About our grease trap cleaning in Liss Forest
A neglected grease trap stops doing its job. Fat sets in the pipes downstream and the result is blocked drains and bad smells. A trap that’s cleaned regularly keeps grease where it belongs. Common call-outs are for an under-sink unit that needs regular emptying and an overdue grease trap, across restaurants and takeaways, school and care home kitchens and pot wash sinks.
For a kitchen in or near Liss Forest, the visit is planned ahead, around opening times and the journey, and the deep clean is the same as anywhere: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with photos after each visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Liss Forest
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and photos, so records stay tidy.
What else we do in Liss Forest
Between visits
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Don’t store things on top of the trap
- Get food waste into the bin, not the sink
- Hot water only moves grease further down
- Let us know if the kitchen gets busier
Anything we notice beyond the trap, like a slow drain downstream, is pointed out. It may need a drainage specialist to look further.
Grease that gets past the trap sets in the drains. Clearing it then is a bigger job so prevention is the easier route.
What happens on the day
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 it goes on the report too. All told, 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 Liss Forest.
- A visit is booked around your service.
- We open the trap and look at its condition.
- Built-up grease and food waste are taken out.
- We clean the baffles, inlet and outlet.
- We close it up, check it drains and suggest when it needs cleaning again.
Before we arrive
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
How to get a quote
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To get going, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.

Questions from Liss Forest
Which environmental health team covers Liss Forest?
Food hygiene inspections in Liss Forest are carried out by East Hampshire council. Photos from a deep clean are a simple record of what was done and when.
Do you work overnight in Liss Forest?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. That way a site in Liss Forest does not have to lose a day’s trading. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line, and we will advise on what to do next.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
Anything we cannot reach goes on the report, with a note of where it is, and we tell you what would make it reachable, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
What’s 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.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. The law sets the duty, and TR19® is the recognised benchmark for meeting it. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and many insurers can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of cleaning.
Do you provide a certificate or report?
Yes. It’s the record insurers and inspectors ask to see: a written, dated record with pictures of what we did and anything we couldn’t access.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. For many sites, pictures and a few details are enough, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
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 give you a fixed quote.
How the job changes from site to site
Restaurant and takeaway kitchens
A blocked drain in a busy kitchen can stop service. Regular trap cleaning helps prevent it.
Inline grease traps
Access to an inline trap can be in a floor or cupboard. We check how to reach it before the visit.
How we price grease trap cleaning
Every site gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Parking and loading at the site
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re not sure what’s needed, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us for straight advice and a fixed quote.
Asking for a quote
What to send for a quote:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
What grease trap cleaning looks like in Liss Forest
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 4 pubs, bars and clubs within about 1.5 miles of central Liss Forest. Pub and hotel kitchens get the same build-up behind equipment and in the grease trap as any other. Environmental health officers from East Hampshire council inspect food businesses in Liss Forest. The state of floors, drains and hard-to-reach corners all feeds into the inspection. Keeping a record of deep cleans and grease trap visits helps at inspection time.
