Hampshire · Grease trap cleaning
Grease trap cleaning in Drayton, Hampshire
Looking for grease trap cleaning in Drayton? We diagnose first, fix the price and book the work around your hours, finishing with a written report and pictures.
- A regular cleaning plan for the grease trap
- Foul odours from the grease trap
- Drains clogged with fat
Looking after it afterwards
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Let us know if the kitchen gets busier
- Get food waste into the bin, not the sink
- Keep strainers in every sink
- Keep the grease trap on a regular cleaning schedule
Collect waste cooking oil separately rather than pouring it down the sink, and the trap will stay cleaner for longer. It’s the single easiest way to help.
If the kitchen has got busier, the trap fills faster. Booking cleans more often keeps the drains flowing.
Grease trap cleaning in Drayton
Fats, oils and grease are the main cause of blocked kitchen drains. Further on, grease can build into fatbergs in the sewer. A well-maintained trap holds them back. If you have a kitchen drain that smells and grease setting in the kitchen pipework, we can help, from school and care home kitchens, under-sink grease traps and restaurants and takeaways onwards.
In rural areas, a kitchen may drain to a private system rather than a public sewer, and fat getting past a grease trap can cause real trouble there.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with photos, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

How the job changes from site to site
Baffles and outlets
Baffles inside the trap slow the water so grease can separate. Grease clings to them, so we clean them.
Inline grease traps
Inline traps often take waste from several sinks or appliances. That means more grease, so regular cleaning matters.
Multi-site and managed buildings
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
What we do, step by step
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, carry out the grease trap cleaning, clear away and hand over the paperwork. On site, the work takes an hour or so for an under-sink trap, longer for a larger unit. Somewhere as small as Drayton, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- We agree a time when the sinks aren’t needed.
- 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.
- The trap is closed, tested and the next clean discussed.
How to prepare
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms

Advice
What a clean will not put right
We won’t sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so here are the limits:
- Leaking pipework or sink wastes, which need a plumber
- Drains that are cracked or have collapsed
- A trap undersized for the amount of cooking
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will say what we think.
Where we work
- Pot wash sinks
- Restaurants and takeaways

Grease trap cleaning in Drayton: local notes
Kitchens in Drayton get their food hygiene inspections from East Hampshire council. The state of floors, drains and hard-to-reach corners all feeds into the inspection. Having the dates of the last deep clean to hand saves digging for them on the day. We cover Drayton, about 54 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you.
School kitchens, at schools like East Meon Church of England Controlled Primary School for example, usually have their deep cleans and grease trap work done while the canteen is closed. If you look after a hall kitchen near Church of All Saints or anywhere in Drayton, a deep clean between busy seasons is easier than a scramble before a big event. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Petersfield Community Hospital about 4.7 miles east, deep cleans and grease trap visits are planned so meals still go out.
Drayton is about 5 miles west of Petersfield, in Hampshire. Anywhere in GU32, we can take on grease trap cleaning. Drayton is one of 683 towns, villages and districts in Hampshire where we work for commercial clients. Portsmouth is in our area too, about 14 miles from Drayton.
We work across GU32 for grease trap cleaning and the roads nearby. We also cover the places around Drayton: West Meon (2 miles west), Privett (3 miles north), Filmore Hill (3 miles north), Bailey Green (3 miles north) and West Tisted (4 miles north). Larger places within reach include Winchester (12 miles west), Gosport (14 miles south), Havant (10 miles south), Eastleigh (13 miles west), Fareham (12 miles south-west) and Horndean (7 miles south).
Local landmarks in Drayton

What affects the quote in Drayton
Every site gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- How big the system is
- What state the system is in
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Site rules, permits and inductions
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re not sure what’s needed, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form for straight advice and a fixed quote.
What we need to know
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Any previous report or certificate
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The site address and the type of premises
To help us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, pictures of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.

Questions from Drayton
Can you work in Drayton outside opening hours?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. That way a site in Drayton does not have to lose a day’s trading. Just call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Can you get to a site in Drayton?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
How often should a grease trap be cleaned?
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 the busier the kitchen, the faster it fills. We’ll recommend a schedule once we’ve seen it.
Can you give me a price for grease trap cleaning?
It depends on the type and size of the trap, its condition and access. Send us details or a photo and we will send you a fixed quote.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No, not in itself. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19® as the benchmark, and many insurance policies ask for proof of TR19® cleaning. The legal duty sits in the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 in England and Wales.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. We fit the work around how the site operates.
Do you clean under-sink and inline grease traps?
Under-sink units, inline traps and interceptors are all covered. Let us know what’s fitted and we’ll plan around it.
How much notice do you need?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
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.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
