What your team can do, and what needs us
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
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 will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Grease trap cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Knights Enham
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 check the trap is working properly. The work covers inline grease traps, school and care home kitchens and under-sink grease traps, and common reasons people get in touch are a routine grease trap service and sinks that drain slowly.
Work in a small place like Knights Enham starts with agreeing a date and access, and the deep clean is the same as anywhere: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment.
A written report with photos follows every visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

How it works
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the photos you sent. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. From there, it takes anything from under an hour to a few hours, depending on the trap. Somewhere as small as Knights Enham, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- We agree a time when the sinks are not needed.
- The trap is opened up and checked.
- We remove the grease layer and settled solids.
- We clean the baffles, inlet and outlet.
- We close it up, check it drains and suggest when it needs cleaning again.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive

How we price grease trap cleaning
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- How easy every part is to reach
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Site rules, permits and inductions
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are unsure, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email for straight advice and a fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
To speed up the quote, please include:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
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, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.

Knights Enham questions
Which council inspects kitchens in Knights Enham?
The local authority for Knights Enham is Test Valley council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. Inspection results feed into the food hygiene rating published by the Food Standards Agency.
Do you work in school kitchens around Knights Enham out of term?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. There are about 8 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Knights Enham. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We carry full insurance, and we have been trading since 2009.
Will cleaning the grease trap fix a blocked drain?
Cleaning the trap deals with the grease it holds and that may solve a slow drain caused by the trap. Blockages further down the drain, or damaged pipework, need a drainage contractor.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and you’ll get one fixed quote.
Do we need to stop using the sinks while you work?
For the length of the clean, yes. The clean takes an hour or so for an under-sink trap, longer for a larger unit and we book it around your service.
Why does a grease trap need regular cleaning?
Grease escapes into the drains when the trap is full. It sets there and narrows the pipes and causes blockages. Keeping the trap clean stops that happening.
Do you provide a certificate or report?
Yes. It’s your proof that the work was done: a written, dated record with photos of what we did and anything we couldn’t access.
Do you need grease trap cleaning in Knights Enham?
The more a kitchen cooks and washes up, the quicker the trap fills. A trap that suited a quieter kitchen can fill very quickly when trade picks up.
Most sites get in touch after spotting something like this:
- A slow-draining kitchen sink
- A grease trap that hasn’t been emptied in a long time
- Gurgling drains in the kitchen
- Grease setting in the kitchen pipework
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Michael and All Angels or elsewhere in Knights Enham, a deep clean and an emptied grease trap before a busy season of events are worth booking.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether a survey comes first
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- Proof of insurance
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
What happens if it’s left?
Once the trap is full, grease heads for the drain. There it sets and narrows the pipe until water cannot get through. Cleaning the trap regularly is far easier than clearing a blocked drain. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered and we’ll price it together.

How the job changes from site to site
Baffles and outlets
Every clean includes the baffles, inlet and outlet so water flows freely.
Inline grease traps
Several sinks may drain into one inline trap. More waste means faster filling.
Aftercare tips
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Act on gurgling or smelly drains
- Never pour used oil down the sink
- Don’t store things on top of the trap
- Keep the grease trap on a regular cleaning schedule
You will get our view on how often the trap needs cleaning. That depends on how quickly it filled and how busy the kitchen is.
Slow sinks and a bad smell are early warnings. Acting at this stage usually prevents a blockage later.
