- Sinks that drain slowly
- Foul odours from the grease trap
- An under-sink trap that keeps filling up

Questions to ask before booking
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- How areas they can’t reach will be recorded
- Whether a written report and pictures are included
- Whether a survey comes first
How we handle grease trap cleaning in Holybourne
Every trap is different. Under-sink traps are compact and need frequent attention, while inline traps and interceptors hold more. We look at the trap, how much the kitchen uses it and how quickly it fills before suggesting how often it needs cleaning. If you have an interceptor full of grease and solids and a regular cleaning plan for the grease trap, we can help.
Work in a small place like Holybourne starts with agreeing a date and access, and the deep clean is the same as anywhere: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Holybourne questions
Do you work in villages like Holybourne?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Can the work in Holybourne be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The site is handed back ready to open. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a small pub to a hospital. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
Do I get a report after the visit?
Yes, always. It’s a dated, written report with photos, plus a certificate via the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal for TR19® Grease cleans. File it with your fire safety records.
Which grease traps does the service cover?
Under-sink and inline grease traps, and larger interceptors. They’re emptied, cleaned and checked in the same careful way.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
We never leave them off the paperwork. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
How long will the sinks be out of use?
Each trap is a little different, and you can expect it to take less than an hour for many under-sink units. You’ll know before the visit.
Can you clear our blocked drains as well?
A trap clean removes the grease in the trap, and can clear the problem where the trap was the cause. Blockages further down the drain, or damaged pipework, need a drainage contractor.
Leave it or put it right?
Pouring hot water or chemicals down a slow drain is a common quick fix. That only moves the grease further down the pipe, where it sets again. The lasting fix starts with the trap. Somewhere as small as Holybourne, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered and we’ll price it together.

What grease trap cleaning looks like in Holybourne
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 20 pubs, bars and clubs and about 3 hotels and guest houses within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Holybourne. Any of them serving food has a kitchen that collects grease out of sight and drains that need protecting. It’s East Hampshire council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Holybourne. They look at the cleanliness of the whole kitchen: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment. Photos and dates from each deep clean make a useful record.
Bentworth Hall, about 4.6 miles west, is one of the historic houses around Holybourne; event kitchens at places like that work in bursts, so a deep clean after a busy season helps. Alton Community Hospital, about 2.4 miles south-west, is the nearest hospital to Holybourne; healthcare kitchens cannot stop cooking, so deep cleans are worked around meal times.

Between visits
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Tell us when sinks start draining slowly
- Keep strainers in every sink
- Hot water only moves grease further down
- Mention any increase in cooking
We take the grease and solids away. Nothing is left for you to dispose of when we are done.
If the sinks are slow or smelly, the trap may be full. Acting at this stage typically prevents a blockage later.
How the visit works
There are three stages on the day: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, and the sign-off is a written report with photos. The middle part takes longest, and that takes an hour or so for an under-sink trap, longer for a larger unit. Seeing the system in photos first means the trip to Holybourne can be planned properly.
- First, we find the trap and look at its connections.
- We make sure nothing drains into the trap.
- We empty out the fat, oil, grease and solids.
- The chambers and baffles are cleaned.
- The trap is refitted, tested with water and the waste taken away.
Before we arrive
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
Getting a quote
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.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit ends with a dated report and pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We’re happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
What affects the quote in Holybourne
Sites vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Where the site is and how we reach it
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before any work starts.
What we need to know
To speed up the quote, please include:
- A few general shots of the system
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
To help us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, pictures of the system and any previous report or certificate. Then ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
When it’s something else
We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what grease trap cleaning will not do:
- Leaking pipework or sink wastes, which need a plumber
- A unit that cannot cope with the kitchen’s output
- Sewer problems outside the premises
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll say what we think before you book.
