Grease trap cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Newfound
Once a trap is full, grease passes straight through. Fat sets in the pipes downstream and the result is blocked drains and bad smells. Regular cleaning keeps it working. The work covers school and care home kitchens, restaurants and takeaways and pot wash sinks, and the jobs we see most are a routine grease trap service and an interceptor full of grease and solids.
Work in a small place like Newfound starts with agreeing a date and access, and the deep clean is the same as anywhere: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

Grease trap cleaning around Newfound
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 4 pubs, bars and clubs within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Newfound. Wherever food is prepared there, a periodic deep clean and a clear grease trap keep things in order. It’s Basingstoke and Deane council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Newfound. Grease behind equipment or on a ceiling is the kind of thing an inspection can note. Having the dates of the last deep clean to hand saves digging for them on the day.
For schools such as Oakley Infant School, deep cleans and grease trap work are typically booked for the holidays. If you cater for weddings or events at a historic house in the area (The Vyne is about 4.8 miles north-east), deep cleans can be fitted between bookings.

What affects the cost of grease trap cleaning
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- How big the system is
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Travel, parking and unloading
- What state the system is in
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before work begins.
Asking for a quote
We can often survey from photos. The most useful are:
- The site address and the type of premises
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, photos of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
What we are called out for in Newfound
Waste cooking oil poured down the sink overloads the trap fast. Even small amounts add up.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- An under-sink unit that needs regular emptying
- A blocked kitchen drain caused by grease
- An inline trap or interceptor due for cleaning
- An overdue grease trap
If you look after a hall kitchen near St John's or anywhere in Newfound, a deep clean between busy seasons is easier than a scramble before a big event.
Questions to ask before you book
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed
- Whether a survey comes first
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs 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 grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We’re happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
FAQs for Newfound
Do you clean school kitchens in Newfound in the summer holidays?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. There are about 4 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Newfound. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.

Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line and we’ll talk you through the next steps.
What is 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.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. One number covers all your sites across London and the South East, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
What do you do to protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before any work starts, and anything we remove is contained. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
Will the grease trap clean disrupt the kitchen?
Just the sinks that drain into the trap, and only while we work. We plan the visit for a quieter time wherever possible.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, depending on what the system needs.
The process
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool first, and the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes a short visit for a small trap and longer for an inline unit or interceptor. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Newfound, let us know and we will plan around it.
- We start by finding the trap and checking its inlet and outlet.
- We ask for the sinks that drain into the trap not to be used.
- Built-up fat, oil and grease is removed from the trap.
- Every part of the trap is scraped and cleaned, including the baffles.
- We put it back together, run water through and remove the waste.
Before we arrive
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Clear the space around the work

Advice
What the work involves, part by part
Inline grease traps
Several sinks may drain into one inline trap. That means more grease, so regular cleaning matters.
Restaurant and takeaway kitchens
Kitchens that fry and wash up all day fill their traps quickly. A shorter cleaning interval usually suits them.
