Farleigh Wallop: your questions answered
Do you work overnight in Farleigh Wallop?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. Your customers, staff or residents in Farleigh Wallop needn’t be disturbed. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Farleigh Wallop?
Food hygiene inspections in Farleigh Wallop are carried out by Basingstoke and Deane council. 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.
How much time does a grease trap clean need?
Each trap is a little different, but a clean generally takes less than an hour for many under-sink units. You will know before the visit.
Do you take the waste away?
We remove all the waste we take out. It is not poured back down the drain at any point.
Are you accredited?
We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, it’s the responsible person: often the employer, owner or occupier. In shared or managed buildings, a landlord, facilities manager or managing agent can share the duty.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, every time. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, to suit the system and how it’s used.
Grease trap cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Farleigh Wallop
A neglected grease trap stops doing its job. Further down the pipe, the grease cools and hardens and the result is blocked drains and bad smells. Regular cleaning keeps it working. The work covers restaurants and takeaways, pot wash sinks and under-sink grease traps, and people most often call us about washing-up water that won’t drain away and drains that gurgle and bubble.
Somewhere as small as Farleigh Wallop, the kitchens that need a deep clean are typically a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Wherever there is one, it needs its grease trap and hard-to-reach areas kept clean.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with photos after each visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

When something else is needed
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what grease trap cleaning won’t do:
- Plumbing leaks around the sink
- A trap undersized for the amount of cooking
- Grease deep in the drains, which needs jetting by a drainage contractor
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
What the work covers
- Restaurants and takeaways
- Under-sink grease traps
- School and care home kitchens
- Pot wash sinks
- Inline grease traps
- Kitchen waste pipes
Different parts, different methods
Inline grease traps
An inline trap sits in the pipework between the kitchen and the drain. They hold more than under-sink units but still fill up.
Baffles and outlets
Clean water leaves through the outlet. A blocked outlet stops the trap working.
Why act early in Farleigh Wallop
Wherever the kitchen is in Farleigh Wallop, backed-up drains stop it working. Sinks won’t empty, 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.
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.
Why Farleigh Wallop businesses choose us
- A fixed price before any work starts
- Every visit written up, with pictures
- Ventilation hygiene specialists since 2009
- Work around your opening hours, with 24/7 emergency cover
Aftercare tips
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Wipe grease off pans before washing them
- Avoid pouring boiling water down to shift grease
- Act on gurgling or smelly drains
- Fit sink strainers to catch food scraps
We’ll suggest when the trap should be cleaned again. That depends on how quickly it filled and how busy the kitchen is.
A fixed cleaning interval means the trap never gets overfull. The interval is set to suit the trap and the kitchen.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.

When to call us in Farleigh Wallop
A busy kitchen in Farleigh Wallop, or anywhere else, fills its grease trap faster. A trap that suited a quieter kitchen can struggle when cooking increases.
Most sites get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Foul odours from the grease trap
- A small trap that fills too quickly
- Washing-up water that will not drain away
- A grease trap that hasn’t been emptied in a long time
If you run a kitchen in an older building near Farleigh Wallop, such as a historic house like Hall Place (about 5 miles south-east), older drains make a working grease trap all the more important.
