How we handle grease trap cleaning in Nob's Crook
Grease is behind most blocked kitchen drains. Further on, grease can build into fatbergs in the sewer. A well-maintained trap holds them back. The work covers school and care home kitchens, pot wash sinks and kitchen waste pipes, and common reasons people get in touch are a bad smell from the sinks or drains and gurgling drains in the kitchen.
Somewhere as small as Nob's Crook, the kitchens that need a deep clean are typically a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still needs the occasional deep clean and its grease trap kept clear.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

The process
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. On site, the work takes an hour or so for an under-sink trap, longer for a larger unit. In a small place like Nob's Crook, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- We find the trap and check how it’s connected.
- 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.
- The inside, baffles and pipe connections are cleaned.
- The trap is reassembled, checked for leaks and the waste taken away.
How to prepare
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Tell us where we can park and unload
Get a fixed quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
Advice
What affects the cost of grease trap cleaning
You will get a fixed price before work begins. It takes into account:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- The size of the system
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.
What we need to know
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- A few general shots of the system
- The postcode and the type of business
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Your last certificate, test record or report
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your pictures and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price, before work begins.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Common questions in Nob's Crook
Can you come to Nob's Crook after we close?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. That way a site in Nob's Crook does not have to lose a day’s trading. Let us know the hours you are closed and we’ll book within them.
Is Nob's Crook within the area you cover?
Yes, Nob's Crook is part of our area, however small the site. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
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 happens to the waste?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. We do not leave it behind.
How much notice should we give?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
Which records should we keep?
Every certificate and report from each visit, filed in the maintenance log with your in-house cleaning records. BESA advises that certificates record the date, location and technician.
Where does the grease from the trap go?
The waste leaves with us. You’re not left with anything to dispose of when we go.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not normally. The area we are working in has to be out of use while we’re there, so we book a time when it would be closed anyway.
Different parts, different methods
Grease interceptors
Interceptors separate grease the same way, on a larger scale. Grease floats and solids sink.

Nob's Crook kitchens: local notes
The Food Standards Agency lists about 4 pubs, bars and clubs as registered food businesses in and around Nob's Crook, up to about a mile and a half out. Where they run a kitchen, it needs the same deep cleaning and grease trap care as any restaurant. Food hygiene inspections in Nob's Crook are the job of Winchester City council’s environmental health team. The state of floors, drains and hard-to-reach corners all feeds into the inspection. A record of each deep clean helps show the kitchen is kept in order.
