Grease trap cleaning in Liss
If the sinks drain slowly or smell, the trap is often the cause. We find the trap, empty it and clean it, then check the water flows 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 sinks that drain slowly and drains clogged with fat.
Work in a smaller place like Liss is planned around your opening hours, and the journey is planned ahead.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

Questions from Liss
Can you get to a site in Liss?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Liss is covered. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Can the work in Liss be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. It means the site in Liss keeps running as normal. Just ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Which records should we keep?
Every certificate and report from each visit, filed in the maintenance log with your in-house cleaning records. BESA advises that certificates record the date, location and technician.
Can you give me a price for grease trap cleaning?
Every trap is different, so we quote once we know what you have. You get a fixed quote, typically within one working day.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. One number covers all your sites in our area, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
Will I get paperwork for my records?
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.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, depending on what the system needs.
How long does a grease trap clean take?
Most grease trap cleans take a short visit for a small trap and longer for an inline unit or interceptor, including testing. It’s booked when the sinks are not needed.
What we do, step by step
The visit has three parts: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, while signing off means the written report and photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, which takes an hour or so for an under-sink trap, longer for a larger unit. Tell us when your site near Liss is quiet and the visit will be booked for then.
- First, we find the trap and look at its connections.
- We make sure nothing drains into the trap.
- Grease and solids are removed from the trap.
- We clean every part of the inside.
- We refit it, run water through and remove the waste.
Preparing for the visit
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
Get a fixed quote
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, you get a fixed price before we start.

What affects the cost of grease trap cleaning
Your quote is based on your site. We take into account:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You’ll have a fixed price before any work starts.
What we need to know
When you contact us, these details help:
- A few general shots of the system
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, photos of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us.
When something else is needed
Not every problem is solved by grease trap cleaning, and we’ll tell you before we start. It does not solve:
- Sewer problems outside the premises
- A leaking sink waste or trap connection
- A grease trap that’s too small for the kitchen
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Commercial kitchens in Liss
Look up Liss on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 4 restaurants, cafés and canteens within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Liss. Fat from washing up sets hard in pipes, and kitchens like these produce plenty of it. Kitchens in Liss get their food hygiene inspections from East Hampshire council. Walls, floors, ceilings and equipment are all part of what they look at. Photos and dates from each deep clean make a useful record.
Hall and church kitchens, near Church of St Mary or anywhere around Liss, are used by many hands, and periodic deep cleans and grease trap visits keep them in order. If you run a care home or healthcare kitchen near Liss (the nearest hospital is Petersfield Community Hospital, about 3.6 miles south-west), a grease trap on a set schedule avoids a blocked drain mid-service. School kitchens, at schools like Liss Infant School for example, usually have their deep cleans and grease trap work done while the canteen is closed.
Liss is about 3 miles north-east of Petersfield, in Hampshire. From the centre of Liss to the outskirts, we cover grease trap cleaning for every kind of premises, from a single unit to a large public building. Liss is one of 683 places in Hampshire we cover for commercial clients. You can also see our page for Portsmouth, about 18 miles away.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Why deal with it now?
A blocked drain can stop a kitchen in its tracks. Water won’t drain away and waste water can come back up. Cleaning the grease trap on time helps prevent it. A visit arranged in advance is far less disruptive than a callout on a busy day.
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.

Keeping the system healthy
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Get food waste into the bin, not the sink
- Don’t wait for a blockage to book a clean
- Keep strainers in every sink
- Mention any increase in cooking
Anything we notice beyond the trap, like a slow drain downstream, is pointed out. That may need a drainage contractor to look further.
More cooking means more grease in the trap. Booking cleans more often stops it overflowing.
