Grease trap cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Itchen Stoke
Smells from the sink, gurgling drains or slow drainage all point to the grease trap. In Itchen Stoke, as everywhere we work, our team empties and cleans the trap, then check the water flows properly. Common call-outs are for gurgling drains in the kitchen and a slow-draining kitchen sink, on restaurants and takeaways, pot wash sinks and school and care home kitchens.
Work in a small place like Itchen Stoke starts with agreeing a date and access, and the deep clean is the same as anywhere: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Itchen Stoke kitchens: local notes
We cover Itchen Stoke, about 56 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours. Kitchens in Itchen Stoke get their food hygiene inspections from Winchester City council. The state of floors, drains and hard-to-reach corners all feeds into the inspection. Photos and dates from each deep clean make a useful record.
If you run event catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Hinton Ampner House is about 4 miles south-east), a deep clean before or after the busy season is worth planning. If you look after a hall kitchen near St Mary's Church or anywhere in Itchen Stoke, a deep clean between busy seasons is easier than a scramble before a big event.

Fats, oils and grease from cooking and washing up go down the sink. In the trap, they cool and separate and the grease layer grows.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Grease setting in the kitchen pipework
- An interceptor full of grease and solids
- Gurgling drains in the kitchen
- A kitchen drain that smells
If you run a care home or healthcare kitchen near Itchen Stoke (the nearest hospital is St John's Rooms And Chapel, about 4.7 miles south-west), a grease trap on a set schedule avoids a blocked drain mid-service.

An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what grease trap cleaning won’t do:
- Drains that need jetting rather than trap cleaning
- Leaking pipework or sink wastes, which need a plumber
- Broken pipework below ground

Why act early in Itchen Stoke
A smelly, overflowing trap attracts pests. Keeping the trap clean removes something they’re looking for as part of a clean kitchen. In a place like Itchen Stoke, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before work begins.

What we do, step by step
There are three stages on the day: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, and the sign-off is a written report with pictures. The middle part takes longest, which takes less than an hour for many under-sink units. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Itchen Stoke and turn up when the site is quiet.
- We agree a time when the sinks are not needed.
- We open the trap and look at its condition.
- We remove the grease layer and settled solids.
- We clean the baffles, inlet and outlet.
- The trap is closed, tested and the next clean discussed.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Clear the space around the work
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
Ask for a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

Itchen Stoke questions
Will you come out to Itchen Stoke?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Itchen Stoke is covered. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Which environmental health team covers Itchen Stoke?
In Itchen Stoke, it’s Winchester City council that carries out food hygiene inspections. How often a business is inspected depends on the council’s risk rating for it, so the kitchen needs to be ready at any time.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
By covering it before any work starts. The work is kept contained and clean down when we finish.
Will cleaning the grease trap fix a blocked drain?
That depends on the cause. A full trap is a common cause, and cleaning it can help, but blockages further along need a drainage contractor.
Where does the waste go?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. We don’t leave it behind.
What’s TR19?
A BESA specification, with two parts that matter most here: 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.
How much time does a grease trap clean need?
Most grease trap cleans take anything from under an hour to a few hours, depending on the trap, including testing. It’s booked when the sinks aren’t needed.
How much notice do you need?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
