Your questions about grease trap cleaning in New Copse
Who inspects food businesses in New Copse?
That is East Hampshire council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in New Copse. Keep the dates of your last deep clean and grease trap visit with your food safety records, ready if an officer asks.
Is New Copse within the area you cover?
Yes. New Copse is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a single café to a large school. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. We always survey first, either from pictures and details you send or on a site visit. Then you get a fixed quote.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so we can schedule a run of sites on one programme. Every site has its own report.
What types of grease trap do you clean?
Under-sink and inline grease traps, and larger interceptors. They’re emptied, cleaned and checked whatever the size.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before any work starts, and waste is contained as we go. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and the details are available on request.
Grease trap cleaning for kitchens and businesses in New Copse
In New Copse, we time grease trap visits so the sinks aren’t needed. The trap is emptied, cleaned and checked, and the waste is taken away. It works on its own or with a deep clean or extract clean. The work covers restaurants and takeaways, under-sink grease traps and kitchen waste pipes, and people most often call us about sinks that drain slowly and an inline trap or interceptor due for cleaning.
Somewhere as small as New Copse, the kitchens that need a deep clean are normally a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Wherever there is one, it needs its grease trap and hard-to-reach areas kept clean.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Grease trap cleaning around New Copse
Kitchens in New Copse get their food hygiene inspections from East Hampshire council. Grease behind equipment or on a ceiling is the kind of thing an inspection can note. A record of each deep clean helps show the kitchen is kept in order. We cover New Copse, about 49 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours.
If you run event catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Bentworth Hall is about 0.9 miles north-east), a deep clean before or after the busy season is worth planning. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Alton Community Hospital (about 3.2 miles east), cook for long hours, so deep cleans and grease trap work are planned around patients’ meals.
New Copse is about 4 miles west of Alton, in Hampshire. From the centre of New Copse to the outskirts, we cover grease trap cleaning for every kind of premises, from a single unit to a large public building. Our area takes in 683 places across Hampshire, large and small. Our Southampton page covers sites nearby (21 miles or so).

What grease trap cleaning cannot fix
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Drains that are cracked or have collapsed
- Blockages further down the drainage network
- Grease deep in the drains, which needs jetting by a drainage contractor
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think.
What the work covers
- Pot wash sinks
- Under-sink grease traps
- Restaurants and takeaways
- Kitchen waste pipes
- Inline grease traps
- School and care home kitchens
Common problems we fix in New Copse
Hot water and detergent carry grease further than you’d expect. Once it cools, it sets, often in the trap or the pipe beyond.
The symptoms we’re asked about most include:
- A routine grease trap service
- Grease setting in the kitchen pipework
- A kitchen drain that smells
- A full, neglected grease trap
Where a church or community hall near Church of St Andrew, or anywhere in New Copse, has a kitchen used by volunteers, a periodic deep clean keeps it ready for the next event.

What the work involves, part by part
Under-sink grease traps
We empty and clean under-sink traps without disrupting the rest of the kitchen and check the seal on the lid.
Restaurant and takeaway kitchens
Busy kitchens can’t afford a blocked drain. Regular trap cleaning helps prevent it.
The process
Protection comes first: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. Then we make the system safe and start. It takes an hour or so for an under-sink trap, longer for a larger unit, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. Somewhere like New Copse, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- We find the trap and check how it’s connected.
- Nothing drains into the trap while it’s open.
- Built-up fat, oil and grease is removed from the trap.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Let us know about parking and loading
Getting a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Related advice
Looking after it afterwards
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep waste oil out of the drains
- Report slow or smelly sinks early
- Book trap cleans at a set interval
- Avoid pouring boiling water down to shift grease
We take the grease and solids away. Nothing is left for you to dispose of when we are done.
More cooking means more grease in the trap. Booking cleans more often stops it overflowing.
Why it’s worth doing now in New Copse
Pests are drawn to grease and food waste. A clean trap is less of an attraction, alongside good kitchen hygiene. A planned visit to New Copse is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that is where we come in.
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.
