Mapledurwell grease trap cleaning
Grease trap cleaning for Mapledurwell, from a team that has been trading since 2009. Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus a 24/7 emergency line.

- A kitchen drain that smells

When to call us in Mapledurwell
Food waste slips past sink strainers or gets rinsed down. Solids settle at the bottom of the trap and fill it from below.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- An overdue grease trap
- A larger grease trap that needs emptying
- A routine grease trap service
- An under-sink unit that needs regular emptying
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Basingstoke and North Hampshire Hospital about 4.2 miles west, deep cleans and grease trap visits are planned so meals still go out.

Grease trap cleaning in Mapledurwell, done properly
A clean trap means flowing drains and no foul smells. We empty the built-up grease and food solids and the chambers and baffles cleaned and the trap checked before we leave. The work covers restaurants and takeaways, school and care home kitchens and inline grease traps, and people most often call us about grease setting in the kitchen pipework and washing-up water that won’t drain away.
Work in a small place like Mapledurwell starts with agreeing a date and access, and the deep clean is the same as anywhere: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment.
We’ve been trading since 2009, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.

What happens if it’s left?
A dirty grease trap smells. Decomposing waste in the trap smells bad that can reach the kitchen and beyond. Cleaning it removes the cause. A fault that closes a site in a village like Mapledurwell affects everyone who depends on it.
The cost depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
What you get with us
- Fixed quotes, normally within one working day
- We’re fully insured
- A single point of contact for sites across the South East and London
- In business since 2009

The process
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes an hour or so for an under-sink trap, longer for a larger unit. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Mapledurwell, let us know and we’ll plan around it.
- We find the trap and check how it’s connected.
- We ask for the sinks that drain into the trap not to be used.
- We take out the layer of fat, oil and grease and any solids.
- We clean the chambers, baffles and connections.
- The trap is reassembled, checked for leaks and the waste taken away.
Before we arrive
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Clear the space around the work
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids

Common questions in Mapledurwell
Do you work at weekends in Mapledurwell?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. It means the site in Mapledurwell keeps running as normal. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Who inspects food businesses in Mapledurwell?
That’s Basingstoke and Deane council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Mapledurwell. Keep the dates of your last deep clean and grease trap visit with your food safety records, ready if an officer asks.
Who is the responsible person?
The law calls them the responsible person. That’s generally the employer or the person in control of the premises, and where several people have control, each can have duties. Your lease and fire risk assessment should make it clear.
Can you give me a price for grease trap cleaning?
Trap size, type, condition and access all affect the price. Tell us about the trap and we’ll come back with a fixed price.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not normally. The area we’re working in has to be out of use while we are there, so the visit goes in a quiet slot.
What’s the right interval for grease trap cleaning?
That depends on the trap and the kitchen. Small under-sink units fill faster than larger traps and the busier the kitchen, the faster it fills. We’ll recommend a schedule once we have seen it.
Do you cover Mapledurwell?
Yes. We work across Greater London, Surrey, Kent, Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Essex, and that includes Mapledurwell.
What do you do to protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. We keep the work contained and clean down when we finish.
What grease trap cleaning cannot fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work will not fix:
- Grease set hard in the drain run
- Sewer problems outside the premises
- A leaking sink waste or trap connection
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll say what we think before you book.

How the job changes from site to site
Grease interceptors
Grease interceptors are larger units that serve busier kitchens. They hold more grease and solids but they still need cleaning.
School, care home and staff kitchens
In schools, grease traps can be cleaned when the kitchen is closed or after lunch service.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Every visit ends with a dated report and photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Mapledurwell and across Hampshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
