Grease trap cleaning in Elvetham Heath, done properly
Grease traps sit between the sinks and the drain, holding back fats, oils and grease. Cooling water lets the grease rise and separate while the water carries on to the drain. Over time, the trap fills up and needs emptying and cleaning. If you have a regular cleaning plan for the grease trap and an under-sink trap that keeps filling up, we can help, from under-sink grease traps, restaurants and takeaways and pot wash sinks onwards.
In a smaller place like Elvetham Heath, commercial kitchens are more likely to be a pub, a café, a takeaway or a school or care home kitchen. Smaller kitchens still collect grease behind equipment and in the drains.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That is why every job is written up in a report with photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

What else we do in Elvetham Heath
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
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.
What happens on the day
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. The visit takes an hour or two in most kitchens, depending on the size and condition of the trap. Because the survey comes first, a visit to Elvetham Heath can typically be finished without a second trip.
- We find the trap and check how it’s connected.
- The sinks feeding the trap are kept out of use while we work.
- The trap is emptied of grease and food waste.
- Every part of the trap is scraped and cleaned, including the baffles.
- We put it back together, run water through and remove the waste.
How to prepare
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
