- An interceptor full of grease and solids
The process
Night work is normal for us. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so the site can open as normal afterwards. On site, the work takes less than an hour for many under-sink units. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Durford Wood, let us know and we’ll plan around it.
- We find the trap and check how it’s connected.
- Nothing drains into the trap while it’s open.
- We take out the layer of fat, oil and grease and any solids.
- We clean the chambers, baffles and connections.
- Once it’s refitted, water is run through to check it drains, and we take the waste with us.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Move anything stored near the system

Advice
About our grease trap cleaning in Durford Wood
A neglected grease trap stops doing its job. Fat sets in the pipes downstream, leading to slow drains, blockages and smells. A trap that is cleaned regularly keeps grease where it belongs. Common call-outs are for gurgling drains in the kitchen and grease setting in the kitchen pipework, on school and care home kitchens, restaurants and takeaways and under-sink grease traps.
Work in a small place like Durford Wood starts with agreeing a date and access, and the deep clean is the same as anywhere: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with pictures after each visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

What grease trap cleaning cannot fix
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so here are the limits:

- Grease deep in the drains, which needs jetting by a drainage contractor
- A grease trap that is too small for the kitchen

Keeping the system healthy
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Book trap cleans at a set interval
- Collect waste cooking oil separately
- Make sure the trap can be reached easily
- Use strainers in the sink plugholes
Scrape plates into the bin before washing up. Sink strainers help catch solids so less solid waste gets through.
If the sinks are slow or smelly, the trap may be full. Getting it cleaned now can stop a full blockage down the line.
Different parts, different methods
Inline grease traps
Inline traps often take waste from several sinks or appliances. That means more grease, so regular cleaning matters.
School, care home and staff kitchens
Kitchens with fixed mealtimes build up grease more predictably. Planned cleaning fits their routine.
What grease trap cleaning looks like in Durford Wood
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 4 pubs, bars and clubs within about 1.5 miles of central Durford Wood. Wherever they cook, the kitchen and its drains need the same attention as a restaurant’s. It’s East Hampshire council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Durford Wood. The state of floors, drains and hard-to-reach corners all feeds into the inspection. A record of each deep clean helps show the kitchen is kept in order.
For schools such as Liss Infant School, deep cleans and grease trap work are typically booked for the holidays. If you run a care home or healthcare kitchen near Durford Wood (the nearest hospital is Petersfield Community Hospital, about 2.8 miles south-west), a grease trap on a set schedule avoids a blocked drain mid-service.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
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, which is where we come in.
What we are called out for in Durford Wood
Fats, oils and grease from cooking and washing up go down the sink. They cool and float to the top of the trap and the grease layer grows.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- Gurgling drains in the kitchen
- A routine grease trap service
- An inline trap or interceptor due for cleaning
- A kitchen drain that smells
Where a church or community hall near Church of St Mary, or anywhere in Durford Wood, has a kitchen used by volunteers, a periodic deep clean keeps it ready for the next event.
