Lockerley grease trap cleaning
Grease trap cleaning for Lockerley and the surrounding area: diagnosis first, then a fixed quote, the work and a report with photos. Call for a fixed quote.
- An under-sink trap that keeps filling up
- An interceptor full of grease and solids
- A bad smell from the sinks or drains
What we do, step by step
There are three stages on the day: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, and the sign-off is a written report with pictures. The middle part takes longest, and that takes anything from under an hour to a few hours, depending on the trap. If you can send pictures, we can arrive in Lockerley knowing what to expect.
- A visit is booked around your service.
- We open the trap and look at its condition.
- We remove the grease layer and settled solids.
- The inside, baffles and outlet are cleaned.
- We close it up, check it drains and suggest when it needs cleaning again.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move anything stored near the system
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
How to get a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
Advice

Questions from Lockerley
Can you come to Lockerley after we close?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. It means the site in Lockerley keeps running as normal. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Lockerley?
The local authority for Lockerley is Test Valley council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. An officer may look behind equipment and at drains, so it pays to have the deep clean booked before those areas build up.
How long does a grease trap clean take?
The size and state of the trap make the difference, and you can expect it to take less than an hour for many under-sink units. We will confirm when we quote.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line and we will talk you through the next steps.
Where does the grease from the trap go?
We take the grease and solids away with us. You are not left with anything to dispose of after the visit.
Why does a grease trap need regular cleaning?
Grease escapes into the drains when the trap is full. It sets there and narrows the pipes until they block. Keeping the trap clean stops that happening.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and we will quote them together.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we will suggest a schedule and quote for it.
Looking after it afterwards
So the system stays in good health:
- Use strainers in the sink plugholes
- Avoid pouring boiling water down to shift grease
- Make sure the trap can be reached easily
- Let us know if the kitchen gets busier
Scrape plates into the bin before washing up. Use strainers in the sink plugholes before they reach the trap.
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.
Fixed quotes for grease trap cleaning in Lockerley

- One-off work versus a regular cycle

You will not find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll talk you through it.
What we need to know

Grease trap cleaning in Lockerley: local notes
In Lockerley, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Test Valley council. An inspection covers the structure of the kitchen as well as the food. Photos and dates from each deep clean make a useful record.
A summer deep clean suits schools such as Lockerley Church of England Endowed Primary School, as the kitchen can be stripped back with no lunches to serve. Where a church or community hall near Church of St John, or anywhere in Lockerley, has a kitchen used by volunteers, a periodic deep clean keeps it ready for the next event.

Leave it or put it right?
A full grease trap lets grease through to the drains. It hardens on the pipe walls, until the drain blocks. Cleaning the trap regularly is far easier than clearing a blocked drain. Planning a trip to Lockerley ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we’ll price it together.

When to call us in Lockerley
If a trap isn’t emptied, grease passes straight through. It goes on into the drain and on towards the sewer, where it can form blockages.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Grease setting in the kitchen pipework
- An overdue grease trap
- Washing-up water that will not drain away
- Gurgling drains in the kitchen
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Romsey Community Hospital (about 4.9 miles south-east), cook for long hours, so deep cleans and grease trap work are planned around patients’ meals.
What your quote should include
- What hours they’ll be on site
- What insurance they carry
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- If they look at the system before pricing
