Grease trap cleaning in Hursley
Kitchens in Hursley use us for grease trap cleaning, whether it’s an under-sink unit or a larger inline trap. We come when the sinks aren’t needed so washing up isn’t interrupted. We’re often asked to deal with a blocked kitchen drain caused by grease and a routine grease trap service, on restaurants and takeaways, school and care home kitchens and kitchen waste pipes.
Work in a small place like Hursley starts with agreeing a date and access, and the deep clean is the same as anywhere: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

What affects the quote in Hursley
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- The scale of the work
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before any work starts.
What to send for a quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. Try to include:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you will normally have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
When to call us in Hursley
Waste cooking oil poured down the sink fills a grease trap far faster than washing-up. Small amounts soon build up.
Look out for any of the following:
- An inline trap or interceptor due for cleaning
- Sinks that drain slowly
- Foul odours from the grease trap
- A regular cleaning plan for the grease trap
School kitchens, at schools like John Keble Church of England Primary School for example, usually have their deep cleans and grease trap work done while the canteen is closed.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- Whether a written report and photos are included
- Whether the figure could change on the day
FAQs for Hursley
Can the work in Hursley be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Hursley needn’t be disturbed. Just ring 0345 646 2711 or email us with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Which council inspects kitchens in Hursley?
That is Winchester City council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Hursley. An officer may look behind equipment and at drains, so it pays to have the deep clean booked before those areas build up.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No. TR19® itself isn’t law; it’s a BESA specification. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and TR19® is the benchmark for showing that grease in the extract is under control.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so we can schedule a run of sites on one programme. Each site gets its own report and pictures.
Where does the grease from the trap go?
It’s removed from site when we leave. There’s nothing left for your team to deal with after we’ve finished.
Do you provide a certificate or report?
Yes, always. It’s a dated, written report with photos, and TR19® Grease cleans come with a certificate through the BESCA VHE portal. File it with your fire safety records.
What accreditations do you have?
We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.
What’s TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It is not legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
What we do, step by step
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the photos you sent. 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. Seeing the system in photos first means the trip to Hursley can be planned properly.
- A visit is booked around your service.
- We open the trap and look at its condition.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Clear loose items from the work area

Different parts, different methods
Restaurant and takeaway kitchens
We time visits to avoid service so the kitchen isn’t disrupted.
Under-sink grease traps
An under-sink trap is out of sight. When they fill, the sink slows and starts to smell.
Hursley kitchens: local notes
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 3 restaurants, cafés and works canteens within about 1.5 miles of central Hursley. A grease trap in kitchens like these fills steadily and needs emptying before it overflows. In Hursley, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Winchester City council. The state of floors, drains and hard-to-reach corners all feeds into the inspection. Having the dates of the last deep clean to hand saves digging for them on the day.
If you look after a hall kitchen near Church of All Saints or anywhere in Hursley, a deep clean between busy seasons is easier than a scramble before a big event. Royal Hampshire County Hospital, about 3.6 miles north-east, is the nearest hospital to Hursley; healthcare kitchens cannot stop cooking, so deep cleans are worked around meal times.

What’s near Hursley
Around Hursley, our work takes us to kitchens and buildings near Thornden School and The King's Head pub. Hursley’s nearest station is Shawford station, about 2.7 miles east of the centre. A little further out are Winchester Castle (3.9 miles north-east) and Royal Hampshire County Hospital (3.6 miles north-east). For a walk, there’s Twyford Down and Flexford Nature Reserve.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Never pour used oil down the sink
- Scrape plates and pans into the bin before washing up
- Hot water only moves grease further down
- Tell us when sinks start draining slowly
Between cleans, keep food scraps out of the sink. Use strainers in the sink plugholes so less solid waste gets through.
A trap that’s left too long stops catching grease. Regular emptying keeps it working and avoids a blockage.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
