Grease Trap Cleaning in Ellisfield
Our technicians work in Ellisfield on emptying and cleaning of under-sink and inline grease traps in commercial kitchens. Out-of-hours visits, a fixed quote and a written report with photos on every job.
- A bad smell from the sinks or drains
- Gurgling from the sink waste
- A grease trap that hasn’t been emptied in a long time
Grease trap cleaning in Ellisfield, done properly
No two traps are quite the same. Under-sink units are small and fill quickly and larger traps hold more grease before they fill. We assess the trap and how fast it fills and suggest an interval that suits. The work covers restaurants and takeaways, kitchen waste pipes and pot wash sinks, and common reasons people get in touch are washing-up water that won’t drain away and a bad smell from the sinks or drains.
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’ve been trading since 2009, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we’re fully insured.

Fixed quotes for grease trap cleaning in Ellisfield
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- The number of sites or systems
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Travel, parking and unloading
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re unsure, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form for straight advice and a fixed quote.
Asking for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:
- A few general shots of the system

- Problems your staff have spotted

For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email 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.
Questions from Ellisfield
Do you work at weekends in Ellisfield?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. It means the site in Ellisfield keeps running as normal. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we will book within them.
Which council inspects kitchens in Ellisfield?
The local authority for Ellisfield is Basingstoke and Deane council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. How often a business is inspected depends on the council’s risk rating for it, so the kitchen needs to be ready at any time.
Where does the waste go?
We contain it and take it with us. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go rather than letting it spread.
What accreditations do you have?
We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Photos often do the job, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
Which grease traps does the service cover?
Both under-sink and inline traps, plus interceptors. A photo helps us see what’s fitted when you phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, we are fully insured. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor, for sites that check contractor safety.
Do you take the waste away?
The fat, oil, grease and solids we remove go with us. It is not poured back down the drain, of course.
The process
Protection comes first: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes an hour or so for an under-sink trap, longer for a larger unit, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. For a village or hamlet like Ellisfield, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- We locate the trap and check how it’s fitted.
- Sinks feeding the trap are taken out of use.
- We empty out the fat, oil, grease and solids.
- We clean every part of the inside.
- The trap is refitted, tested with water and the waste taken away.
How to prepare
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
Ask for a quote
Getting a quote does not take long. Call or email with a few details and you’ll typically have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.

What happens if it’s left?
A blocked drain can stop a kitchen in its tracks. Water won’t drain away, and dirty water can back up. Cleaning the grease trap on time helps prevent it. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
A single site or a whole portfolio, 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 the work involves, part by part
Under-sink grease traps
Under-sink traps are compact units fitted below the kitchen sink. Their small size means they fill fast, so they need frequent emptying.
Baffles and outlets
The outlet carries the separated water on to the drain. A blocked outlet stops the trap working.
Grease trap cleaning around Ellisfield
We cover Ellisfield, about 47 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. Visits are booked around your hours, evenings and weekends included. Environmental health officers from Basingstoke and Deane council inspect food businesses in Ellisfield. Walls, floors, ceilings and equipment are all part of what they look at. A record of each deep clean helps show the kitchen is kept in order.
Hall kitchens near Church of St. Martin or elsewhere in Ellisfield may have older sinks and drains, so a grease trap check is worth adding to a deep clean. If you run a kitchen in an older building near Ellisfield, such as a historic house like Hall Place (about 3.9 miles south), older drains make a working grease trap all the more important.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that is where we come in.
When something else is needed
Before booking, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Plumbing leaks around the sink
- A trap undersized for the amount of cooking
- Collapsed or damaged drains, which need a drainage contractor
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will tell you honestly.

Common problems we fix in Ellisfield
If a trap is not emptied, grease passes straight through. It goes on into the drain and on towards the sewer, where it can form blockages.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- A full, neglected grease trap
- A routine grease trap service
- Drains that gurgle and bubble
- An under-sink unit that needs regular emptying
If you run a care home or healthcare kitchen near Ellisfield (the nearest hospital is Basingstoke and North Hampshire Hospital, about 5.1 miles north), a grease trap on a set schedule avoids a blocked drain mid-service.
