drain that smells.
Around a place like Bishop's Waltham, deep clean work tends to mean pubs, cafés and school or care home kitchens. Smaller kitchens still collect grease behind equipment and in the drains.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

Why act early in Bishop's Waltham
Grease that gets past the trap doesn’t disappear. It adds to blockages further down the drains and sewer. A well-maintained trap keeps it where it can be removed. Light use slows the build-up but doesn’t stop it.
We do not list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we’ll explain what it covers.

Fixed quotes for grease trap cleaning in Bishop's Waltham
Sites vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- The condition we find in the survey
- Any permits to work or inductions
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and the price is agreed before work begins.
What we need to know
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. The most useful are:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- The site address and the type of premises
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, a few photos and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Keeping the system healthy
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Tell us if your menu or hours change
- Wipe grease off pans before washing them
- Report slow or smelly sinks early
- Keep access to the trap clear
We’ll suggest when the trap should be cleaned again. It’s based on how full it was and how busy the kitchen is.
An overfull trap lets grease pass. Cleaning it before it’s full keeps grease out of the drains and saves a call-out for a blocked drain.
When something else is needed
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work will not fix:
- A unit that can’t cope with the kitchen’s output
- Grease deep in the drains, which needs jetting by a drainage contractor
- Blockages further down the drainage network
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Grease trap cleaning in Bishop's Waltham: local notes
Food Standards Agency records list about 6 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 3 takeaways and sandwich shops across Bishop's Waltham and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Wherever they wash pans and plates, fat heads for the drain unless a trap catches it. Kitchens in Bishop's Waltham get their food hygiene inspections from Winchester City council. They look at the cleanliness of the whole kitchen: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment. Having the dates of the last deep clean to hand saves digging for them on the day.
Hall kitchens near Church of St Peter or elsewhere in Bishop's Waltham may have older sinks and drains, so a grease trap check is worth adding to a deep clean. Half-term is a good time for school kitchens, at schools like Bishop's Waltham Junior School for instance, to have the grease trap emptied and the kitchen deep cleaned. If you run a care home or healthcare kitchen near Bishop's Waltham (the nearest hospital is Moorgreen Hospital, about 5.1 miles west), a grease trap on a set schedule avoids a blocked drain mid-service.

What staff can safely do
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.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Bishop's Waltham
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We are happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and photos, so records stay tidy.
Common questions in Bishop's Waltham
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Bishop's Waltham?
In Bishop's Waltham, it’s Winchester City council that carries out food hygiene inspections. How often a business is inspected depends on the council’s risk rating for it, so the kitchen needs to be ready at any time.
Do you clean school kitchens in Bishop's Waltham in the summer holidays?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. The FSA’s register shows about 4 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Bishop's Waltham. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. We always survey first, from your pictures and details, or with a visit where needed. Then you get a fixed quote.
Do you take the waste away?
The fat, oil, grease and solids we remove go with us. None of it goes back into the drains, of course.
What’s TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
How long will the sinks be out of use?
Typically, it takes an hour or two in most kitchens, depending on the size and condition of the trap. Bigger or overdue traps need more time and we’ll say so when we quote.
Do you provide a certificate or report?
Yes. You get a written report with photos after each visit, showing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Kitchen extract cleans to TR19® Grease also get a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
What types of grease trap do you clean?
We clean under-sink traps, inline traps and interceptors. Tell us what you have and we will plan the visit.
