Grease trap cleaning in Chandler's Ford, done properly
A grease trap is the kitchen drain’s first line of protection. When it’s looked after, you hardly know it’s there but left too long, it causes trouble. Routine cleaning keeps it in good working order. The work covers pot wash sinks, restaurants and takeaways and kitchen waste pipes, and common reasons people get in touch are sinks that drain slowly and drains that gurgle and bubble.
Kitchens in a town like Chandler's Ford often book a deep clean alongside their extract clean, so the whole kitchen is done in one closure.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Chandler's Ford: your questions answered
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Chandler's Ford?
Kitchens in Chandler's Ford are inspected by Eastleigh council’s environmental health officers. Photos from a deep clean are a simple record of what was done and when.
Can you work in school kitchens in Chandler's Ford during the holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. The FSA’s register shows about 10 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Chandler's Ford. You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with the dates the site is empty.
What about areas you cannot get to?
We record them on the report, with pictures where possible, and we explain what access is needed, for example new access panels.
Are you accredited?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We’ve been trading since 2009 and we’re fully insured.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, and the emergency line covers the rest.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, to suit the system and how it’s used.
How much notice do you need?
Book as early as you can for planned work, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
Will the grease trap clean disrupt the kitchen?
While the trap is being cleaned, nothing can drain into it. We book the visit around your service so the kitchen is not held up.

Part by part
Restaurant and takeaway kitchens
Busy kitchens can’t afford a blocked drain. Keeping the trap clean reduces the risk.
Inline grease traps
An inline trap sits in the pipework between the kitchen and the drain. They’re larger than under-sink traps but still fill up.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Commercial kitchens in Chandler's Ford
Food Standards Agency records include about 14 pubs and bars and about 3 hotels and B&Bs within about 1.5 miles of central Chandler's Ford.

Fixed quotes for grease trap cleaning in Chandler's Ford
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- The condition we find in the survey
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before any work starts.
Asking for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- The postcode and the type of business
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Problems your staff have spotted
For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. We usually come back within one working day.

How the visit works
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and it goes on the report too. All told, the work takes less than an hour for many under-sink units. A few photos of the system and its access points help us plan a visit in Chandler's Ford.
- We start by finding the trap and checking its inlet and outlet.
- We ask for the sinks that drain into the trap not to be used.
- We take out the layer of fat, oil and grease and any solids.
- Every part of the trap is scraped and cleaned, including the baffles.
- We put it back together, run water through and remove the waste.
Before we arrive
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
Ask for a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price, before we start.

Looking after it afterwards
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Report slow or smelly sinks early
- Fit sink strainers to catch food scraps
- Hot water only moves grease further down
- Mention any increase in cooking
Between cleans, keep food scraps out of the sink. Sink strainers help catch solids before they reach the trap.
An overfull trap lets grease pass. Regular emptying keeps it working and avoids a blockage.
