Grease trap cleaning in East Cholderton
A clean trap means flowing drains and no foul smells. The fat, oil, grease and solids are taken out and the chambers and baffles cleaned, and check the trap is working properly. If you have a kitchen drain that smells and a slow-draining kitchen sink, we can put it right.
Work in a small place like East Cholderton starts with agreeing a date and access.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Keeping the system healthy
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Don’t wait for a blockage to book a clean
- Scrape plates and pans into the bin before washing up
- Do not store things on top of the trap
- Hot water only moves grease further down
If we spot problems beyond the trap, such as a drain that still runs slowly, we’ll tell you. It may need a drainage specialist to look further.
If the kitchen has got busier, the trap fills faster. Shortening the cleaning interval now keeps the drains flowing.
What the work involves, part by part
Under-sink grease traps
An under-sink trap is out of sight. A full one shows itself with a slow, smelly sink.
Inline grease traps
Inline traps often take waste from several sinks or appliances. More waste means faster filling.
Commercial kitchens in East Cholderton
It’s Test Valley council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in East Cholderton. Grease behind equipment or on a ceiling is the kind of thing an inspection can note. Photos and dates from each deep clean make a useful record.
Healthcare kitchens cook through the year, so a deep clean has to be fitted around meals; Andover War Memorial Hospital, about 3.5 miles east, is the nearest hospital to East Cholderton. A summer deep clean suits schools such as Amport Church of England Primary School, as the kitchen can be stripped back with no lunches to serve. Hall kitchens near Church of St Peter and St Paul or elsewhere in East Cholderton may have older sinks and drains, so a grease trap check is worth adding to a deep clean.

Questions from East Cholderton
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in East Cholderton?
In East Cholderton, it’s Test Valley council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Photos from a deep clean are a simple record of what was done and when.
Can the work in East Cholderton be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The site is handed back ready to open. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Is East Cholderton in your area?
Yes. Our area takes in London and the counties of South East England, and that includes East Cholderton.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we will propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Usually not. Out-of-hours visits keep the disruption down. Bigger sites can be done in stages so parts stay in use.
What do you do with the waste?
The waste leaves with us. You are not left with anything to dispose of after the visit.
Will cleaning the grease trap fix a blocked drain?
We clean the trap, not the drain network. Where the problem is further down the drain, we’ll say so so you can call a drainage contractor.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Duct Doctor is fully insured, and the details are available on request.
Managing agents and facilities teams in East Cholderton
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We are happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so each one has its own record.
Leave it or put it right?
Smells from a neglected trap are hard to ignore. Decomposing waste in the trap smells bad that can reach the kitchen and beyond. Cleaning it removes the cause. A planned visit to East Cholderton is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
You will not find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll explain what it covers.

How it works
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and it goes on the report too. All told, the work takes an hour or two in most kitchens, depending on the size and condition of the trap. Somewhere as small as East Cholderton, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- 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.
- The chambers and baffles are cleaned.
- We refit it, run water through and remove the waste.
Preparing for the visit

- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Clear the space around the work

Advice
How we price grease trap cleaning
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:
- The number of sites or systems
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- How big the system is
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. You will have a fixed price before we start.
Asking for a quote
To speed up the quote, send us:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- The site address and the type of premises
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

What else we do in East Cholderton
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.
