Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. That’s our job.
Grease trap cleaning in Goodworth Clatford, done properly
A grease trap is the kitchen drain’s first line of protection. Kept clean, it does its job quietly but left too long, it causes trouble. A regular clean keeps it healthy. If you are dealing with an under-sink unit that needs regular emptying and drains clogged with fat, we can put it right, from pot wash sinks, school and care home kitchens and under-sink grease traps onwards.
Rural kitchens may drain to a septic tank or a private drain rather than straight into a public sewer, so keeping fat out with a working grease trap matters even more.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

Different parts, different methods
Baffles and outlets
The baffles hold back grease while water flows on. Grease clings to them, so we clean them.
Inline grease traps
Access to an inline trap can be in a floor or cupboard. We ask about access when we quote.

Common questions in Goodworth Clatford
Who inspects food businesses in Goodworth Clatford?
The local authority for Goodworth Clatford is Test Valley council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. Keep the dates of your last deep clean and grease trap visit with your food safety records, ready if an officer asks.
Do you work at weekends in Goodworth Clatford?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. Your customers, staff or residents in Goodworth Clatford needn’t be disturbed. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we will suggest a schedule and quote for it.
How much notice should we give?
The more notice, the better, especially for out-of-hours work. We typically quote within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
Can you clear our blocked drains as well?
That depends on the cause. A full trap is a common cause, and cleaning it can help but grease set further down the drains needs jetting by a drainage specialist.
How do you protect the area?
We start with protection: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
Why does a grease trap need regular cleaning?
An overfull trap stops separating grease. The result is slow drains, foul odours and eventually a blockage.

What grease trap cleaning looks like in Goodworth Clatford
Kitchens in Goodworth Clatford get their food hygiene inspections from Test Valley council. An inspection covers the structure of the kitchen as well as the food. Keeping a record of deep cleans and grease trap visits helps at inspection time.
For schools such as Clatford Church of England Primary School, deep cleans and grease trap work are normally booked for the holidays. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Andover War Memorial Hospital (about 2.7 miles north), cook for long hours, so deep cleans and grease trap work are planned around patients’ meals. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Peter or elsewhere in Goodworth Clatford, a deep clean and an emptied grease trap before a busy season of events are worth booking.

How it works
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. On site, the work takes a short visit for a small trap and longer for an inline unit or interceptor. Visits to a village like Goodworth Clatford are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- We start by finding the trap and checking its inlet and outlet.
- The sinks feeding the trap are kept out of use while we work.
- We take out the layer of fat, oil and grease and any solids.
- The inside, baffles and pipe connections are cleaned.
- Once it’s refitted, water is run through to check it drains, and we take the waste with us.
How to prepare
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
How to get a quote
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Related advice
Keeping the system healthy
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Wipe grease off pans before washing them
- Make sure the trap can be reached easily
- Don’t wait for a blockage to book a clean
- Let us know if the kitchen gets busier
Anything we notice beyond the trap, like a slow drain downstream, is pointed out. It may need a drainage specialist to look further.
Slow sinks and a bad smell are early warnings. Acting at this stage usually prevents a blockage later.
