What your team can do, and what needs us
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
How we handle grease trap cleaning in Hyde
Think of the grease trap as a filter for the kitchen’s drains. Kept clean, it does its job quietly but left too long, it causes trouble. A regular clean keeps it healthy. We’re often asked to deal with gurgling drains in the kitchen and sinks that drain slowly, on pot wash sinks, inline grease traps and under-sink grease traps.
For a kitchen near Hyde, deep cleans are booked around opening hours, often on a closed day.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That’s why every job is written up in a report with photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What happens on the day
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. The visit takes an hour or so for an under-sink trap, longer for a larger unit. Because the survey comes first, a visit to Hyde can typically be finished without a second trip.
- We locate the trap and check how it’s fitted.
- We make sure nothing drains into the trap.
- Grease and solids are removed from the trap.
- The chambers and baffles are cleaned.
- The trap is refitted, tested with water and the waste taken away.
Preparing for the visit
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down

Why deal with it now?
A smelly, overflowing trap attracts pests. Keeping the trap clean removes something they’re looking for as part of a clean kitchen. A site near Hyde that has to close at short notice is hard to cover for.
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. You’ll have a fixed price before we start.

Part by part
Inline grease traps
Inline traps are fitted into the drain line. They’re larger than under-sink traps but still need regular emptying.
School, care home and staff kitchens
In schools, grease traps can be cleaned when the kitchen is closed or between meal services.
Aftercare tips
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Do not wait for a blockage to book a clean
- Tell us when sinks start draining slowly
- Get food waste into the bin, not the sink
- Tell us if your menu or hours change
Between cleans, keep food scraps out of the sink. Sink strainers help catch solids before they reach the trap.
If the kitchen has got busier, the trap fills faster. Booking cleans more often keeps the drains flowing.
Grease trap cleaning around Hyde
Food Standards Agency records list about 6 food manufacturers and packers within about 1.5 miles of central Hyde. For food producers, the grease trap schedule should follow the volume going through it. It’s Winchester City council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Hyde. Grease behind equipment or on a ceiling is the kind of thing an inspection can note. Having the dates of the last deep clean to hand saves digging for them on the day.
Where a church or community hall near St Bartholomew's Church, or anywhere in Hyde, has a kitchen used by volunteers, a periodic deep clean keeps it ready for the next event. If you serve passing trade near Winchester station, a grease trap on a regular schedule keeps the drains running through busy weeks.

What grease trap cleaning can’t fix

- A unit that cannot cope with the kitchen’s output
- Grease deep in the drains, which needs jetting by a drainage contractor
- Sewer problems outside the premises
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Parts of the system we cover

Signs you need grease trap cleaning in Hyde
Food scraps go down the sink with the washing-up water. It settles in the trap as solids and takes up space.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- A larger grease trap that needs emptying
- A blocked kitchen drain caused by grease
- A slow-draining kitchen sink
- Gurgling from the sink waste
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as St John's Rooms And Chapel (about 0.6 miles south), cook for long hours, so deep cleans and grease trap work are planned around patients’ meals.
