Grease trap cleaning around Maybush
Food Standards Agency records include about 27 pubs and bars in Maybush and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Any of them serving food has a kitchen that collects grease out of sight and drains that need protecting. In Maybush, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Southampton council. Grease behind equipment or on a ceiling is the kind of thing an inspection can note. Photos and dates from each deep clean make a useful record.
If you look after a hall kitchen near St Peter's Church or anywhere in Maybush, a deep clean between busy seasons is easier than a scramble before a big event. If you run a kitchen in an older building near Maybush, such as a historic house like Southampton Tudor House and Garden (about 2.9 miles south-east), older drains make a working grease trap all the more important.

How we handle grease trap cleaning in Maybush
For kitchens across Maybush, grease trap cleaning fits easily around service. The trap is emptied, cleaned and checked, and the waste is taken away. It can be booked on its own or alongside other kitchen work. If you are dealing with a kitchen drain that smells and sinks that drain slowly, we can put it right, from school and care home kitchens, inline grease traps and kitchen waste pipes onwards.
In a smaller place like Maybush, commercial kitchens are more likely to be a pub, a café, a takeaway or a school or care home kitchen. A smaller kitchen still builds up grease where everyday cleaning doesn’t reach.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

How the job changes from site to site
Under-sink grease traps
An under-sink trap is out of sight. When they fill, the sink slows and starts to smell.
Baffles and outlets
The baffles hold back grease while water flows on. They gather grease and debris so they’re cleaned every time.
Leave it or put it right?
A blocked drain can stop a kitchen in its tracks. Water won’t drain away and waste water can come back up. Cleaning the grease trap on time helps prevent it. Booking ahead lets us plan the trip to Maybush at a time that suits you.
The cost depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.

Common problems we fix in Maybush
Every pan and plate washed sends grease towards the drain. In the trap, they cool and separate, and the layer gets thicker day by day.
The symptoms we are asked about most include:
- A blocked kitchen drain caused by grease
- Sinks that drain slowly
- An overdue grease trap
- A regular cleaning plan for the grease trap
Western Community Hospital, about under half a mile south, is the nearest hospital to Maybush; healthcare kitchens cannot stop cooking, so deep cleans are worked around meal times.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.

Do you look at the system first?
Yes, always. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it and the fixed quote is built on it.
How much time does a grease trap clean need?
Each trap is a little different, but a clean generally takes less than an hour for many under-sink units. You’ll know before the visit.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.

What affects the cost of grease trap cleaning
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- The scale of the work
- The condition of the system
- How easy every part is to reach
We do not list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we’ll talk you through it.
What to send for a quote
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
Every quote begins with a look at the system, 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 so you know the cost before we start.
What a clean will not put right
We won’t sell you work that does not address the problem, so these are the things it will not cover:
- A trap undersized for the amount of cooking
- Sewer problems outside the premises
- Broken pipework below ground
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll give you a straight answer.
