Advice
Grease trap cleaning in Liphook
Think of the grease trap as a filter for the kitchen’s drains. Kept clean, it does its job quietly but left too long, it causes trouble. A regular clean keeps it healthy. If you have a kitchen drain that smells and a full, neglected grease trap, we can help.
Around a place like Liphook, deep clean work tends to mean pubs, cafés and school or care home kitchens. A smaller kitchen still builds up grease where everyday cleaning does not reach.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

Your questions about grease trap cleaning in Liphook
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Liphook?
Kitchens in Liphook are inspected by East Hampshire council’s environmental health officers. An officer may look behind equipment and at drains, so it pays to have the deep clean booked before those areas build up.
Do you clean school kitchens in Liphook in the summer holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. The FSA’s register shows about 2 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Liphook. Tell us your holiday dates and we’ll book the visit for when the site is empty.
Do we need to stop using the sinks while you work?
While we work, those sinks are out of use. The clean takes anything from under an hour to a few hours, depending on the trap, and we time it to suit you.
How often should a grease trap be cleaned?
It depends on the size of the trap and how busy the kitchen is. A small trap fills more quickly than a large one and the busier the kitchen, the faster it fills. We will suggest an interval after the first clean.
Can you clear our blocked drains as well?
Our service covers the grease trap itself. If the drain beyond the trap is blocked or damaged, we’ll tell you so you can call a drainage contractor.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
They’re marked on the report. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, which we can install.
Does the report say when we need you again?
Yes. Every report includes a recommended date for the next visit, based on what we found and how the system is used.
How much time does a grease trap clean need?
Typically, it takes an hour or so for an under-sink trap, longer for a larger unit. A large or very full trap takes longer and we’ll say so when we quote.
Grease trap cleaning around Liphook
Food Standards Agency records list about 4 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 7 takeaways within about 1.5 miles of central Liphook. Kitchens like these wash fat, oil and grease down the sink every day, and a grease trap is what stops it reaching the sewer. Environmental health officers from East Hampshire council inspect food businesses in Liphook. They look at the cleanliness of the whole kitchen: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment. Having the dates of the last deep clean to hand saves digging for them on the day.
If you run a café or takeaway near Liphook station, a deep clean overnight means the kitchen opens as normal next morning. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Bohunt School or anywhere near Liphook, the holidays are the time for a deep clean or a grease trap clean.

What else we do in Liphook
What the work involves, part by part
Restaurant and takeaway kitchens
Visits are booked when the sinks are not in use so you don’t lose trade.
School, care home and staff kitchens
Care home and hospital kitchens need their drains working all the time. Visits are planned between meals.
How we price grease trap cleaning
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- The scale of the work
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.
What to send for a quote
To speed up the quote, please include:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your pictures and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before any work starts.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Looking after it afterwards
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Hot water only moves grease further down
- Keep waste oil out of the drains
- Tell us if your menu or hours change
- Scrape plates and pans into the bin before washing up
You’ll get our view on how often the trap needs cleaning. It’s based on how full it was and how busy the kitchen is.
Fat that escapes the trap hardens in the pipework. Clearing it then is a bigger job, so it’s far better to keep the trap clean.
For landlords and multi-site operators
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.
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with pictures.
Signs you need grease trap cleaning in Liphook
If a trap isn’t emptied, grease passes straight through. It then builds up in the drains and the sewer beyond, where it can form blockages.
What we’re most often called out for:
- A blocked kitchen drain caused by grease
- An under-sink unit that needs regular emptying
- An inline trap or interceptor due for cleaning
- Drains that gurgle and bubble
If you look after a hall kitchen near St Mary's Church Centre or anywhere in Liphook, a deep clean between busy seasons is easier than a scramble before a big event.
