How we handle grease trap cleaning in Oakshott
A grease trap is the kitchen drain’s first line of protection. Kept clean, it does its job quietly, but neglected, it causes blockages and smells. Routine cleaning keeps it in good working order. We are often asked to deal with a kitchen drain that smells and a slow-draining kitchen sink, on pot wash sinks, school and care home kitchens and kitchen waste pipes.
Somewhere as small as Oakshott, the kitchens that need a deep clean are normally 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’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

Different parts, different methods
Inline grease traps
An inline trap sits in the pipework between the kitchen and the drain. They’re larger than under-sink traps but still need regular emptying.
Under-sink grease traps
An under-sink trap is out of sight. A full one shows itself with a slow, smelly sink.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- Hot water only moves grease further down
- Never pour used oil down the sink
- Get food waste into the bin, not the sink
- Use strainers in the sink plugholes
Scrape plates into the bin before washing up. Use strainers in the sink plugholes so less solid waste gets through.
If the kitchen has got busier, the trap fills faster. Shortening the cleaning interval now keeps the drains flowing.

For a kitchen in Oakshott, a regular grease trap clean is a small, planned job. A blocked drain is an emergency and usually at the worst moment. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.

How it works
We’re used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. The visit itself takes an hour or two in most kitchens, depending on the size and condition of the trap. Somewhere like Oakshott, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- 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.
- The trap is closed, tested and the next clean discussed.
Before we arrive
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas

Related advice
What we’re called out for in Oakshott
If a trap isn’t emptied, grease passes straight through. It then builds up in the drains and the sewer beyond, where it can cause blockages.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Scheduled grease trap emptying
- Drains that gurgle and bubble
- An under-sink trap that keeps filling up
- A slow-draining kitchen sink
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Petersfield Community Hospital about 2.9 miles south, deep cleans and grease trap visits are planned so meals still go out.
What your quote should include
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- How they set the interval to the next visit
