About our grease trap cleaning in Deane

Every trap is different. Under-sink traps are compact and need frequent attention, while inline traps and interceptors hold more. We assess the trap and how fast it fills and suggest an interval that suits. If you are dealing with an interceptor full of grease and solids and a grease trap that hasn’t been emptied in a long time, we can put it right, from under-sink grease traps, inline grease traps and school and care home kitchens onwards.

In a village or hamlet like Deane, commercial kitchens are few, perhaps a pub, a school or a care home. Each still needs the occasional deep clean and its grease trap kept clear.

The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with photos, 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.

How it works

We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. 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. Somewhere like Deane, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.

  1. We agree a time when the sinks aren’t needed.
  2. The trap is opened up and checked.
  3. Built-up grease and food waste are taken out.
  4. The inside, baffles and outlet are cleaned.
  5. We close it up, check it drains and suggest when it needs cleaning again.

Before we arrive

  • Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
  • Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
  • Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids

Common problems we fix in Deane

Hot water and detergent carry grease further than you’d expect. Once it cools, it sets, often in the trap or the pipe beyond.

If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:

  • Drains that gurgle and bubble
  • An inline trap or interceptor due for cleaning
  • An overdue grease trap
  • Foul odours from the grease trap

Hall kitchens near Church of All Saints or elsewhere in Deane may have older sinks and drains, so a grease trap check is worth adding to a deep clean.

Before booking anyone

  • Whether they recommend a next date
  • Whether the quote shows VAT
  • Proof of insurance
  • Whether the quote is based on a survey or pictures

Questions to ask before you book

Staff cleaning versus specialist work

If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.

A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.

Aftercare tips

A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:

  • Tell us when sinks start draining slowly
  • Avoid pouring boiling water down to shift grease
  • Keep strainers in every sink
  • Get food waste into the bin, not the sink

You will get our view on how often the trap needs cleaning. That depends on how quickly it filled and how much the kitchen cooks.

If the kitchen has got busier, the trap fills faster. Booking cleans more often keeps the drains flowing.

Deane questions

Is Deane within the area you cover?

Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Deane included. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.

Which council inspects kitchens in Deane?

Food hygiene inspections in Deane are carried out by Basingstoke and Deane council. Keep the dates of your last deep clean and grease trap visit with your food safety records, ready if an officer asks.

Do you have a 24/7 line?

Yes, 24/7. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, with the emergency line covering every other hour.

Do you deal with blocked drains beyond the grease trap?

A trap clean removes the grease in the trap, and can clear the problem where the trap was the cause. A blockage deeper in the drains needs a drainage specialist.

What’s TR19?

It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping and expects a risk-based approach.

Does the report say when we need you again?

Yes. The report recommends when the next visit should be, based on what we found and how the system is used.

What’s the right interval for grease trap cleaning?

It depends on the size of the trap and how busy the kitchen is. A small trap fills more quickly than a large one, and busy kitchens fill them faster still. We’ll suggest an interval after the first clean.

How much time does a grease trap clean need?

Most grease trap cleans take less than an hour for many under-sink units, including testing. It’s booked when the sinks aren’t needed.

  • Blockages further down the drainage network
  • Plumbing leaks around the sink

If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll say what we think.

Different parts, different methods

Baffles and outlets

The baffles hold back grease while water flows on. Grease clings to them so they’re cleaned every time.

Grease interceptors

An interceptor works on the same principle as a smaller trap. Grease floats and solids sink.
