About our grease trap cleaning in Headley
If the sinks drain slowly or smell, the trap is often the cause. In Headley, as everywhere we work, our team empties and cleans the trap and run water through to check it drains. The work covers pot wash sinks, under-sink grease traps and inline grease traps, and common reasons people get in touch are a bad smell from the sinks or drains and scheduled grease trap emptying.
In a village or hamlet like Headley, commercial kitchens are few, perhaps a pub, a school or a care home. Each still needs the occasional deep clean and its grease trap kept clear.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with pictures after every visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Leave it or put it right?
Pouring hot water or chemicals down a slow drain is a common quick fix. It just shifts the grease further along, where it sets again. Emptying and cleaning the trap deals with the source. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before any work starts.

Part by part
School, care home and staff kitchens
In schools, grease traps can be cleaned when the kitchen is closed or between meal services.
Under-sink grease traps
Small grease traps sit under the sink. They fill quickly, so they need frequent emptying.
Fixed quotes for grease trap cleaning in Headley
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- The condition we find in the survey
- Parking and loading at the site
- Site rules, permits and inductions
We don’t list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll talk you through it.
Asking for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you will usually have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
Multi-site and managed buildings
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we will send a fixed quote.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
Headley questions
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Headley?
Kitchens in Headley are inspected by East Hampshire council’s environmental health officers. An officer may look behind equipment and at drains, so it pays to have the deep clean booked before those areas build up.
Do you work at weekends in Headley?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. It means the site in Headley keeps running as normal. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with your opening times and we will plan around them.
How do you protect the area?
We start with protection: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
How far ahead should we book?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
It depends on the building. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, facilities manager or managing agent.
Are you insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we have been trading since 2009.
Do you recommend a next date?
Yes. How often depends on use and condition and the report sets out why.
What does TR19 mean?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked, and it takes a risk-based approach.
Honest limits
Not every problem is solved by grease trap cleaning, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t put right:
- Leaking pipework or sink wastes, which need a plumber
- Grease set hard in the drain run
- A unit that cannot cope with the kitchen’s output
If you are not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What grease trap cleaning looks like in Headley
Food Standards Agency data counts about 5 restaurants, cafés and works canteens in and around Headley, up to about a mile and a half out. Wherever they wash pans and plates, fat heads for the drain unless a trap catches it. In Headley, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from East Hampshire council. The state of floors, drains and hard-to-reach corners all feeds into the inspection. Photos and dates from each deep clean make a useful record.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as The Holme Church of England Primary School or anywhere near Headley, the holidays are the time for a deep clean or a grease trap clean. Healthcare kitchens cook through the year, so a deep clean has to be fitted around meals; Chase Community Hospital, about 1.9 miles south-west, is the nearest hospital to Headley. Hall kitchens near Church of All Saints or elsewhere in Headley may have older sinks and drains, so a grease trap check is worth adding to a deep clean.

Advice
Looking after it afterwards
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Tell us if your menu or hours change
- Scrape plates and pans into the bin before washing up
- Keep the grease trap on a regular cleaning schedule
- Avoid pouring boiling water down to shift grease
If we spot problems beyond the trap, such as a drain that still runs slowly, we will tell you. It may need a drainage specialist to investigate.
Fat that escapes the trap hardens in the pipework. Clearing it then is a bigger job, so it’s far better to keep the trap clean.
