Grease trap cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Northney
Grease traps sit between the sinks and the drain, holding back fats, oils and grease. As the waste water cools, the grease floats and stays in the trap while the water carries on to the drain. Over time, the trap fills up and has to be emptied and cleaned. If you have a grease trap that hasn’t been emptied in a long time and a kitchen drain that smells, we can put it right.
In a village or hamlet like Northney, commercial kitchens are few, perhaps a pub, a school or a care home. Wherever there is one, it needs its grease trap and hard-to-reach areas kept clean.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

What affects the cost of grease trap cleaning
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- The number of sites or systems
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before we start.
Asking for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- A few general shots of the system
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Commercial kitchens in Northney
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 5 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses in and around Northney, 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 Northney are the job of Havant council’s environmental health team. Grease behind equipment or on a ceiling is the kind of thing an inspection can note. Photos and dates from each deep clean make a useful record.
A summer deep clean suits schools such as Warblington School, as the kitchen can be stripped back with no lunches to serve. If you look after a hall kitchen near Church of St Peter or anywhere in Northney, a deep clean between busy seasons is easier than a scramble before a big event.
Northney is about 3 miles south-east of Havant, in Hampshire. We carry out grease trap cleaning for commercial premises of every kind in Northney and the rest of Hampshire. Our Hampshire coverage runs to 683 places, Northney among them.
Work in PO11 follows the same survey, fixed quote and written report as everywhere else we cover. That includes premises on Northney Lane, Spinnaker Grange and Northney Road and nearby roads. Other places close to Northney include North Hayling (1 mile south), Warblington (1 mile north), Tye (1 mile south), Stoke (1 mile south-west) and Langstone (1 mile north-west). Further out, we also cover Gosport (8 miles west), Havant (3 miles north-west), Fareham (10 miles west), Horndean (6 miles north), Waterlooville (5 miles north-west) and Petersfield (12 miles north).
Local landmarks in Northney

What your team can do, and what needs us
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Do you need grease trap cleaning in Northney?
Food waste slips past sink strainers or gets rinsed down. It settles in the trap as solids and takes up space.
Clients usually contact us when they notice something like this:
- Drains clogged with fat
- A small trap that fills too quickly
- Drains that gurgle and bubble
- Foul odours from the grease trap
Warblington Castle, about 1.1 miles north, is one of the historic houses around Northney; event kitchens at places like that work in bursts, so a deep clean after a busy season helps.

FAQs for Northney
Will you come out to Northney?
Yes, Northney is part of our area, however small the site. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Which council inspects kitchens in Northney?
Kitchens in Northney are inspected by Havant council’s environmental health officers. How often a business is inspected depends on the council’s risk rating for it, so the kitchen needs to be ready at any time.
What does a grease trap clean cost?
It depends on the type and size of the trap, its condition and access. Send us details or a photo and we will come back with a fixed price.
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.
What happens to the waste?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, including grease, debris and dirty water. None of it is left on site.
Will cleaning the grease trap fix a blocked drain?
A trap clean removes the grease in the trap and that may solve a slow drain caused by the trap. Blockages further down the drain, or damaged pipework, need a drainage contractor.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, any time. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line, and we’ll advise on what to do next.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, we’re fully insured. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor for clients who vet their contractors.
Why it’s worth doing now in Northney
Once the trap is full, grease heads for the drain. There it sets and narrows the pipe, until the drain blocks. Regular trap cleaning beats dealing with a blockage. It’s simpler to plan the work at Northney now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
What you pay depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.

What happens on the day
There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, while signing off means the written report and pictures. The middle part takes longest, and that takes an hour or so for an under-sink trap, longer for a larger unit. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Northney.
- A visit is booked around your service.
- The trap is opened up and checked.
- Built-up grease and food waste are taken out.
- We clean the baffles, inlet and outlet.
- We close it up, check it drains and suggest when it needs cleaning again.
Preparing for the visit
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
Getting a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts.
