Grease trap cleaning in Haslar, Hampshire
Grease trap cleaning for Haslar, with a survey first and a report with pictures at the end. Ask us for a fixed quote.
- A full, neglected grease trap
- An under-sink unit that needs regular emptying
- A blocked kitchen drain caused by grease
How the visit works
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your pictures. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, the work 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 Haslar and turn up when the site is quiet.
- We start by finding the trap and checking its inlet and outlet.
- We ask for the sinks that drain into the trap not to be used.
- Built-up fat, oil and grease is removed from the trap.
- Every part of the trap is scraped and cleaned, including the baffles.
- We put it back together, run water through and remove the waste.
Preparing for the visit
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Move anything stored near the system
Getting a quote
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, and then give you a fixed quote. To start, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.

How we handle grease trap cleaning in Haslar
A clean trap means flowing drains and no foul smells. The fat, oil, grease and solids are taken out, clean the inside and the baffles and the trap checked before we leave. The work covers school and care home kitchens, kitchen waste pipes and pot wash sinks, and common reasons people get in touch are grease setting in the kitchen pipework and gurgling drains in the kitchen.
Rural kitchens may drain to a septic tank or a private drain rather than straight into a public sewer, and fat getting past a grease trap can cause real trouble there.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Commercial kitchens in Haslar
The FSA’s data shows about 40 pubs and bars and about 4 hotels and B&Bs registered within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Haslar. Wherever they cook, the kitchen and its drains need the same attention as a restaurant’s. Kitchens in Haslar get their food hygiene inspections from Gosport council. 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.
Hall kitchens near St Francis or elsewhere in Haslar may have older sinks and drains, so a grease trap check is worth adding to a deep clean. If you run a care home or healthcare kitchen near Haslar (the nearest hospital is Gosport War Memorial Hospital, about 1.2 miles north-west), a grease trap on a set schedule avoids a blocked drain mid-service.

Your questions about grease trap cleaning in Haslar
Is Haslar within the area you cover?
Yes, Haslar is part of our area, however small the site. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you work overnight in Haslar?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The work in Haslar can fit around your hours. When you phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, mention when the site is quiet.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
They’re marked on the report. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, and we can fit those.
What happens to the waste?
We contain it and take it with us. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go, so it does not spread.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, to suit the system and how it’s used.
What do you do to protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. The work is kept contained and clean down when we finish.
Are you accredited?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
What does a grease trap clean cost?
We price it once we know the trap and how often it needs cleaning. Get in touch and we will send you a fixed quote before any work starts.
Do you need grease trap cleaning in Haslar?
Oil tipped down the drain instead of being collected fills a grease trap far faster than washing-up. Even small amounts add up.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Drains clogged with fat
- A bad smell from the sinks or drains
- Gurgling drains in the kitchen
- A grease trap that hasn’t been emptied in a long time
For schools such as Haselworth Primary School, deep cleans and grease trap work are normally booked for the holidays.

How we price grease trap cleaning
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- The condition of the system
- The number of sites or systems
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before we start.
Helping us quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- The postcode and the type of business
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you’ll normally have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
Between visits
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Keep strainers in every sink
- Avoid pouring boiling water down to shift grease
- Don’t store things on top of the trap
- Get food waste into the bin, not the sink
The sinks are ready to use as soon as we have finished. We run water through to check it drains before we leave.
A fixed cleaning interval means the trap never gets overfull. The interval is set to suit the trap and the kitchen.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Haslar and across Hampshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so records stay tidy.
Why it’s worth doing now in Haslar
Once the trap is full, grease heads for the drain. There it sets and narrows the pipe, until the drain blocks. Cleaning the trap regularly is far easier than clearing a blocked drain. Planning a trip to Haslar ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
The cost depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.
