Grease trap cleaning in Little London, done properly
Smells from the sink, gurgling drains or slow drainage all point to the grease trap. We find the trap, empty it and clean it and run water through to check it drains. If you have an inline trap or interceptor due for cleaning and scheduled grease trap emptying, we can help.
For a kitchen in or near Little London, the visit is planned ahead, around opening times and the journey.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

What affects the cost of grease trap cleaning
The survey tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- The times the site is available
- The size of the system
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Whether several sites go on one quote
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before work begins.
What to send for a quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Any previous report or certificate
- A few general shots of the system
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your photos and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before work begins.
What grease trap cleaning looks like in Little London
Food Standards Agency records include about 3 pubs and bars in and around Little London, up to about a mile and a half out. Pub and hotel kitchens get the same build-up behind equipment and in the grease trap as any other. Environmental health officers from Basingstoke and Deane council inspect food businesses in Little London. An inspection covers the structure of the kitchen as well as the food. Having the dates of the last deep clean to hand saves digging for them on the day. We cover Little London, about 45 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours.
Basingstoke and North Hampshire Hospital, about 3.6 miles south, is the nearest hospital to Little London; healthcare kitchens can’t stop cooking, so deep cleans are worked around meal times. If you run event catering at a historic house or estate in the area (The Vyne is about 1.9 miles south-east), a deep clean before or after the busy season is worth planning. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Saint Stephen's Church or elsewhere in Little London, a deep clean and an emptied grease trap before a busy season of events are worth booking.

Little London’s nearest station is Bramley (Hants) station, about 2.1 miles east of the centre. Other landmarks nearby include Calleva Museum (1.7 miles north) and Basing House (5 miles south-east).

Aftercare tips
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Do not store things on top of the trap
- Use strainers in the sink plugholes
- Hot water only moves grease further down
- Tell us if your menu or hours change
The sinks are ready to use as soon as we’ve finished. We run water through to check it drains before we go.
Grease that gets past the trap sets in the drains. Clearing it then is a bigger job so prevention is the easier route.
Little London: your questions answered
Can you work in school kitchens in Little London during the holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. Food Standards Agency records list about 4 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Little London. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Do you work at weekends in Little London?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The site is handed back ready to open. When you call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos, mention when the site is quiet.
Do you deal with blocked drains beyond the grease trap?
We clean the trap, not the drain network. Where the problem is further down the drain, we will say so so you can call a drainage contractor.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, depending on what the system needs.
How do you protect the area?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before we start, and anything we remove is contained. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, 24/7. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
What problems does a full grease trap cause?
An overfull trap stops separating grease. Slow drains, bad smells and blockages follow.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site across London and the South East, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
The process
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool before any work starts, and the area around the work is covered and protected. The work itself takes a short visit for a small trap and longer for an inline unit or interceptor. In a small place like Little London, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- First, we find the trap and look at its connections.
- Sinks feeding the trap are taken out of use.
- We empty out the fat, oil, grease and solids.
- The chambers and baffles are cleaned.
- The trap is refitted, tested with water and the waste taken away.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive

Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Related advice
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Why deal with it now?
A dirty grease trap smells. Rotting food and grease give off foul odours that can reach the kitchen and beyond. Cleaning it removes the cause. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.

Different parts, different methods
Inline grease traps
Inline traps often take waste from several sinks or appliances. That means more grease, so regular cleaning matters.
Restaurant and takeaway kitchens
We time visits to avoid service so the kitchen isn’t disrupted.
Honest limits
Before booking, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Drains that need jetting rather than trap cleaning
- A leaking sink waste or trap connection
- Collapsed or damaged drains, which need a drainage contractor
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will tell you honestly.
