- A larger grease trap that needs emptying
What your team can do, and what needs us
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
Grease trap cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Ibworth
Grease trap cleaning keeps the drains running and the smells away. We empty the built-up grease and food solids and the chambers and baffles cleaned, and check the trap is working properly. If you are dealing with scheduled grease trap emptying and foul odours from the grease trap, we can put it right, from under-sink grease traps, restaurants and takeaways and school and care home kitchens onwards.
Somewhere as small as Ibworth, the kitchens that need a deep clean are typically a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still needs the occasional deep clean and its grease trap kept clear.
We have been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.

A record of each deep clean helps show the kitchen is kept in order.

Questions from Ibworth
Will you come out to Ibworth?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Ibworth is covered. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Ibworth?
Food hygiene inspections in Ibworth are carried out by Basingstoke and Deane council. Keep the dates of your last deep clean and grease trap visit with your food safety records, ready if an officer asks.
Which accreditations do you hold?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We are fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
Will I get paperwork for my records?
Yes, on every job. The report is dated and includes pictures, and TR19® Grease cleans come with a certificate through the BESCA VHE portal. File it with your fire safety records.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line, for problems that cannot wait. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
Will you tell us when the next visit is due?
Yes. We put a recommended next date on the report. BESA’s minimum intervals for kitchen extracts range from 3-monthly for heavy use to 12-monthly for light use, and fire dampers need testing at least once a year.
How far ahead should we book?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
What about areas you can’t get to?
They’re marked on the report. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, which we can install.
How it works
Your staff don’t need to do much on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Ibworth, let us know and we will plan around it.
- We agree a time when the sinks are not needed.
- 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.
- The trap is closed, tested and the next clean discussed.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Move anything stored near the system
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
Getting a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Ibworth
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and photos, so each one has its own record.
What affects the cost of grease trap cleaning
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- The number of sites or systems
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
The cost depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.
What we need to know
What to send for a quote:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- The site address and the type of premises
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To get going, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Signs you need grease trap cleaning in Ibworth
The more a kitchen cooks and washes up, the quicker the trap fills. Traps sized for lighter use can fill very quickly when trade picks up.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- An overdue grease trap
- A slow-draining kitchen sink
- A larger grease trap that needs emptying
- Drains clogged with fat
Healthcare kitchens cook through the year, so a deep clean has to be fitted around meals; Park Prewett Hospital, about 3.1 miles east, is the nearest hospital to Ibworth.
Questions to ask before you book
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- Whether a survey comes first
- Whether a written report and photos are included
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
What happens if it’s left?
In Ibworth, as anywhere, grease trap cleaning is a short, routine visit. Waiting for a blockage turns it into an urgent problem, often at a busy time. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
We don’t list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and we will explain what it covers.
