About our grease trap cleaning in Itchen Abbas
A clean trap means flowing drains and no foul smells. We empty the built-up grease and food solids and the chambers and baffles cleaned and the trap checked before we leave. Common call-outs are for a full, neglected grease trap and sinks that drain slowly, across school and care home kitchens, inline grease traps and kitchen waste pipes.
In a village or hamlet like Itchen Abbas, commercial kitchens are few, perhaps a pub, a school or a care home. Wherever there is one, it needs its grease trap and hard-to-reach areas kept clean.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with pictures of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Part by part
Under-sink grease traps
We empty and clean under-sink traps without disrupting the rest of the kitchen and check the seal on the lid.
Restaurant and takeaway kitchens
A blocked drain in a busy kitchen can stop service. Keeping the trap clean reduces the risk.
FAQs for Itchen Abbas
Which council inspects kitchens in Itchen Abbas?
That’s Winchester City council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Itchen Abbas. Keep the dates of your last deep clean and grease trap visit with your food safety records, ready if an officer asks.
Do you cover smaller places like Itchen Abbas?
Yes, Itchen Abbas is part of our area, however small the site. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, from your photos and details, or with a visit where necessary. A fixed quote follows.
Are you insured?
Yes. We carry full insurance, and we’ve been trading since 2009.
Where does the waste go?
It’s contained and taken away. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go, so it does not spread.
What do you do to protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. We keep the work contained and clean down when we finish.
Do you take the waste away?
We take the grease and solids away with us. Nothing greasy is left on site after the visit.
What is TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping and expects a risk-based approach.
What we are called out for in Itchen Abbas
For a kitchen in Itchen Abbas or anywhere else, the trap is out of sight and out of mind. Hidden under a sink or in a floor, it’s often ignored until something goes wrong.
What we are most often called out for:
- Foul odours from the grease trap
- Drains that gurgle and bubble
- A regular cleaning plan for the grease trap
- A blocked kitchen drain caused by grease
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like St John's Rooms And Chapel about 3.9 miles south-west, deep cleans and grease trap visits are planned so meals still go out.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether a written report and photos are included
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- Whether they recommend a next date
- Whether they’re fully insured
For landlords and multi-site operators
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
How we price grease trap cleaning
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:
- Parking and loading at the site
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- What state the system is in
- How many systems or sites are involved
The cost depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.
Asking for a quote
You don’t need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To start, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Grease trap cleaning in Itchen Abbas: local notes

A cleaning log that includes deep cleans and grease trap visits shows the work is planned. At about 57 miles from central London, Itchen Abbas sits well inside the area we cover. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours.

How the visit works
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and the same goes into the written report. The visit takes a short visit for a small trap and longer for an inline unit or interceptor. For a village or hamlet like Itchen Abbas, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- First, we locate the grease trap and look at the pipework around it.
- Nothing drains into the trap while it’s open.
- The trap is emptied of grease and food waste.
- The inside, baffles and pipe connections are cleaned.
- The trap is reassembled, checked for leaks and the waste taken away.
