Hampshire · Grease trap cleaning
Grease trap cleaning in Fawley, Hampshire
Grease trap cleaning for businesses, landlords and public buildings in Fawley. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and fully insured.
- An interceptor full of grease and solids
- Drains that gurgle and bubble
- A kitchen drain that smells
What staff can safely do
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is 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. That’s our job.
How we handle grease trap cleaning in Fawley
Think of the grease trap as a filter for the kitchen’s drains. When it’s looked after, you hardly know it’s there, but neglected, it causes blockages and smells. Routine cleaning keeps it in good working order. If you are dealing with sinks that drain slowly and drains that gurgle and bubble, we can put it right.
Somewhere as small as Fawley, 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.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Fawley
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We are happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Commercial kitchens in Fawley
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 4 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 8 takeaways in Fawley and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Each of them sends fat, oil and grease towards the drain, which is why grease traps need regular emptying. In Fawley, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from New Forest council. An inspection covers the structure of the kitchen as well as the food. A record of each deep clean helps show the kitchen is kept in order.
A summer deep clean suits schools such as Fawley Infant 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; Coldeast, about 4.2 miles north-east, is the nearest hospital to Fawley.

Fixed quotes for grease trap cleaning in Fawley
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- Parking and loading at the site
- How big the system is
- The number of sites or systems
- Site rules, permits and inductions
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.

There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use

Leave it or put it right?
In Fawley, as anywhere, grease trap cleaning is a short, routine visit. Waiting for a blockage turns it into an urgent problem and typically at the worst moment. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Fawley rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you are unsure, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos for straight advice and a fixed quote.

Different parts, different methods
Grease interceptors
Interceptors separate grease the same way, on a larger scale. Grease floats and solids sink.
Inline grease traps
Access to an inline trap can be in a floor or cupboard. We check how to reach it before the visit.

Food scraps go down the sink with the washing-up water. It settles in the trap as solids and takes up space.

- Washing-up water that will not drain away
- Scheduled grease trap emptying
Where a church or community hall near Church of All Saints, or anywhere in Fawley, has a kitchen used by volunteers, a periodic deep clean keeps it ready for the next event.

Fawley: your questions answered
Do you work in school kitchens around Fawley out of term?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. There are about 3 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Fawley. Tell us your holiday dates and we’ll book the visit for when the site is empty.
Is Fawley within the area you cover?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Fawley is covered. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
What’s TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It isn’t legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
What do you do with what you remove?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, including grease, debris and dirty water. We don’t leave it behind.
Will the grease trap clean disrupt the kitchen?
Only briefly, and only the sinks that feed the trap. Visits are booked outside your busiest hours where we can.
Can you give me a price for grease trap cleaning?
No two traps are quite the same, so we quote once we know what you have. We give you a fixed price, usually within one working day.
Does the report say when we need you again?
Yes. Every report includes a recommended date for the next visit, based on what we found and how the system is used.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
We never leave them off the paperwork. You’ll know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
What we do, step by step
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes a short visit for a small trap and longer for an inline unit or interceptor. Somewhere as small as Fawley, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- First, we find the trap and look at its connections.
- 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.
- We refit it, run water through and remove the waste.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Clear loose items from the work area
How to get a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price, before any work starts.
