What staff can safely do
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.
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
Grease trap cleaning in Inhurst
Grease trap cleaning keeps the drains running and the smells away. The fat, oil, grease and solids are taken out and the chambers and baffles cleaned and the trap checked before we leave. If you are dealing with washing-up water that won’t drain away and a larger grease trap that needs emptying, we can put it right.
For a kitchen in or near Inhurst, the visit is planned ahead, around opening times and the journey.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

Honest limits
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- A grease trap that is too small for the kitchen
- Blockages further down the drainage network
- Collapsed or damaged drains, which need a drainage contractor

Parts of the system we cover
- School and care home kitchens
- Kitchen waste pipes
- Restaurants and takeaways
- Inline grease traps
- Pot wash sinks
- Under-sink grease traps
Signs you need grease trap cleaning in Inhurst
A full trap can’t hold any more grease. It then builds up in the drains and the sewer beyond, where it can form blockages.
Clients normally contact us after spotting something like this:
- Drains clogged with fat
- A kitchen drain that smells
- A full, neglected grease trap
- Drains that gurgle and bubble
Half-term is a good time for school kitchens, at schools like The Hurst School for instance, to have the grease trap emptied and the kitchen deep cleaned.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
- Whether a written report and pictures are included
The process
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes anything from under an hour to a few hours, depending on the trap. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Inhurst.
- First, we find the trap and look at its connections.
- Sinks feeding the trap are taken out of use.
- Grease and solids are removed from the trap.
- We clean every part of the inside.
- We refit it, run water through and remove the waste.
How to prepare
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Move anything stored near the system

Advice
Grease trap cleaning in Inhurst: local notes
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 3 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 6 sandwich bars and takeaways in and around Inhurst, up to about a mile and a half out. A grease trap in kitchens like these fills steadily and needs emptying before it overflows. In Inhurst, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Basingstoke and Deane council. The state of floors, drains and hard-to-reach corners all feeds into the inspection. A record of each deep clean helps show the kitchen is kept in order.
If you look after a hall kitchen near Saint Mary's Church or anywhere in Inhurst, a deep clean between busy seasons is easier than a scramble before a big event. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Park Prewett Hospital (about 5.8 miles south-east), cook for long hours, so deep cleans and grease trap work are planned around patients’ meals.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We are happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
Between visits
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Avoid pouring boiling water down to shift grease
- Let us know if the kitchen gets busier
- Make sure the trap can be reached easily
- Get food waste into the bin, not the sink
The waste we remove leaves with us. There’s no greasy waste left on site after the visit.
Grease that gets past the trap sets in the drains. Once it’s there, it needs a drainage contractor to clear, so it’s far better to keep the trap clean.
Leave it or put it right?
In Inhurst, as anywhere, grease trap cleaning is a short, routine visit. A blocked drain is an emergency and usually at the worst moment. In a small place like Inhurst, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
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 give you a fixed price before we start.

Inhurst questions
Can you get to a site in Inhurst?
Yes. Inhurst is within the area we cover across London and the South East. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Inhurst?
Food hygiene inspections in Inhurst are carried out by Basingstoke and Deane council. Photos from a deep clean are a simple record of what was done and when.
Will the grease trap clean disrupt the kitchen?
The sinks that drain into the trap cannot be used while it’s open. That is why we time visits around service so the kitchen isn’t held up.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line, and we’ll advise on what to do next.
Can you clear our blocked drains as well?
Cleaning the trap deals with the grease it holds, and can clear the problem where the trap was the cause. A blockage deeper in the drains needs a drainage specialist.
How much does grease trap cleaning cost?
Trap size, type, condition and access all affect the price. Send us details or a photo and we’ll come back with a fixed price.
How long will the sinks be out of use?
As a guide, it takes an hour or two in most kitchens, depending on the size and condition of the trap. A large or very full trap takes longer and we will say so when we quote.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We start with protection: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
