Managing agents and facilities teams in Nutbourne
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
How we handle grease trap cleaning in Nutbourne
Kitchens in Nutbourne use us for grease trap cleaning, whether it’s an under-sink unit or a larger inline trap. We come when the sinks aren’t needed so washing up is not interrupted. The work covers school and care home kitchens, under-sink grease traps and kitchen waste pipes, and the jobs we see most are a full, neglected grease trap and drains clogged with fat.
Work in a small place like Nutbourne starts with agreeing a date and access.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

Aftercare tips
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Let us know if the kitchen gets busier
- Don’t store things on top of the trap
- Do not rely on hot water to clear grease
- Fit sink strainers to catch food scraps
Keep used oil out of the drains, and the trap will stay cleaner for longer. It makes a real difference.
A trap that’s left too long stops catching grease. Cleaning it before it’s full keeps grease out of the drains and avoids a blockage.
Signs you need grease trap cleaning in Nutbourne
If a trap is not emptied, grease passes straight through. It goes on into the drain and the sewer beyond, where it can form blockages.
What we’re most often called out for:
- An under-sink unit that needs regular emptying
- A regular cleaning plan for the grease trap
- Foul odours from the grease trap
- Gurgling drains in the kitchen
Half-term is a good time for school kitchens, at schools like West Chiltington Community Primary School for instance, to have the grease trap emptied and the kitchen deep cleaned.

What a clean will not put right
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

- A leaking sink waste or trap connection

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
The process
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and the same goes into the written report. All told, the work takes less than an hour for many under-sink units. The timing of a visit to Nutbourne is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- A visit is booked around your service.
- We open the trap and look at its condition.
- Built-up grease and food waste are taken out.
- We clean the baffles, inlet and outlet.
- The trap is closed, tested and the next clean discussed.
How to prepare
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Move anything stored near the system
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
