Common questions in Droxford
Can you get to a site in Droxford?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you come to Droxford after we close?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The work in Droxford can fit around your hours. Just ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we’ll propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
What problems does a full grease trap cause?
Grease and food waste build up until the trap stops working. The result is slow drains, foul odours and eventually a blockage.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No. TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. The legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005: the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19® is the recognised way to show grease is under control.
How much notice should we give?
Earlier is better, particularly for night and weekend visits. We normally quote within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
What’s the right interval for grease trap cleaning?
It varies with the trap and the kitchen. Slow or smelly sinks between cleans mean it needs doing more often and we will adjust the schedule.
Can you give me a price for grease trap cleaning?
The price depends on the trap and the schedule. Just ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll quote so you know the cost up front.
Grease trap cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Droxford
We clean grease traps for kitchens in Droxford, from small under-sink units to inline traps and interceptors. Visits are booked around your service so washing up is not interrupted. If you are dealing with a small trap that fills too quickly and grease setting in the kitchen pipework, we can put it right, from school and care home kitchens, restaurants and takeaways and pot wash sinks onwards.
In rural areas, a kitchen may drain to a private system rather than a public sewer, so keeping fat out with a working grease trap matters even more.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with photos of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Related advice
Signs you need grease trap cleaning in Droxford
Hot washing-up water keeps grease liquid for a while. When it cools, the grease hardens, often in the trap or the pipe beyond.
Look out for these warning signs:
- An inline trap or interceptor due for cleaning
- Sinks that drain slowly
- A regular cleaning plan for the grease trap
- A bad smell from the sinks or drains
A summer deep clean suits schools such as Droxford Junior School, as the kitchen can be stripped back with no lunches to serve.
What your quote should include
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- When the next visit should be, and why
- Whether a written report and pictures are included
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
Fixed quotes for grease trap cleaning in Droxford
Every site gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Where the site is and how we reach it
What you pay depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.
What we need to know
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Any previous report or certificate
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
If you need grease trap cleaning in Droxford, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email. Let us know the site type and the opening hours, plus pictures or the previous report if they’re to hand. We normally send a fixed quote within one working day.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
What the work involves, part by part
Grease interceptors
A larger unit takes more time to empty and clean and we plan the visit accordingly.
School, care home and staff kitchens
Kitchens that serve set mealtimes fill their traps more steadily. A regular interval suits them well.
Grease trap cleaning in Droxford: local notes
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 3 pubs, bars and clubs within about 1.5 miles of central Droxford. Any of them serving food has a kitchen that collects grease out of sight and drains that need protecting. Kitchens in Droxford get their food hygiene inspections from Winchester City council. An inspection covers the structure of the kitchen as well as the food. Photos and dates from each deep clean make a useful record.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Mary and All Saints or elsewhere in Droxford, a deep clean and an emptied grease trap before a busy season of events are worth booking.

Looking after it afterwards
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Let us know if the kitchen gets busier
- Keep the grease trap on a regular cleaning schedule
- Collect waste cooking oil separately
- Fit sink strainers to catch food scraps
We take the grease and solids away. Nothing is left for you to dispose of after the visit.
If the kitchen has got busier, the trap fills faster. Booking cleans more often keeps the drains flowing.
