Grease trap cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Hannington
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 while the water carries on to the drain. Over time, the trap fills up and needs emptying and cleaning. The work covers pot wash sinks, school and care home kitchens and restaurants and takeaways, and the jobs we see most are drains clogged with fat and a slow-draining kitchen sink.
In a village or hamlet like Hannington, commercial kitchens are few, perhaps a pub, a school or a care home. Wherever there is one, it needs its grease trap and hard-to-reach areas kept clean.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

What the work involves, part by part
Under-sink grease traps
Under-sink traps are compact units fitted below the kitchen sink. Their small size means they fill fast and need regular cleaning.
Inline grease traps
Access to an inline trap can be in a floor or cupboard. We ask about access when we quote.
Between visits
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Tell us if your menu or hours change
- Make sure the trap can be reached easily
- Report slow or smelly sinks early
- Wipe grease off pans before washing them
The waste we remove leaves with us. Nothing is left for you to dispose of when we are done.
Setting regular cleans takes the guesswork out. We agree the timing with you.
What affects the cost of grease trap cleaning
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:
- The times the site is available
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- How big the system is
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before work begins.
Helping us quote
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- 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
- The site address and the type of premises
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
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 many jobs can be priced from that alone.
What a clean won’t put right
Grease trap cleaning can’t fix everything, and we will tell you before work begins. It will not put right:
- Drains that are cracked or have collapsed
- A leaking sink waste or trap connection
- Grease deep in the drains, which needs jetting by a drainage contractor
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will tell you honestly.

FAQs for Hannington
Do you cover smaller places like Hannington?
Yes. Hannington is within the area we cover across London and the South East. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Which council inspects kitchens in Hannington?
Food hygiene inspections in Hannington are carried out by Basingstoke and Deane council. How often a business is inspected depends on the council’s risk rating for it, so the kitchen needs to be ready at any time.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, depending on what the system needs.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Duct Doctor is fully insured, and the details are available on request.
Will I get paperwork for my records?
Yes. It’s the record insurers and inspectors ask to see: a written, dated record with pictures of what we did and anything we couldn’t access.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. One number covers all your sites in our area, with visits on a regular schedule.
Why does a grease trap need regular cleaning?
Once it’s full, grease passes straight through. The grease hardens in the pipes, leading to blocked drains and smells, and can add to fatbergs in the sewer.
Do you clean under-sink and inline grease traps?
Under-sink and inline grease traps, and larger interceptors. They’re emptied, cleaned and checked whatever the size.
Why it’s worth doing now in Hannington
Wherever the kitchen is in Hannington, backed-up drains stop it working. Sinks will not empty and waste water can come back up. Keeping the trap clean reduces the risk. Somewhere as small as Hannington, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before we start.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Hannington
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and photos, so records stay tidy.
What happens on the day
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and it goes on the report too. All told, the work takes less than an hour for many under-sink units. In a small place like Hannington, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- First, we locate the grease trap and look at the pipework around it.
- 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.
