Grease trap cleaning in New Alresford
Every trap is different. Under-sink units are small and fill quickly and larger traps hold more grease before they fill. We look at the trap, how much the kitchen uses it and how quickly it fills and suggest an interval that suits. If you have a grease trap that hasn’t been emptied in a long time and drains clogged with fat, we can help.
Work in a smaller place like New Alresford is planned around your opening hours, and the journey is planned ahead.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
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 they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
What happens if it’s left?
For a kitchen in New Alresford, a regular grease trap clean is a small, planned job. A blocked drain is an emergency, often at a busy time. Around New Alresford, a kitchen or building out of action is missed straight away.

How it works
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. The visit takes a short visit for a small trap and longer for an inline unit or interceptor. Tell us about any gates, ladders or locked plant areas at your site near New Alresford when you book.
- First, we locate the grease trap and look at the pipework around it.
- The sinks feeding the trap are kept out of use while we work.
- The trap is emptied of grease and food waste.
- The inside, baffles and pipe connections are cleaned.
- Once it’s refitted, water is run through to check it drains, and we take the waste with us.
Before we arrive
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend

Common questions in New Alresford
Do you cover smaller places like New Alresford?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, New Alresford included. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Do you work overnight in New Alresford?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. Your customers, staff or residents in New Alresford needn’t be disturbed. When you phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, mention when the site is quiet.
Do you clean under-sink and inline grease traps?
We clean all the common types. If you are not sure what you have, send us a photo and we will confirm.
Will you tell us when the next visit is due?
Yes. The recommended date is on the report. BESA’s minimum intervals for kitchen extracts range from 3-monthly for heavy use to 12-monthly for light use, while fire dampers are tested at least annually.
How much notice do you need?
Book as early as you can for planned work, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
How do you protect the area?
We start with protection: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
Where does the grease from the trap go?
We take the grease and solids away with us. You are not left with anything to dispose of after the visit.
Will cleaning the grease trap fix a blocked drain?
It depends where the blockage is. If the trap is full, cleaning it often helps, but blockages further along need a drainage contractor.
Managing agents and facilities teams in New Alresford
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so records stay tidy.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we will come back with a fixed quote.
What affects the quote in New Alresford
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- What state the system is in
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re not sure what’s needed, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
Asking for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:
- Any previous report or certificate
- A few general shots of the system
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
