Grease trap cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Gosport
Fats, oils and grease are the main cause of blocked kitchen drains. Further on, grease can build into fatbergs in the sewer. A grease trap that’s emptied and cleaned regularly keeps them out of the drains. If you have an under-sink trap that keeps filling up and a larger grease trap that needs emptying, we can put it right, from pot wash sinks, inline grease traps and kitchen waste pipes onwards.
Somewhere as small as Gosport, 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.
We’ve been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

What we do, step by step
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and the rest is down to us. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. A few pictures of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Gosport.
- A visit is booked around your service.
- The trap is opened up and checked.
- We remove the grease layer and settled solids.
- The inside, baffles and outlet are cleaned.
- The trap is closed, tested and the next clean discussed.
How to prepare
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
Ask for a quote
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Send a few details and photos, and we normally reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.

How we price grease trap cleaning
You will get a fixed price before any work starts. It’s based on:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- How big the system is
- How easy every part is to reach
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before work begins.
What to send for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The postcode and the type of business
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, photos of the system and any previous report or certificate. Then call 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Part by part
Inline grease traps
Access to an inline trap can be in a floor or cupboard. We check how to reach it before the visit.
Grease interceptors
An interceptor works on the same principle as a smaller trap. Grease floats and solids sink.

Signs you need grease trap cleaning in Gosport
In Gosport, as everywhere, grease traps are easy to forget. Hidden under a sink or in a floor it’s often left until there’s a problem.
Clients normally contact us after spotting one of these:
- Sinks that drain slowly
- A bad smell from the sinks or drains
- An overdue grease trap
- An inline trap or interceptor due for cleaning
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Romsey Community Hospital about 2.2 miles west, deep cleans and grease trap visits are planned so meals still go out.
Before booking anyone
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- Whether a written report and pictures are included
- How VAT is shown on the quote
Aftercare tips
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Let us know if the kitchen gets busier
- Keep access to the trap clear
- Keep waste oil out of the drains
- Scrape plates and pans into the bin before washing up
Anything we notice beyond the trap, like a slow drain downstream, is pointed out. That may need a drainage contractor to investigate.
An overfull trap lets grease pass. Cleaning it before it’s full keeps grease out of the drains and saves a call-out for a blocked drain.
What staff can safely do
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Common questions in Gosport
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Gosport?
Kitchens in Gosport are inspected by Test Valley council’s environmental health officers. Photos from a deep clean are a simple record of what was done and when.
Do you cover smaller places like Gosport?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, set at the interval the system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line and we’ll talk you through the next steps.
What should go in our maintenance log?
Every certificate and report from each visit, kept together in your maintenance log with your in-house cleaning records. BESA advises that certificates record the date, location and technician.
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 much does grease trap cleaning cost?
Every trap is different, so we price each one individually. You get a fixed quote, usually within one working day.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. The work is kept contained and clean down when we finish.
Gosport kitchens: local notes
Look up Gosport on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 3 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 5 sandwich bars and takeaways within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Gosport. Kitchens like these wash fat, oil and grease down the sink every day, and a grease trap is what stops it reaching the sewer. It’s Test Valley council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Gosport. An inspection covers the structure of the kitchen as well as the food. Photos and dates from each deep clean make a useful record.
Hall and church kitchens, near Church of St Mark or anywhere around Gosport, are used by many hands, and periodic deep cleans and grease trap visits keep them in order. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Ampfield Church of England Primary School or anywhere near Gosport, the holidays are the time for a deep clean or a grease trap clean.
