Grease trap cleaning in Middle Wallop, done properly
In Middle Wallop, we time grease trap visits so the sinks are not needed. The trap is emptied, cleaned and checked and remove the waste. It can be booked on its own or alongside other kitchen work. Common call-outs are for an inline trap or interceptor due for cleaning and washing-up water that won’t drain away, across under-sink grease traps, inline grease traps and pot wash sinks.
For a kitchen in or near Middle Wallop, the visit is planned ahead, around opening times and the journey, and the deep clean is the same as anywhere: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

Your questions about grease trap cleaning in Middle Wallop
Who inspects food businesses in Middle Wallop?
In Middle Wallop, it’s Test Valley council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Inspection results feed into the food hygiene rating published by the Food Standards Agency.
Do you work at weekends in Middle Wallop?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. It means the site in Middle Wallop keeps running as normal. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, every time. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
Do you provide a certificate or report?
Yes, always. The report is dated and includes pictures, and TR19® Grease cleans come with a certificate through the BESCA VHE portal. File it with your fire safety records.
Will cleaning the grease trap fix a blocked drain?
A trap clean removes the grease in the trap and that may solve a slow drain caused by the trap. A blockage deeper in the drains needs a drainage specialist.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not typically. We need the work area to ourselves while we are on site, so we book a time when it would be closed anyway.
What should go in our maintenance log?
Anything that proves the system is maintained: our reports and pictures, any certificates and your in-house logs. One maintenance log per site keeps it simple.
How much does grease trap cleaning cost?
It depends on the type and size of the trap, its condition and access. Tell us about the trap and we’ll come back with a fixed price.
How it works
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the pictures you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, the work takes anything from under an hour to a few hours, depending on the trap. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Middle Wallop and turn up when the site is quiet.
- A visit is booked around your service.
- The trap is opened up and checked.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
How to get a quote

What happens if it’s left?
A smelly, overflowing trap attracts pests. A clean trap is less of an attraction, alongside good kitchen hygiene. In a place like Middle Wallop, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.

Aftercare tips
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Keep strainers in every sink
- Tell us if your menu or hours change
- Tell us when sinks start draining slowly
- Scrape plates and pans into the bin before washing up
Once the trap is cleaned and refitted, the sinks can be used straight away. Water is run through to check everything flows before we go.
Setting regular cleans takes the guesswork out. The interval is set to suit the trap and the kitchen.
