Commercial kitchens in Conford
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 3 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 4 takeaways in Conford and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. A grease trap in kitchens like these fills steadily and needs emptying before it overflows. It’s East Hampshire council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Conford. The state of floors, drains and hard-to-reach corners all feeds into the inspection. Photos and dates from each deep clean make a useful record.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Chase Community Hospital (about 1.9 miles north-west), cook for long hours, so deep cleans and grease trap work are planned around patients’ meals.

Grease trap cleaning in Conford, done properly
In Conford, we time grease trap visits so the sinks aren’t needed. We empty, clean and check the trap, and the waste is taken away. It works on its own or with a deep clean or extract clean. The work covers school and care home kitchens, kitchen waste pipes and under-sink grease traps, and common reasons people get in touch are foul odours from the grease trap and a regular cleaning plan for the grease trap.
In a village or hamlet like Conford, commercial kitchens are few, perhaps a pub, a school or a care home. Wherever there is one, it needs its grease trap and hard-to-reach areas kept clean.
A written report with photos follows every visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What else we do in Conford
What we are called out for in Conford
Food waste slips past sink strainers or gets rinsed down. It settles in the trap as solids and takes up space.
Look out for any of the following:
- Gurgling drains in the kitchen
- A slow-draining kitchen sink
- A full, neglected grease trap
- Grease setting in the kitchen pipework
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Liphook Infant School or anywhere near Conford, the holidays are the time for a deep clean or a grease trap clean.

Why it’s worth doing now in Conford
A dirty grease trap smells. Rotting food and grease give off foul odours and the smell carries. A clean trap takes the source away. In a small place like Conford, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before work begins.

Multi-site and managed buildings
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Every visit ends with a dated report and pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Questions from Conford
Who inspects food businesses in Conford?
In Conford, it’s East Hampshire council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Keep the dates of your last deep clean and grease trap visit with your food safety records, ready if an officer asks.
Do you work in villages like Conford?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Conford included. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Does the report say when we need you again?
Yes. We put a recommended next date on the report. For kitchen extracts, BESA’s minimum intervals run from every 3 months for heavy use to every 12 months for light use, while fire dampers are tested at least annually.
Do the sinks have to be out of use during the clean?
For the length of the clean, yes. The clean takes an hour or so for an under-sink trap, longer for a larger unit and we book it around your service.
Will I get paperwork for my records?
Yes, always. It’s a dated, written report with photos, plus a certificate via the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal for TR19® Grease cleans. File it with your fire safety records.
What’s the right interval for grease trap cleaning?
The right interval depends on your trap and your cooking. If the sinks start to drain slowly between cleans, it’s too long and we’ll adjust the schedule.
What is TR19?
A BESA specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It is not legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, every time. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that’s where we come in.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
What we do, step by step
We turn up at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool first, and the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes an hour or two in most kitchens, depending on the size and condition of the trap. Somewhere as small as Conford, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- A visit is booked around your service.
- The trap is opened up and checked.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Clear the space around the work
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas

Related advice
What affects the cost of grease trap cleaning
We do not publish a price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Travel, parking and unloading
- What state the system is in
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are unsure, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos for straight advice and a fixed quote.
Asking for a quote
What to send for a quote:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- The site address and the type of premises
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you will normally have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
