Grease trap cleaning around Easton
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 5 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens in Easton and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. A grease trap in kitchens like these fills steadily and needs emptying before it overflows. At about 58 miles from central London, Easton sits well inside the area we cover. Visits are booked around your hours, evenings and weekends included. Food hygiene inspections in Easton are the job of Winchester City council’s environmental health team. Grease behind equipment or on a ceiling is the kind of thing an inspection can note. 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 Peter Symonds College for instance, to have the grease trap emptied and the kitchen deep cleaned. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like St John's Rooms And Chapel about 2.3 miles south-west, deep cleans and grease trap visits are planned so meals still go out.

About our grease trap cleaning in Easton
A neglected grease trap stops doing its job. Fat sets in the pipes downstream, leading to slow drains, blockages and smells. A trap that’s cleaned regularly keeps grease where it belongs. If you’re dealing with gurgling drains in the kitchen and a slow-draining kitchen sink, we can help, from kitchen waste pipes, school and care home kitchens and inline grease traps 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.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

Your questions about grease trap cleaning in Easton
Will you come out to Easton?
Yes, Easton is part of our area, however small the site. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Which environmental health team covers Easton?
That is Winchester City council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Easton. An officer may look behind equipment and at drains, so it pays to have the deep clean booked before those areas build up.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so we can schedule a run of sites as one programme. Each site gets its own report and pictures.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a single café to a large school. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
How long does a grease trap clean take?
The size and state of the trap make the difference, but a clean generally takes less than an hour for many under-sink units. We will confirm when we quote.
Where does the waste go?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. None of it is left on site.
Do the sinks have to be out of use during the clean?
While we work, those sinks are out of use. It takes a short visit for a small trap and longer for an inline unit or interceptor and we book it around your service.
Can you clear our blocked drains as well?
A trap clean removes the grease in the trap, and can clear the problem where the trap was the cause. A blockage deeper in the drains needs a drainage specialist.
Common problems we fix in Easton
Food waste slips past sink strainers or gets rinsed down. It settles in the trap as solids and fill it from below.
What we’re most often called out for:
- A kitchen drain that smells
- An interceptor full of grease and solids
- Sinks that drain slowly
- Drains clogged with fat
Hall and church kitchens, near Church of St Mary or anywhere around Easton, are used by many hands, and periodic deep cleans and grease trap visits keep them in order.
Questions to ask before you book
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- What records you’ll receive afterwards
- Whether they’re fully insured
What grease trap cleaning cannot fix
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so here are the limits:
- Blockages further down the drainage network
- A trap undersized for the amount of cooking
- Grease set hard in the drain run
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What the work covers
- School and care home kitchens
- Kitchen waste pipes
- Pot wash sinks
- Inline grease traps
- Under-sink grease traps
- Restaurants and takeaways
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
How it works
Everything the job needs comes with us, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. On site, the work takes anything from under an hour to a few hours, depending on the trap. Seeing the system in photos first means the trip to Easton can be planned properly.
- We start by finding the trap and checking its inlet and outlet.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
Getting a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

What affects the quote in Easton
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- The times the site is available
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- What state the system is in
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before we start.
What to send for a quote
Many jobs can be priced from pictures and some basics. Useful things to send:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
To get a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We typically come back within one working day.
Looking after it afterwards
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Keep strainers in every sink
- Make sure the trap can be reached easily
- Don’t rely on hot water to clear grease
- Mention any increase in cooking
Anything we notice beyond the trap, like a slow drain downstream, is pointed out. That may need a drainage contractor to look further.
A trap that’s left too long stops catching grease. Cleaning it before it’s full keeps grease out of the drains and saves a call-out for a blocked drain.

Grease interceptors
Interceptors take longer to clean and we plan the visit accordingly.
Inline grease traps
Inline traps may be under a floor panel or in a cupboard. We check how to reach it before the visit.
