Grease trap cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Fleet
We clean grease traps for kitchens in Fleet, whether it’s an under-sink unit or a larger inline trap. Visits are booked around your service, so the kitchen keeps running. Common call-outs are for drains that gurgle and bubble and an overdue grease trap, across restaurants and takeaways, school and care home kitchens and under-sink grease traps.
Around a town like Fleet, the kitchens we deep clean tend to be pubs, restaurants, takeaways and school or care home kitchens. Each builds up grease where the daily clean cannot reach.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

What affects the quote in Fleet
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The number of sites or systems
- Any permits to work or inductions
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.
What to send for a quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
What happens if it’s left?
A blocked drain can stop a kitchen in its tracks. Sinks won’t empty, and dirty water can back up. Keeping the trap clean reduces the risk. An inspector or insurer will want to see recent records, so it makes sense to have them ready.
We don’t list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or email us, and we’ll explain what it covers.

Part by part
Grease interceptors
Grease interceptors are larger units that serve busier kitchens. With more capacity, they fill more slowly but they still need cleaning.
Inline grease traps
Inline traps may be under a floor panel or in a cupboard. We ask about access when we quote.
Fleet: your questions answered
Can you work in school kitchens in Fleet during the holidays?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. Around Fleet, the Food Standards Agency lists about 8 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Do you work at weekends in Fleet?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. Your customers, staff or residents in Fleet needn’t be disturbed. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Will I get paperwork for my records?
Yes. Every visit ends with a written report and pictures, covering the work, any areas we couldn’t access and the recommended next date. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, there’s also a certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
What’s the right interval for grease trap cleaning?
That depends on the trap and the kitchen. Small under-sink units fill faster than larger traps and the busier the kitchen, the faster it fills. We will suggest an interval after the first clean.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
Not in itself. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19® as the benchmark, and many insurers ask for proof of cleaning to it. The legal duty sits in the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which applies in England and Wales.
What do you do with what you remove?
We take it away when we go. During the work, it’s contained to keep the area clean.
Who is the responsible person?
In the words of the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person. That’s generally the employer or the person in control of the premises, and in shared buildings more than one person can have duties. Your lease and fire risk assessment should make it clear.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. Work is timed around how each site runs.
Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- Leaking pipework or sink wastes, which need a plumber
- A grease trap that’s too small for the kitchen
- Drains that are cracked or have collapsed
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will give you a straight answer.
What the work covers
- School and care home kitchens

What else we do in Fleet
What we are called out for in Fleet
Waste cooking oil poured down the sink overloads the trap fast. Small amounts soon build up.
Look out for any of the following:
- An interceptor full of grease and solids
- A bad smell from the sinks or drains
- Washing-up water that will not drain away
- Gurgling from the sink waste
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Fleet Community Hospital (about 1 mile north-west), cook for long hours, so deep cleans and grease trap work are planned around patients’ meals.

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, they should report it rather than try to fix it. 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. Leave those to us.
Grease trap cleaning in Fleet: local notes
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 16 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 5 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Fleet. Wherever food is prepared there, a periodic deep clean and a clear grease trap keep things in order. In Fleet, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Hart council. The state of floors, drains and hard-to-reach corners all feeds into the inspection. A record of each deep clean helps show the kitchen is kept in order.
If you run event catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Farnham Castle is about 4.1 miles south), a deep clean before or after the busy season is worth planning. Hall and church kitchens, near Fleet Methodist Church or anywhere around Fleet, are used by many hands, and periodic deep cleans and grease trap visits keep them in order.

What happens on the day

Photos taken on a phone are typically enough for us to plan a job in Fleet and give a fixed quote.

- The sinks feeding the trap are kept out of use while we work.
- Built-up fat, oil and grease is removed from the trap.
