Grease trap cleaning in Micheldever, done properly
Grease is behind most blocked kitchen drains. Further on, grease can build into fatbergs in the sewer. A well-maintained trap keeps them out of the drains. Typical jobs include an overdue grease trap and a bad smell from the sinks or drains, across school and care home kitchens, restaurants and takeaways and inline grease traps.
In a village or hamlet like Micheldever, commercial kitchens are few, perhaps a pub, a school or a care home. Each still needs the occasional deep clean and its grease trap kept clear.
A written report with pictures follows every visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Micheldever kitchens: local notes
At about 56 miles from central London, Micheldever sits well inside the area we cover. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you. Food hygiene inspections in Micheldever are the job of Winchester City council’s environmental health team. They look at the cleanliness of the whole kitchen: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment. Photos and dates from each deep clean make a useful record.
Half-term is a good time for school kitchens, at schools like Micheldever CofE Primary School for instance, to have the grease trap emptied and the kitchen deep cleaned. If you look after a hall kitchen near Church of St Mary or anywhere in Micheldever, a deep clean between busy seasons is easier than a scramble before a big event.

What affects the quote in Micheldever
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- The size of the system
- What state the system is in
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we survey first, from photos or on site, and why the quote is fixed before we start.
What to send for a quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. Try to include:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Any previous report or certificate
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
To get a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. You will usually have a quote within one working day.
Keeping the system healthy
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Get food waste into the bin, not the sink
- Hot water only moves grease further down
- Keep access to the trap clear
- Tell us when sinks start draining slowly
Keep used oil out of the drains, and the trap will stay cleaner for longer. It’s the single easiest way to help.
If the kitchen has got busier, the trap fills faster. Shortening the cleaning interval now keeps the drains flowing.
Leave it or put it right?
A dirty grease trap smells. Rotting food and grease give off foul odours that can reach the kitchen and beyond. A clean trap takes the source away. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Micheldever is calmer for everyone.
What you pay depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.

FAQs for Micheldever
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Micheldever?
In Micheldever, it’s Winchester City council that carries out food hygiene inspections. An officer may look behind equipment and at drains, so it pays to have the deep clean booked before those areas build up.
Will you come out to Micheldever?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
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 fixed quote is built on it.
Do you take the waste away?
It’s removed from site when we leave. Your staff do not have to handle it after we’ve finished.
Do the sinks have to be out of use during the clean?
The sinks that drain into the trap can’t be used while it’s open. That is why we time visits around service so the kitchen is not held up.
What’s TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked and expects a risk-based approach.
How far ahead should we book?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
What does a grease trap clean cost?
Trap size, type, condition and access all affect the price. Tell us about the trap and we’ll send you a fixed quote.
When it’s something else
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Drains that need jetting rather than trap cleaning
- Broken pipework below ground
- A grease trap that’s too small for the kitchen
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What the work covers
- School and care home kitchens
- Kitchen waste pipes
- Inline grease traps
- Pot wash sinks
- Restaurants and takeaways
- Under-sink grease traps
Different parts, different methods
Restaurant and takeaway kitchens
Busy kitchens can’t afford a blocked drain. Keeping the trap clean reduces the risk.
Inline grease traps
An inline trap sits in the pipework between the kitchen and the drain. They hold more than under-sink units but still fill up.

How it works
Each visit runs to the same pattern: protect the area, make the system safe, carry out the grease trap cleaning, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. On site, the work takes anything from under an hour to a few hours, depending on the trap. Seeing the system in pictures first means the trip to Micheldever can be planned properly.
- First, we find the trap and look at its connections.
- Sinks feeding the trap are taken out of use.
- Grease and solids are removed from the trap.
- We clean every part of the inside.
- We refit it, run water through and remove the waste.
Before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Tell us where we can park and unload
