About our grease trap cleaning in Chineham
No two traps are quite the same. Under-sink traps are compact and need frequent attention and larger traps hold more grease before they fill. We look at the trap, how much the kitchen uses it and how quickly it fills and suggest an interval that suits. We are often asked to deal with an under-sink unit that needs regular emptying and drains clogged with fat, across inline grease traps, under-sink grease traps and kitchen waste pipes.
In a place like Chineham, kitchens often sit in older buildings with older drains. Smells and slow drains are the usual warning signs.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with photos after each visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Keeping the system healthy
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Mention any increase in cooking
- Report slow or smelly sinks early
- Get food waste into the bin, not the sink
- Book trap cleans at a set interval
Once the trap is cleaned and refitted, the sinks can be used right away. Water is run through to check everything flows before we leave.
If the sinks are slow or smelly, the trap may be full. Getting it cleaned now can stop a full blockage later.
What your team can do, and what needs us
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 don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Chineham
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Every visit ends with a dated report and photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Questions from Chineham
Do you cover smaller places like Chineham?
Yes. Chineham is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Can the work in Chineham be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The work in Chineham can fit around your hours. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Does the report say when we need you again?
Yes. The interval depends on how much the system is used and what we find and the report sets out why.
Why does a grease trap need regular cleaning?
A full trap cannot catch any more grease. It then sets in the drains, causing blockages and smells, and can add to fatbergs in the sewer.
Which grease traps does the service cover?
Under-sink units, inline traps and interceptors are all covered. Tell us what you have and we will plan the visit.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, fully. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it for clients who vet their contractors.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. For many sites, pictures and a few details are enough, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
What should go in our maintenance log?
Each report and certificate we give you, kept together in your maintenance log with your in-house cleaning records. BESA advises that certificates record the date, location and technician.
How the visit works
We turn up at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool first, and the area around the work is covered and protected. The work itself takes an hour or two in most kitchens, depending on the size and condition of the trap. A site near Chineham typically has room to park, so the questions are about access to the system and your hours.
- A visit is booked around your service.
- We open the trap and look at its condition.
- Built-up grease and food waste are taken out.
- We clean the baffles, inlet and outlet.
- We close it up, check it drains and suggest when it needs cleaning again.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas

Advice
Different parts, different methods
School, care home and staff kitchens
Kitchens that serve set mealtimes fill their traps more steadily. Planned cleaning fits their routine.
Restaurant and takeaway kitchens
Visits are booked when the sinks aren’t in use so the kitchen isn’t disrupted.
When something else is needed
Grease trap cleaning cannot fix everything, and we’ll tell you before any work starts. It will not put right:
- Plumbing leaks around the sink
- Collapsed or damaged drains, which need a drainage contractor
- Blockages in the public sewer beyond the property
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will give you a straight answer.
What the work covers

Wherever they wash pans and plates, fat heads for the drain unless a trap catches it. It’s Basingstoke and Deane council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Chineham.

If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Christ Church Chineham or elsewhere in Chineham, a deep clean and an emptied grease trap before a busy season of events are worth booking. Half-term is a good time for school kitchens, at schools like Four Lanes Community Junior School for instance, to have the grease trap emptied and the kitchen deep cleaned. If you cater for weddings or events at a historic house in the area (The Vyne is about 2 miles north-west), deep cleans can be fitted between bookings.
