Grease trap cleaning in Crowdhill, Hampshire
Grease trap cleaning in Crowdhill from ventilation hygiene specialists trading since 2009. Out-of-hours visits and 24/7 emergency callout.
- A slow-draining kitchen sink

What happens on the day
Protection comes first: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes anything from under an hour to a few hours, depending on the trap, and we clear up before we go. Somewhere as small as Crowdhill, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- We start by finding the trap and checking its inlet and outlet.
- Nothing drains into the trap while it’s open.
- Built-up fat, oil and grease is removed from the trap.
- The inside, baffles and pipe connections are cleaned.
- We put it back together, run water through and remove the waste.
Preparing for the visit
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
How to get a quote
Getting a quote does not take long. Call or email with a few details and you will usually have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.

How the job changes from site to site
Inline grease traps
An inline trap sits in the pipework between the kitchen and the drain. They hold more than under-sink units but still fill up.
Under-sink grease traps
Under-sink traps are cleaned in a short visit and check the seal on the lid.

Your questions about grease trap cleaning in Crowdhill
Do you work in villages like Crowdhill?
Yes, Crowdhill is part of our area, however small the site. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Can you work in Crowdhill outside opening hours?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. That way a site in Crowdhill doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No, not in itself. TR19® is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs check against, and many insurers ask for proof of cleaning to it. The legal duty sits in the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which applies in England and Wales.
Will I get paperwork for my records?
Yes. It’s your proof that the work was done: a written, dated record with pictures of what we did and anything we couldn’t access.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
We record them on the report, with a note of where it is, and we explain what access is needed, for example new access panels.
Which grease traps does the service cover?
We cover under-sink, inline and interceptor units. Each one is emptied, cleaned and checked in the same careful way.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We carry full insurance, and we’ve been trading since 2009.
What problems does a full grease trap cause?
Grease escapes into the drains when the trap is full. There it hardens on the pipe walls and causes blockages. Regular cleaning prevents it.

There are about 10 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 9 takeaways and sandwich shops within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Crowdhill, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. A grease trap in kitchens like these fills steadily and needs emptying before it overflows. It’s Eastleigh council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Crowdhill. Grease behind equipment or on a ceiling is the kind of thing an inspection can note. Photos and dates from each deep clean make a useful record.
For schools such as Wyvern Technology College, deep cleans and grease trap work are typically booked for the holidays. Where a church or community hall near Church of the Holy Trinity, or anywhere in Crowdhill, has a kitchen used by volunteers, a periodic deep clean keeps it ready for the next event.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Why it’s worth doing now in Crowdhill
Pests are drawn to grease and food waste. Keeping the trap clean removes something they’re looking for, alongside good kitchen hygiene. In a small place like Crowdhill, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
You will not find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we will talk you through it.

Do you need grease trap cleaning in Crowdhill?
A full trap cannot hold any more grease. It then builds up in the drains and on towards the sewer, where it can cause blockages.
Look out for any of the following:
- A kitchen drain that smells
- Washing-up water that won’t drain away
- Gurgling from the sink waste
- A larger grease trap that needs emptying
If you run event catering at a historic house or estate in the area (South Stoneham House is about 4.4 miles south-west), a deep clean before or after the busy season is worth planning.
What your quote should include
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
