About our grease trap cleaning in North Waltham
Every trap is different. Under-sink units are small and fill quickly and larger traps hold more grease before they fill. We assess the trap and how fast it fills before suggesting how often it needs cleaning. The work covers school and care home kitchens, under-sink grease traps and inline grease traps, and common reasons people get in touch are grease setting in the kitchen pipework and sinks that drain slowly.
Somewhere as small as North Waltham, 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.
We’ve been trading since 2009, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.

Grease trap cleaning in North Waltham: local notes
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 4 restaurants, cafés and canteens in and around North Waltham, up to about a mile and a half out. Each of them sends fat, oil and grease towards the drain, which is why grease traps need regular emptying. At about 51 miles from central London, North Waltham sits well inside the area we cover. Visits are booked around your hours, evenings and weekends included. Environmental health officers from Basingstoke and Deane council inspect food businesses in North Waltham. The state of floors, drains and hard-to-reach corners all feeds into the inspection. A cleaning log that includes deep cleans and grease trap visits shows the work is planned.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St. Michael's or elsewhere in North Waltham, a deep clean and an emptied grease trap before a busy season of events are worth booking. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Park Prewett Hospital (about 5.6 miles north-east), cook for long hours, so deep cleans and grease trap work are planned around patients’ meals.

Near you in North Waltham
Locally, jobs take us to businesses close to The Fox pub. The closest station to North Waltham is Micheldever station, about 3.6 miles south-west of the centre. Nearby you’ll also find Park Prewett Hospital (5.6 miles north-east). For a walk, there’s Farleigh Hill.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
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. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
What happens on the day
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and the same goes into the written report. The visit takes an hour or so for an under-sink trap, longer for a larger unit. A few photos of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like North Waltham.
- We find the trap and check how it’s connected.
- We ask for the sinks that drain into the trap not to be used.
- We take out the layer of fat, oil and grease and any solids.
- 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 where we can park and unload
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
Getting a quote
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, and then give you a fixed quote. To get going, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Related advice
Between visits
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Let us know if the kitchen gets busier
- Keep the grease trap on a regular cleaning schedule
- Report slow or smelly sinks early
- Avoid pouring boiling water down to shift grease
Once the trap is cleaned and refitted, the sinks can be used right away. We run water through to check it drains before we go.
Slow sinks and a bad smell are early warnings. Acting at this stage typically prevents a blockage down the line.
Why it’s worth doing now in North Waltham
Grease that gets past the trap doesn’t disappear. It adds to blockages further down the drains and sewer. A well-maintained trap keeps it where it can be removed. If the system at a site near North Waltham fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.

Common questions in North Waltham
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in North Waltham?
That is Basingstoke and Deane council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in North Waltham. Keep the dates of your last deep clean and grease trap visit with your food safety records, ready if an officer asks.
Can a school kitchen in North Waltham be done out of term time?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. There are about 2 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of North Waltham. Tell us your holiday dates and we’ll book the visit for when the site is empty.
What is TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It is not law, but it’s the benchmark.
Will you tell us when the next visit is due?
Yes. How often depends on use and condition and the report sets out why.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and we can share the details when you need them.
How much notice do you need?
For planned work, earlier is better, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
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.
Where does the grease from the trap go?
The waste leaves with us. Nothing greasy is left on site when we go.
Common problems we fix in North Waltham
Food waste slips past sink strainers or gets rinsed down. Solids settle at the bottom of the trap and takes up space.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- An under-sink unit that needs regular emptying
- Drains that gurgle and bubble
- A full, neglected grease trap
- Washing-up water that won’t drain away
School kitchens, at schools like North Waltham Primary School for example, typically have their deep cleans and grease trap work done while the canteen is closed.
