Elvetham: your questions answered
Can a school kitchen in Elvetham be done out of term time?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. Around Elvetham, the Food Standards Agency lists about 8 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with the dates the site is empty.
Do you cover smaller places like Elvetham?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Elvetham included. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
What types of grease trap do you clean?
Both under-sink and inline traps, plus interceptors. If you’re not sure what you have, send us a photo when you call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and you’ll get one fixed quote.
Where does the grease from the trap go?
We take it away. Your staff don’t have to handle it once the clean is done.
What paperwork should we keep on file?
The reports and certificates from each visit, plus your own logs. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs may all ask to see them, so keep them together and easy to find.
How often should a grease trap be cleaned?
It depends on the size of the trap and how busy the kitchen is. A small trap fills more quickly than a large one and the busier the kitchen, the faster it fills. We will recommend a schedule once we have seen it.
Do you deal with blocked drains beyond the grease trap?
Cleaning the trap deals with the grease it holds, and can clear the problem where the trap was the cause. A blockage deeper in the drains needs a drainage specialist.
About our grease trap cleaning in Elvetham
Grease trap cleaning keeps the drains running and the smells away. We empty the built-up grease and food solids and the chambers and baffles cleaned, and check the trap is working properly. The work covers pot wash sinks, inline grease traps and kitchen waste pipes, and people most often call us about scheduled grease trap emptying and drains clogged with fat.
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.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

How the job changes from site to site
Restaurant and takeaway kitchens
Kitchens that fry and wash up all day fill their traps quickly. They often need the most frequent cleaning.
Grease interceptors
Interceptors take longer to clean and we plan the visit accordingly.
Elvetham kitchens: local notes
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 3 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Elvetham. Pub and hotel kitchens get the same build-up behind equipment and in the grease trap as any other. Food hygiene inspections in Elvetham are the job of Hart council’s environmental health team. An inspection covers the structure of the kitchen as well as the food. A cleaning log that includes deep cleans and grease trap visits shows the work is planned.
Hall and church kitchens, near Church of St Mary at Elvetham Hall or anywhere around Elvetham, are used by many hands, and periodic deep cleans and grease trap visits keep them in order. A summer deep clean suits schools such as Elvetham Heath Primary School, as the kitchen can be stripped back with no lunches to serve. Healthcare kitchens cook through the year, so a deep clean has to be fitted around meals; Fleet Community Hospital, about 1.2 miles south-east, is the nearest hospital to Elvetham.

When something else is needed
We won’t sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- A trap undersized for the amount of cooking
- Drains that need jetting rather than trap cleaning
- Blockages further down the drainage network
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we work on in Elvetham
- Restaurants and takeaways
- School and care home kitchens
- Inline grease traps
- Under-sink grease traps
- Kitchen waste pipes
- Pot wash sinks
Between visits
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Collect waste cooking oil separately
- Do not wait for a blockage to book a clean
- Tell us if your menu or hours change
- Hot water only moves grease further down
The sinks are ready to use as soon as we’ve finished. We run water through to check it drains before we go.
If the kitchen has got busier, the trap fills faster. Shortening the cleaning interval now keeps the drains flowing.
