Grease trap cleaning in Netley, done properly
A grease trap is the kitchen drain’s first line of protection. When it’s looked after, you hardly know it’s there, but neglected, it causes blockages and smells. A regular clean keeps it healthy. If you’re dealing with a kitchen drain that smells and an overdue grease trap, we can put it right.
In a smaller place like Netley, 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.
A written report with photos 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.

What affects the quote in Netley
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before work begins.

For landlords and multi-site operators
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Netley and across Hampshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
What staff can safely do
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.
Why act early in Netley
Grease that gets past the trap doesn’t disappear. It can build up in the drains and join fatbergs in the sewer. Keeping it in the trap, and emptying the trap, is the responsible thing to do. It’s better to plan the work at a site near Netley than wait for a failure.
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 talk you through it.

What the work involves, part by part
Inline grease traps
Inline traps may be under a floor panel or in a cupboard. We check how to reach it before the visit.
Grease interceptors
Interceptors separate grease the same way, on a larger scale. Cooling water lets grease rise and solids settle.
What grease trap cleaning looks like in Netley
There are about 22 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 15 sandwich bars and takeaways within about 1.5 miles of central Netley, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. A grease trap in kitchens like these fills steadily and needs emptying before it overflows. Food hygiene inspections in Netley are the job of Eastleigh council’s environmental health team. Grease behind equipment or on a ceiling is the kind of thing an inspection can note. Keeping a record of deep cleans and grease trap visits helps at inspection time.
Hall and church kitchens, near Church of St Edward the Confessor or anywhere around Netley, are used by many hands, and periodic deep cleans and grease trap visits keep them in order. If you run a café or takeaway near Netley station, a deep clean overnight means the kitchen opens as normal next morning.

Common questions in Netley
Do you work overnight in Netley?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The work in Netley can fit around your hours. When you phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, mention when the site is quiet.
Will you come out to Netley?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Netley is covered. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
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 will send you a fixed quote.
What about areas you cannot get to?
They’re marked on the report. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, which we can install.
How often should a grease trap be cleaned?
It depends on the size of the trap and how busy the kitchen is. Small under-sink units fill faster than larger traps, and busy kitchens fill them faster still. We will suggest an interval after the first clean.
Who is the responsible person?
The Fire Safety Order 2005 calls them the responsible person: normally the employer or whoever controls the premises. In shared or managed buildings, a landlord, facilities manager or managing agent can share the duty.
Where does the grease from the trap go?
We take it away. There’s nothing left for your team to deal with after we’ve finished.
How much time does a grease trap clean need?
A typical clean takes an hour or so for an under-sink trap, longer for a larger unit, including testing. We plan the visit around your service.
What we’re called out for in Netley
Every pan and plate washed sends grease towards the drain. In the trap, they cool and separate and the grease layer grows.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- An inline trap or interceptor due for cleaning
- Foul odours from the grease trap
- An under-sink unit that needs regular emptying
- Gurgling from the sink waste
If you run a care home or healthcare kitchen near Netley (the nearest hospital is Coldeast, about 2.8 miles east), a grease trap on a set schedule avoids a blocked drain mid-service.
