Grease trap cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Boorley Green

If you are dealing with scheduled grease trap emptying and a full, neglected grease trap, we can put it right.

Aftercare tips
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Don’t rely on hot water to clear grease
- Get food waste into the bin, not the sink
- Do not wait for a blockage to book a clean
- Mention any increase in cooking
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. Once it’s there, it needs a drainage contractor to clear, so it’s far better to keep the trap clean.
Questions from Boorley Green
Can school kitchens in Boorley Green be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. There are about 7 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Boorley Green. You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with the dates the site is empty.
Is Boorley Green within the area you cover?
Yes, Boorley Green is part of our area, however small the site. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes, of course. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we will propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Commercial premises of every kind: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. Work is timed around how each site runs.
What problems does a full grease trap cause?
An overfull trap lets grease into the drains. There it hardens on the pipe walls and causes blockages. Keeping the trap clean stops that happening.
Will you tell us when the next visit is due?
Yes. How often depends on use and condition, and we explain the reasoning on the report.
Which records should we keep?
Anything that proves the system is maintained: reports, certificates, photos and your own cleaning or check logs. One maintenance log per site keeps it simple.
What types of grease trap do you clean?
We clean all the common types. A photo helps us see what’s fitted and we’ll confirm.
What affects the cost of grease trap cleaning
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Parking and loading at the site
- How easy every part is to reach
- What state the system is in
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You’ll have a fixed price before any work starts.
Helping us quote
To speed up the quote, send us:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- A few general shots of the system
- 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, a few pictures and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
What happens on the day
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the pictures you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, it takes anything from under an hour to a few hours, depending on the trap. Your opening hours decide when we come to Boorley Green, not ours.
- First, we find the trap and look at its connections.
- Sinks feeding the trap are taken out of use.
- Grease and solids are removed from the trap.
- The chambers and baffles are cleaned.
- We refit it, run water through and remove the waste.
Preparing for the visit
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Clear the space around the work
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down

Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts.

Honest limits
Grease trap cleaning cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It doesn’t solve:
- A leaking sink waste or trap connection
- Sewer problems outside the premises
- Collapsed or damaged drains, which need a drainage contractor
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll say what we think.
Parts of the system we cover

Boorley Green kitchens: local notes

Fat from washing up sets hard in pipes, and kitchens like these produce plenty of it. Environmental health officers from Eastleigh council inspect food businesses in Boorley Green. They look at the cleanliness of the whole kitchen: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment. Photos and dates from each deep clean make a useful record.
Moorgreen Hospital, about 1.9 miles west, is the nearest hospital to Boorley Green; healthcare kitchens can’t stop cooking, so deep cleans are worked around meal times. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Berrywood Primary School or anywhere near Boorley Green, the holidays are the time for a deep clean or a grease trap clean.

What staff can safely do
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
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, and that’s where we come in.

Do you need grease trap cleaning in Boorley Green?
In Boorley Green, 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.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- A regular cleaning plan for the grease trap
- Gurgling from the sink waste
- An under-sink unit that needs regular emptying
- A full, neglected grease trap
Hall kitchens near St Luke's Church or elsewhere in Boorley Green may have older sinks and drains, so a grease trap check is worth adding to a deep clean.
