Grease trap cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Hinton Ampner
Grease trap cleaning keeps the drains running and the smells away. The fat, oil, grease and solids are taken out, clean the inside and the baffles and the trap checked before we leave. If you have an under-sink trap that keeps filling up and a full, neglected grease trap, we can put it right.
Somewhere as small as Hinton Ampner, the kitchens that need a deep clean are typically a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Wherever there is one, it needs its grease trap and hard-to-reach areas kept clean.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

How we price grease trap cleaning
There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- The size of the system
- The condition of the system
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
You will not find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll talk you through it.
Asking for a quote
What to send for a quote:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
If you need grease trap cleaning in Hinton Ampner, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form. Let us know the site type and the opening hours, plus pictures or the previous report if they’re to hand. A fixed quote typically follows within one working day.
What we do, step by step
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your pictures. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, it takes an hour or two in most kitchens, depending on the size and condition of the trap. For a village or hamlet like Hinton Ampner, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- A visit is booked around your service.
- The trap is opened up and checked.
- We remove the grease layer and settled solids.
- The inside, baffles and outlet are cleaned.
- We close it up, check it drains and suggest when it needs cleaning again.
Before we arrive
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system

Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your photos and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before work begins.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.

Common questions in Hinton Ampner
Can you get to a site in Hinton Ampner?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Hinton Ampner is covered. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Hinton Ampner?
The local authority for Hinton Ampner is Winchester City council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. Photos from a deep clean are a simple record of what was done and when.
Where does the grease from the trap go?
We take it away. Your staff don’t have to handle it once the clean is done.
Are you accredited?
Duct Doctor is a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we’re fully insured.
Do the sinks have to be out of use during the clean?
Only briefly, and only the sinks that feed the trap. We plan the visit for a quieter time wherever possible.
What’s TR19?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
What do you do with what you remove?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. None of it is left on site.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
Between visits
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Fit sink strainers to catch food scraps
- Scrape plates and pans into the bin before washing up
- Act on gurgling or smelly drains
- Tell us if your menu or hours change
We take the grease and solids away. There’s no greasy waste left on site after the visit.
More cooking means more grease in the trap. Booking cleans more often stops it overflowing.
What happens if it’s left?
Pests are drawn to grease and food waste. A clean trap is less of an attraction, alongside good kitchen hygiene. If the system at a site near Hinton Ampner fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
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 will go through it with you.
