How we handle grease trap cleaning in Greatham
A grease trap catches fats, oils and grease from the kitchen sinks before they reach the drain. As the waste water cools, the grease floats and stays in the trap, and clean water flows on. Over time, the trap fills up and needs emptying and cleaning. Typical jobs include a grease trap that hasn’t been emptied in a long time and an inline trap or interceptor due for cleaning, on kitchen waste pipes, under-sink grease traps and inline grease traps.
In rural areas, a kitchen may drain to a private system rather than a public sewer, so keeping fat out with a working grease trap matters even more.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

What affects the cost of grease trap cleaning
You’ll get a fixed price before we start. It’s based on:
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The size of the system
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.
Asking for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Send what you can of the following:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
Commercial kitchens in Greatham
We cover Greatham, about 45 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. Visits are booked around your hours, evenings and weekends included. Kitchens in Greatham get their food hygiene inspections from East Hampshire council. They look at the cleanliness of the whole kitchen: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment. Keeping a record of deep cleans and grease trap visits helps at inspection time.
School kitchens, at schools like Greatham Primary School for example, usually have their deep cleans and grease trap work done while the canteen is closed. If you run a care home or healthcare kitchen near Greatham (the nearest hospital is Chase Community Hospital, about 2.5 miles north-east), a grease trap on a set schedule avoids a blocked drain mid-service.

Different parts, different methods
Inline grease traps
Several sinks may drain into one inline trap. That means more grease, so regular cleaning matters.
Grease interceptors
Interceptors take longer to clean and we plan the visit accordingly.
How it works
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes anything from under an hour to a few hours, depending on the trap, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. A few photos of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Greatham.
- We locate the trap and check how it’s fitted.
- Sinks feeding the trap are taken out of use.
- Grease and solids are removed from the trap.
- We clean every part of the inside.
- We refit it, run water through and remove the waste.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
Getting a quote
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you’ll usually have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.

What we’re called out for in Greatham
For a kitchen in Greatham or anywhere else, the trap is out of sight and out of mind. Tucked away under the sink or below the floor it’s often left until there’s a problem.
These are the problems we see most often:
- An interceptor full of grease and solids
- A routine grease trap service
- Foul odours from the grease trap
- An overdue grease trap
If you look after a hall kitchen near Church of St John the Baptist or anywhere in Greatham, a deep clean between busy seasons is easier than a scramble before a big event.

FAQs for Greatham
Is Greatham within the area you cover?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Greatham included. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Greatham?
The local authority for Greatham is East Hampshire council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. Inspection results feed into the food hygiene rating published by the Food Standards Agency.
Do you provide a certificate or report?
Yes. You get a written report with pictures after each visit, showing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, there’s also a certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site across London and the South East, with visits on a regular schedule.
How long does a grease trap clean take?
The size and state of the trap make the difference, and you can expect it to take less than an hour for many under-sink units. We’ll confirm when we quote.
Do the sinks have to be out of use during the clean?
While we work, those sinks are out of use. The clean takes an hour or two in most kitchens, depending on the size and condition of the trap and we book it around your service.
Which grease traps does the service cover?
Under-sink units, inline traps and interceptors are all covered. Tell us what you have and we’ll plan around it.
Where does the waste go?
It leaves the site with us at the end of the visit. During the work, it’s contained so the area stays clean.
Why act early in Greatham
A blocked drain can stop a kitchen in its tracks. Water won’t drain away, and dirty water can back up. Keeping the trap clean reduces the risk. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
No two sites are the same, 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.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
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.
