About our grease trap cleaning in Grateley
Grease trap cleaning keeps the drains running and the smells away. We empty the built-up grease and food solids, clean the inside and the baffles, and check the trap is working properly. The work covers inline grease traps, kitchen waste pipes and under-sink grease traps, and people most often call us about grease setting in the kitchen pipework and washing-up water that won’t drain away.
For a kitchen in or near Grateley, the visit is planned ahead, around opening times and the journey, and the deep clean is the same as anywhere: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

Aftercare tips
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Keep access to the trap clear
- Use strainers in the sink plugholes
- Report slow or smelly sinks early
- Mention any increase in cooking
Once the trap is cleaned and refitted, the sinks can be used right away. We run water through to check it drains before we go.
Slow sinks and a bad smell are early warnings. Getting it cleaned now can stop a full blockage down the line.
What affects the cost of grease trap cleaning
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We consider:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- How big the system is
- How easy every part is to reach
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. You will have a fixed price before we start.
Asking for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:
- Any previous report or certificate
- The site address and the type of premises
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles

How the visit works
The visit has three parts: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, while signing off means the written report and photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, and that takes a short visit for a small trap and longer for an inline unit or interceptor. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Grateley and turn up when the site is quiet.
- A visit is booked around your service.
- The trap is opened up and checked.
- We remove the grease layer and settled solids.
- We clean the baffles, inlet and outlet.
- The trap is closed, tested and the next clean discussed.
How to prepare
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Move anything stored near the system
Get a fixed quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

What staff can safely do
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Grateley: your questions answered
Who inspects food businesses in Grateley?
Food hygiene inspections in Grateley are carried out by Test Valley council. An officer may look behind equipment and at drains, so it pays to have the deep clean booked before those areas build up.
Can you come to Grateley after we close?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. It means the site in Grateley keeps running as normal. When you phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, mention when the site is quiet.
How much notice do you need?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, 24/7. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
Do you cover Grateley?
Yes. We cover Grateley and across Hampshire, within our South East and London area. To book, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
How much does grease trap cleaning cost?
We price it once we know the trap and how often it needs cleaning. Get in touch and we will give you a fixed quote so you know the cost up front.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
That depends on who controls the premises. The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty on the responsible person, which can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, an FM or a managing agent.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, always. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it and the fixed quote is built on it.
What a clean will not put right
Not every problem is solved by grease trap cleaning, and we’ll tell you before any work starts. It does not solve:
- Blockages further down the drainage network
- Collapsed or damaged drains, which need a drainage contractor
- A trap undersized for the amount of cooking
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Where we work
- Under-sink grease traps
- Inline grease traps
- Kitchen waste pipes
- School and care home kitchens

Grateley kitchens: local notes
It’s Test Valley council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Grateley. Grease behind equipment or on a ceiling is the kind of thing an inspection can note. Having the dates of the last deep clean to hand saves digging for them on the day.
For schools such as Grateley Primary School, deep cleans and grease trap work are typically booked for the holidays. Hall kitchens near Church of St Leonard or elsewhere in Grateley may have older sinks and drains, so a grease trap check is worth adding to a deep clean. Andover War Memorial Hospital, about 5.4 miles north-east, is the nearest hospital to Grateley; healthcare kitchens can’t stop cooking, so deep cleans are worked around meal times.

Inline traps may be under a floor panel or in a cupboard. We ask about access when we quote.
Baffles and outlets
Baffles inside the trap slow the water so grease can separate. Grease clings to them, so we clean them.
