Grease trap cleaning for kitchens and businesses in North Street
Grease is behind most blocked kitchen drains. Down the line, they can add to fatbergs in the sewer. A grease trap that is emptied and cleaned regularly keeps them out of the drains. The work covers kitchen waste pipes, school and care home kitchens and restaurants and takeaways, and the jobs we see most are gurgling drains in the kitchen and foul odours from the grease trap.
Somewhere as small as North Street, the kitchens that need a deep clean are usually 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.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with pictures of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Your questions about grease trap cleaning in North Street
Do you work overnight in North Street?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. It means the site in North Street keeps running as normal. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we’ll book within them.
Who inspects food businesses in North Street?
Kitchens in North Street are inspected by East Hampshire council’s environmental health officers. Inspection results feed into the food hygiene rating published by the Food Standards Agency.
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.
What do you do to protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before we start, and anything we remove is contained. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
How long does a grease trap clean take?
Typically, it takes an hour or so for an under-sink trap, longer for a larger unit. A large or very full trap takes longer and we will say so when we quote.
What types of grease trap do you clean?
Both under-sink and inline traps, plus interceptors. A photo helps us see what’s fitted and we’ll confirm.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so sites at different addresses can be planned together as one programme. Each site gets its own report and photos.
Where does the grease from the trap go?
The fat, oil, grease and solids we remove go with us. None of it goes back into the drains at any point.
Why it’s worth doing now in North Street
A full grease trap lets grease through to the drains. It hardens on the pipe walls, until the drain blocks. Cleaning the trap regularly is far easier than clearing a blocked drain. It’s simpler to plan the work at North Street now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. You will have a fixed price before work begins.

What grease trap cleaning looks like in North Street
About 51 miles out from central London, North Street is part of the South East area we work across. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site. It’s East Hampshire council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in North Street. The state of floors, drains and hard-to-reach corners all feeds into the inspection. Photos and dates from each deep clean make a useful record.
Hall kitchens near Church of St Peter or elsewhere in North Street may have older sinks and drains, so a grease trap check is worth adding to a deep clean. Alton Community Hospital, about 5.1 miles north-east, is the nearest hospital to North Street; healthcare kitchens can’t stop cooking, so deep cleans are worked around meal times. If you cater for weddings or events at a historic house in the area (Bentworth Hall is about 3.9 miles north), deep cleans can be fitted between bookings.

We can work out of hours so trading isn’t interrupted. North Street is one of 683 towns, villages and districts in Hampshire we cover for grease trap cleaning.

What else we do in North Street
How it works
We are used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so the site can open as normal afterwards. On site, the work takes less than an hour for many under-sink units. In a small place like North Street, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- We locate the trap and check how it’s fitted.
- We make sure nothing drains into the trap.
- Grease and solids are removed from the trap.
- The chambers and baffles are cleaned.
- We refit it, run water through and remove the waste.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
How to get a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: 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.

When something else is needed
Grease trap cleaning cannot fix everything, and we will tell you before work begins. It won’t put right:
- Drains that need jetting rather than trap cleaning
- Broken pipework below ground
- A trap undersized for the amount of cooking
If you’re not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
What the work covers
- Restaurants and takeaways
- Inline grease traps
- Pot wash sinks
- Under-sink grease traps
- School and care home kitchens
- Kitchen waste pipes
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
For landlords and multi-site operators
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so records stay tidy.
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with pictures.
Between visits
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Tell us when sinks start draining slowly
- Fit sink strainers to catch food scraps
- Don’t wait for a blockage to book a clean
- Keep waste oil out of the drains
The waste we remove leaves with us. Nothing is left for you to dispose of when we’re done.
An overfull trap lets grease pass. Regular emptying keeps it working and saves a call-out for a blocked drain.
Different parts, different methods
School, care home and staff kitchens
Kitchens that serve set mealtimes fill their traps more steadily. A regular interval suits them well.
Grease interceptors
Interceptors take longer to clean and we plan the visit accordingly.
