Grease trap cleaning in Bishopstoke
Kitchens in Bishopstoke use us for grease trap cleaning, whether it’s an under-sink unit or a larger inline trap. We come when the sinks are not needed so washing up is not interrupted. We’re often asked to deal with a grease trap that hasn’t been emptied in a long time and a regular cleaning plan for the grease trap, on school and care home kitchens, pot wash sinks and kitchen waste pipes.
Around a place like Bishopstoke, 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.
Duct Doctor has 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.

What happens on the day
We are used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. The visit itself takes less than an hour for many under-sink units. Tell us when your site near Bishopstoke is quiet and the visit will be booked for then.
- First, we locate the grease trap and look at the pipework around it.
- Nothing drains into the trap while it’s open.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids

Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts.
Advice
Why act early in Bishopstoke
Grease that leaves the kitchen ends up somewhere. It adds to blockages further down the drains and sewer. Keeping it in the trap, and emptying the trap, is the responsible thing to do. A site near Bishopstoke that has to close at short notice is hard to cover for.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before any work starts.

Common problems we fix in Bishopstoke
The more a kitchen cooks and washes up, the quicker the trap fills. Traps sized for lighter use can struggle when cooking increases.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- An inline trap or interceptor due for cleaning
- A blocked kitchen drain caused by grease
- Gurgling drains in the kitchen
- A grease trap that hasn’t been emptied in a long time
Moorgreen Hospital, about 2.8 miles south, is the nearest hospital to Bishopstoke; healthcare kitchens can’t stop cooking, so deep cleans are worked around meal times.

Honest limits
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- Leaking pipework or sink wastes, which need a plumber
- A unit that cannot cope with the kitchen’s output
- Blockages in the public sewer beyond the property
If you’re not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
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.

Grease trap cleaning around Bishopstoke
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 49 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 28 sandwich bars and takeaways within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Bishopstoke. Each of them sends fat, oil and grease towards the drain, which is why grease traps need regular emptying. It’s Eastleigh council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Bishopstoke. The state of floors, drains and hard-to-reach corners all feeds into the inspection. Having the dates of the last deep clean to hand saves digging for them on the day.
Half-term is a good time for school kitchens, at schools like Stoke Park Junior School for instance, to have the grease trap emptied and the kitchen deep cleaned. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St Paul's or elsewhere in Bishopstoke, a deep clean and an emptied grease trap before a busy season of events are worth booking.

Common questions in Bishopstoke
Is Bishopstoke within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Who inspects food businesses in Bishopstoke?
In Bishopstoke, it’s Eastleigh council that carries out food hygiene inspections. An officer may look behind equipment and at drains, so it pays to have the deep clean booked before those areas build up.
What accreditations do you have?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
Can you give me a price for grease trap cleaning?
Trap size, type, condition and access all affect the price. Tell us about the trap and we’ll come back with a fixed price.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and you will get one fixed quote.
What does TR19 mean?
A BESA specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It is not legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
What do you do with the waste?
The waste leaves with us. You’re not left with anything to dispose of when we go.
Will you tell us when the next visit is due?
Yes. The interval depends on how much the system is used and what we find, and we explain the reasoning on the report.
