- An inline trap or interceptor due for cleaning
How we handle grease trap cleaning in Durley
Kitchens in Durley use us for grease trap cleaning, from small under-sink units to inline traps and interceptors. We come when the sinks aren’t needed so washing up isn’t interrupted. Common call-outs are for grease setting in the kitchen pipework and gurgling from the sink waste, across under-sink grease traps, kitchen waste pipes and inline grease traps.
Rural kitchens may drain to a septic tank or a private drain rather than straight into a public sewer, so keeping fat out with a working grease trap matters even more.
Good records are part of the job. 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.

What a clean will not put right
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Blockages further down the drainage network
- A unit that cannot cope with the kitchen’s output
- Drains that need jetting rather than trap cleaning
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll say what we think.

What affects the cost of grease trap cleaning
The survey tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Travel, parking and unloading
- A single visit or a regular plan
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re unsure, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
Asking for a quote
We can often survey from pictures. Try to include:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Any previous report or certificate
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it

Why act early in Durley
A full grease trap lets grease through to the drains. There it sets and narrows the pipe until water cannot get through. Regular trap cleaning beats dealing with a blockage. Somewhere as small as Durley, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered and we will price it together.
Why book with us
- Full insurance on every job

Durley questions
Do you work overnight in Durley?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. That way a site in Durley doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we’ll book within them.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Durley?
That’s Winchester City council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Durley. Inspection results feed into the food hygiene rating published by the Food Standards Agency.
Why does a grease trap need regular cleaning?
Once it’s full, grease passes straight through. The grease hardens in the pipes, leading to blocked drains and smells, and can add to fatbergs in the sewer.
What types of grease trap do you clean?
We cover under-sink, inline and interceptor units. They’re emptied, cleaned and checked whatever the size.
What does a grease trap clean cost?
Every trap is different, so we quote once we know what you have. You get a fixed quote, normally within one working day.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not typically. We work when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends, so you keep your normal hours.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
Do you deal with blocked drains beyond the grease trap?
It depends where the blockage is. If the trap is full, cleaning it often helps, but blockages further along need a drainage contractor.
What grease trap cleaning looks like in Durley
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 6 pubs and bars within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Durley. Wherever food is prepared there, a periodic deep clean and a clear grease trap keep things in order. It’s Winchester City council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Durley. An inspection covers the structure of the kitchen as well as the food. Having the dates of the last deep clean to hand saves digging for them on the day.
Half-term is a good time for school kitchens, at schools like Durley Church of England Controlled Primary School for instance, to have the grease trap emptied and the kitchen deep cleaned. If you cater for weddings or events at a historic house in the area (South Stoneham House is about 5 miles west), deep cleans can be fitted between bookings.

Between visits
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Hot water only moves grease further down
- Keep strainers in every sink
- Scrape plates and pans into the bin before washing up
- Book trap cleans at a set interval
Anything we notice beyond the trap, like a slow drain downstream, is pointed out. That may need a drainage contractor to look further.
An overfull trap lets grease pass. Regular emptying keeps it working and saves a call-out for a blocked drain.
What happens on the day
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. The visit takes anything from under an hour to a few hours, depending on the trap. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Durley and turn up when the site is quiet.
- First, we find the trap and look at its connections.
- Sinks feeding the trap are taken out of use.
- Grease and solids are removed from the trap.
- We clean every part of the inside.
- The trap is refitted, tested with water and the waste taken away.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Move anything stored near the system
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
Ask for a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before any work starts.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Keep a record of what your team does. 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. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
