Grease trap cleaning in Hunton, done properly
Grease is behind most blocked kitchen drains. Further on, grease can build into fatbergs in the sewer. A well-maintained trap keeps them out of the drains. We’re often asked to deal with an inline trap or interceptor due for cleaning and an under-sink unit that needs regular emptying, on kitchen waste pipes, pot wash sinks and under-sink grease traps.
Work in a small place like Hunton starts with agreeing a date and access.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

What happens on the day
Protection comes first: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes an hour or so for an under-sink trap, longer for a larger unit, and we clear up before we go. The timing of a visit to Hunton is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- A visit is booked around your service.
- The trap is opened up and checked.
- Built-up grease and food waste are taken out.
- The inside, baffles and outlet are cleaned.
- We close it up, check it drains and suggest when it needs cleaning again.
Getting ready for the visit
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
Getting a quote
For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. We usually come back within one working day.
Advice
How we price grease trap cleaning
There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- How easy every part is to reach
- The size of the system
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- What state the system is in
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.
What we need to know
What to send for a quote:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- The postcode and the type of business
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few pictures and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
What we’re called out for in Hunton
Food scraps go down the sink with the washing-up water. Solids settle at the bottom of the trap and fill it from below.
Look out for any of the following:
- Drains that gurgle and bubble
- A kitchen drain that smells
- Drains clogged with fat
- Washing-up water that won’t drain away
Kitchens near Hunton are handed back from a deep clean ready to cook.
Questions to ask before booking
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- Whether a written report and photos are included
- How areas they can’t reach will be recorded
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or photos
Looking after it afterwards
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Get food waste into the bin, not the sink
- Hot water only moves grease further down
- Keep strainers in every sink
- Do not store things on top of the trap
Once the trap is cleaned and refitted, the sinks can be used straight away. Water is run through to check everything flows before we go.
Slow sinks and a bad smell are early warnings. Acting at this stage usually prevents a blockage later.
Your questions about grease trap cleaning in Hunton
Who inspects food businesses in Hunton?
Kitchens in Hunton are inspected by Winchester City 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 cover smaller places like Hunton?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Hunton is covered. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we will propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
Do we need to stop using the sinks while you work?
While we work, those sinks are out of use. The clean takes anything from under an hour to a few hours, depending on the trap, and we time it to suit you.
How much time does a grease trap clean need?
Most grease trap cleans take an hour or so for an under-sink trap, longer for a larger unit including checking it drains. We plan the visit around your service.
Which grease traps does the service cover?
We clean all the common types. A photo helps us see what’s fitted and we’ll confirm.
Will cleaning the grease trap fix a blocked drain?
Cleaning the trap deals with the grease it holds and that may solve a slow drain caused by the trap. A blockage deeper in the drains needs a drainage specialist.
Leave it or put it right?
A smelly, overflowing trap attracts pests. Keeping the trap clean removes something they’re looking for, alongside good kitchen hygiene. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Hunton rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
