Hampshire · Grease trap cleaning
Grease trap cleaning in Brighton Hill, Hampshire
Need grease trap cleaning in Brighton Hill? We diagnose first, fix the price and book the work around your hours, finishing with a written report and photos.
- An under-sink unit that needs regular emptying
- Foul odours from the grease trap
- A grease trap that hasn’t been emptied in a long time
Looking after it afterwards
So the system stays in good health:
- Make sure the trap can be reached easily
- Fit sink strainers to catch food scraps
- Tell us when sinks start draining slowly
- Hot water only moves grease further down
Once the trap is cleaned and refitted, the sinks can be used straight away. Water is run through to check everything flows before we go.
If the kitchen has got busier, the trap fills faster. Shortening the cleaning interval now stops it overflowing.
Grease trap cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Brighton Hill
Every trap is different. Under-sink units are small and fill quickly, while inline traps and interceptors hold more. We assess the trap and how fast it fills and suggest an interval that suits. The work covers under-sink grease traps, kitchen waste pipes and pot wash sinks, and people most often call us about an under-sink trap that keeps filling up and a full, neglected grease trap.
Kitchens around a smaller place like Brighton Hill are often in older buildings, with drains and grease traps that have been there for years. Smells and slow drains are the usual warning signs.
Every visit ends with a written report and pictures, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Why it’s worth doing now in Brighton Hill
A blocked drain can stop a kitchen in its tracks. Water won’t drain away and waste water can come back up. Keeping the trap clean reduces the risk. A site near Brighton Hill that has to close at short notice is hard to cover for.
The cost depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.

The process
Night work is normal for us. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, 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. Everything the job in Brighton Hill needs is worked out beforehand, from the survey.
- 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
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Clear the space around the work
- Tell us where we can park and unload

Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

What the work involves, part by part
Grease interceptors
A larger unit takes more time to empty and clean and we allow for that.
Inline grease traps
Inline traps are fitted into the drain line. They hold more than under-sink units but still need regular emptying.
Grease trap cleaning in Brighton Hill: local notes
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 51 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 29 takeaways in Brighton Hill and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Each of them sends fat, oil and grease towards the drain, which is why grease traps need regular emptying. In Brighton Hill, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Basingstoke and Deane council. They look at the cleanliness of the whole kitchen: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment. A record of each deep clean helps show the kitchen is kept in order.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Basingstoke and North Hampshire Hospital about 2.1 miles north, deep cleans and grease trap visits are planned so meals still go out. Hall kitchens near The Church Of Christ The King or elsewhere in Brighton Hill may have older sinks and drains, so a grease trap check is worth adding to a deep clean. Historic houses such as The Vyne (about 4 miles north) are part of the area around Brighton Hill, and if you run event catering at a venue like that, a deep clean between seasons helps.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
