Grease trap cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Longstock
Grease is behind most blocked kitchen drains. Further on, grease can build into fatbergs in the sewer. A well-maintained trap holds them back. If you’re dealing with a small trap that fills too quickly and gurgling from the sink waste, we can help, from inline grease traps, school and care home kitchens and kitchen waste pipes onwards.
Somewhere as small as Longstock, the kitchens that need a deep clean are typically a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still needs the occasional deep clean and its grease trap kept clear.
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. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Part by part
Under-sink grease traps
An under-sink trap is out of sight. A full one shows itself with a slow, smelly sink.
Restaurant and takeaway kitchens
A blocked drain in a busy kitchen can stop service. Keeping the trap clean reduces the risk.
Between visits
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Wipe grease off pans before washing them
- Keep the grease trap on a regular cleaning schedule
- Collect waste cooking oil separately
- Mention any increase in cooking
Keep used oil out of the drains and the trap won’t fill as quickly. It makes a real difference.
Setting regular cleans takes the guesswork out. The interval is set to suit the trap and the kitchen.

Fixed quotes for grease trap cleaning in Longstock
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- The scale of the work
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before any work starts.
Helping us quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:

For grease trap cleaning in Longstock, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email. Let us know the site type and the opening hours, and send photos or your last report if you can. A fixed quote typically follows within one working day.
Multi-site and managed buildings
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and photos, so records stay tidy.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit ends with a dated report and pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Longstock: your questions answered
Can you work in Longstock outside opening hours?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. That way a site in Longstock doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Which council inspects kitchens in Longstock?
Food hygiene inspections in Longstock are carried out by Test Valley council. Keep the dates of your last deep clean and grease trap visit with your food safety records, ready if an officer asks.
Are you insured?
Yes, fully. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor, for sites that check contractor safety.
What do you do with what you remove?
We take it away at the end of the visit. While we work, it’s kept contained so the area stays clean.
Which sectors do you work in?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, plus food production and leisure sites.
How long does a grease trap clean take?
A typical clean takes a short visit for a small trap and longer for an inline unit or interceptor including checking it drains. We plan the visit around your service.
What problems does a full grease trap cause?
An overfull trap lets grease into the drains. There it hardens on the pipe walls until they block. Regular cleaning prevents it.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it, and the quote is based on that.
Grease trap cleaning in Longstock: local notes
Kitchens in Longstock get their food hygiene inspections from Test Valley council. Grease behind equipment or on a ceiling is the kind of thing an inspection can note. A cleaning log that includes deep cleans and grease trap visits shows the work is planned.

Where a church or community hall near Church of St Mary, or anywhere in Longstock, has a kitchen used by volunteers, a periodic deep clean keeps it ready for the next event.

Advice
Leave it or put it right?
Grease that leaves the kitchen ends up somewhere. It can build up in the drains and join fatbergs in the sewer. A well-maintained trap keeps it where it can be removed. Planning a trip to Longstock ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
We don’t list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we will explain what it covers.
