Grease trap cleaning across Little Hoddington

Grease trap cleaning in Little Hoddington, done properly

Every trap is different. Under-sink units are small and fill quickly and larger traps hold more grease before they fill. We look at the trap, how much the kitchen uses it and how quickly it fills and suggest an interval that suits. Common call-outs are for an under-sink trap that keeps filling up and an inline trap or interceptor due for cleaning, on inline grease traps, kitchen waste pipes and pot wash sinks.

Rural kitchens may drain to a septic tank or a private drain rather than straight into a public sewer, so keeping fat out with a working grease trap matters even more.

A written report with photos follows every visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What a clean will not put right

We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so here are the limits:

  • Drains that are cracked or have collapsed
  • Drains that need jetting rather than trap cleaning
  • Blockages in the public sewer beyond the property

If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Parts of the system we cover

  • Inline grease traps
  • Pot wash sinks
  • Kitchen waste pipes
  • Under-sink grease traps
  • School and care home kitchens
  • Restaurants and takeaways

Common questions in Little Hoddington

Do you work at weekends in Little Hoddington?

Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. Your customers, staff or residents in Little Hoddington needn’t be disturbed. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.

Is Little Hoddington within the area you cover?

Yes. Little Hoddington is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.

Is there a survey before the work?

Yes. Photos often do the job, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.

Do I get a report after the visit?

Yes. It’s your proof that the work was done: a dated report with photos, listing the work and any areas we couldn’t reach.

Can we book visits on a schedule?

Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we’ll propose a schedule with a fixed quote.

What problems does a full grease trap cause?

Grease escapes into the drains when the trap is full. There it hardens on the pipe walls until they block. Keeping the trap clean stops that happening.

Can you look after several sites?

Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and we will quote them together.

Which accreditations do you hold?

CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We have been trading since 2009 and we are fully insured.

What we do, step by step

The visit has three parts: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, while signing off means the written report and photos. The middle part takes longest, which takes less than an hour for many under-sink units. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Little Hoddington run smoothly.

  1. We agree a time when the sinks are not needed.
  2. The trap is opened up and checked.
  3. Built-up grease and food waste are taken out.
  4. We clean the baffles, inlet and outlet.
  5. The trap is closed, tested and the next clean discussed.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
  • Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
  • Clear the space around the work

When to call us in Little Hoddington

A busy kitchen in Little Hoddington, or anywhere else, fills its grease trap faster. Traps sized for lighter use can fill very quickly when trade picks up.

Common reasons sites call us include:

  • Scheduled grease trap emptying
  • Foul odours from the grease trap
  • An interceptor full of grease and solids
  • A slow-draining kitchen sink

Basingstoke and North Hampshire Hospital, about 6 miles north-west, is the nearest hospital to Little Hoddington; healthcare kitchens can’t stop cooking, so deep cleans are worked around meal times.

Questions to ask before you book

Why deal with it now?

Smells from a neglected trap are hard to ignore. Rotting food and grease give off foul odours and the smell carries. Cleaning it removes the cause. It’s simpler to plan the work at Little Hoddington now than to arrange it in a hurry later.

Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before work begins.

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:

  • Do not wait for a blockage to book a clean
  • Do not rely on hot water to clear grease
  • Let us know if the kitchen gets busier
  • Wipe grease off pans before washing them

Once the trap is cleaned and refitted, the sinks can be used right away. Water is run through to check everything flows before we go.

Slow sinks and a bad smell are early warnings. Acting at this stage usually prevents a blockage later.

What staff can safely do

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.

A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.

Multi-site and managed buildings

When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.

From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with photos.
