How we handle grease trap cleaning in Catisfield
A grease trap catches fats, oils and grease from the kitchen sinks before they reach the drain. As the waste water cools, the grease floats and stays in the trap while the water carries on to the drain. Over time, the trap fills up and needs emptying and cleaning. If you’re dealing with foul odours from the grease trap and a larger grease trap that needs emptying, we can help, from inline grease traps, pot wash sinks and under-sink grease traps onwards.
In a smaller place like Catisfield, commercial kitchens are more likely to be a pub, a café, a takeaway or a school or care home kitchen. A smaller kitchen still builds up grease where everyday cleaning doesn’t reach.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

What affects the quote in Catisfield
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:
- Parking and loading at the site
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- How big the system is
- Site rules, permits and inductions
The cost depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.
What we need to know
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- The site address and the type of premises
- The times we could work without disrupting the site

Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before we start.
Common questions in Catisfield
Is Catisfield within the area you cover?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Catisfield is covered. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Do you work overnight in Catisfield?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The site is handed back ready to open. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Will cleaning the grease trap fix a blocked drain?
That depends on the cause. A full trap is a common cause, and cleaning it can help, but blockages further along need a drainage contractor.

The process
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. After that, the work takes a short visit for a small trap and longer for an inline unit or interceptor. A site near Catisfield normally has room to park, so the questions are about access to the system and your hours.
- A visit is booked around your service.
- The trap is opened up and checked.
- We remove the grease layer and settled solids.
- We clean the baffles, inlet and outlet.
- We close it up, check it drains and suggest when it needs cleaning again.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions

Advice
Keeping the system healthy
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Report slow or smelly sinks early
- Hot water only moves grease further down
- Keep waste oil out of the drains
- Keep access to the trap clear
We take the grease and solids away. There’s no greasy waste left on site when we are done.
Fat that escapes the trap hardens in the pipework. Once it’s there, it needs a drainage contractor to clear so prevention is the easier route.
What grease trap cleaning looks like in Catisfield
There are about 21 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 13 takeaways and sandwich shops within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Catisfield, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Fat from washing up sets hard in pipes, and kitchens like these produce plenty of it. Environmental health officers from Fareham council inspect food businesses in Catisfield. The state of floors, drains and hard-to-reach corners all feeds into the inspection. A cleaning log that includes deep cleans and grease trap visits shows the work is planned.
A summer deep clean suits schools such as Ranvilles Infant School, as the kitchen can be stripped back with no lunches to serve. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Peter or elsewhere in Catisfield, a deep clean and an emptied grease trap before a busy season of events are worth booking.

How the job changes from site to site
Under-sink grease traps
Under-sink traps are compact units fitted below the kitchen sink. They fill quickly, so they need frequent emptying.
Baffles and outlets
The baffles hold back grease while water flows on. They gather grease and debris so they’re cleaned every time.
