Hampshire · Grease trap cleaning
Bradley grease trap cleaning
For emptying and cleaning of under-sink and inline grease traps in commercial kitchens in Bradley, one call is all it takes: survey, fixed quote, work and sign-off. CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, ISO 9001 and fully insured.
- A small trap that fills too quickly
- Gurgling drains in the kitchen
- A bad smell from the sinks or drains
How the job changes from site to site
Grease interceptors
Bigger kitchens may have a larger grease interceptor. With more capacity, they fill more slowly, but they still need regular emptying and cleaning.
Baffles and outlets
We check the inlet, outlet and baffles at each clean so water flows freely.
Grease trap cleaning in Bradley
Once a trap is full, grease passes straight through. Further down the pipe, the grease cools and hardens and the result is blocked drains and bad smells. A trap that’s cleaned regularly keeps grease where it belongs. If you have a larger grease trap that needs emptying and scheduled grease trap emptying, we can help.
Rural kitchens may drain to a septic tank or a private drain rather than straight into a public sewer, and fat getting past a grease trap can cause real trouble there.
The sign-off is always in writing: 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. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

How it works
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your pictures. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, it takes an hour or so for an under-sink trap, longer for a larger unit. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Bradley before we set off.
- We locate the trap and check how it’s fitted.
- We make sure nothing drains into the trap.
- We empty out the fat, oil, grease and solids.
- We clean every part of the inside.
- The trap is refitted, tested with water and the waste taken away.
Before we arrive
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Tell us where we can park and unload
How to get a quote

What affects the cost of grease trap cleaning
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- What state the system is in
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
You will not find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we will explain what it covers.
Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, photos of the system and any previous report or certificate. Then phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Bradley: your questions answered
Can the work in Bradley be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. It means the site in Bradley keeps running as normal. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we will book within them.
Who inspects food businesses in Bradley?
That’s East Hampshire council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Bradley. Photos from a deep clean are a simple record of what was done and when.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before any work starts, and anything we remove is contained. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
What do you do with what you remove?
We take it away when we go. During the work, it’s contained to keep the area clean.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not normally. Visits are timed for when the area is closed, such as overnight or at a weekend, so the site can carry on as normal.
What problems does a full grease trap cause?
An overfull trap stops separating grease. The result is slow drains, foul odours and eventually a blockage.
What’s the right interval for grease trap cleaning?
That depends on the trap and the kitchen. Small under-sink units fill faster than larger traps, and busy kitchens fill them faster still. We’ll recommend a schedule once we have seen it.
Do you cover Bradley?
Yes. Our technicians work in Bradley, within the South East and London area we cover.
Do you need grease trap cleaning in Bradley?
The more a kitchen cooks and washes up, the quicker the trap fills. Traps sized for lighter use can struggle when cooking increases.
The symptoms we’re asked about most include:
- A bad smell from the sinks or drains
- An inline trap or interceptor due for cleaning
- Washing-up water that will not drain away
- A regular cleaning plan for the grease trap
If you run a kitchen in an older building near Bradley, such as a historic house like Hall Place (about 1.9 miles south-east), older drains make a working grease trap all the more important.

Bradley kitchens: local notes
At about 49 miles from central London, Bradley sits well inside the area we cover. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you. Kitchens in Bradley get their food hygiene inspections from East Hampshire council. Walls, floors, ceilings and equipment are all part of what they look at. Having the dates of the last deep clean to hand saves digging for them on the day.
If you look after a hall kitchen near Church of All Saints or anywhere in Bradley, a deep clean between busy seasons is easier than a scramble before a big event. If you run a care home or healthcare kitchen near Bradley (the nearest hospital is Alton Community Hospital, about 4.8 miles south-east), a grease trap on a set schedule avoids a blocked drain mid-service.
Bradley is about 5 miles west of Alton, in Hampshire. Across the SO24 area, we can take on grease trap cleaning. Bradley is one of 683 places in Hampshire where we work for grease trap cleaning. There’s also a page for Reading, roughly 20 miles from Bradley.

What your team can do, and what needs us
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Aftercare tips
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Don’t wait for a blockage to book a clean
- Make sure the trap can be reached easily
- Report slow or smelly sinks early
- Let us know if the kitchen gets busier
Anything we notice beyond the trap, like a slow drain downstream, is pointed out. It may need a drainage specialist 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.
