About our grease trap cleaning in Old Alresford
Kitchens in Old Alresford 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 the kitchen keeps running. If you’re dealing with an interceptor full of grease and solids and a bad smell from the sinks or drains, we can help.
Rural kitchens may drain to a septic tank or a private drain rather than straight into a public sewer, so keeping fat out with a working grease trap matters even more.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

Why it’s worth doing now in Old Alresford

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.

Keeping the system healthy
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Collect waste cooking oil separately
- Report slow or smelly sinks early
- Hot water only moves grease further down
- Don’t store things on top of the trap
Collect waste cooking oil separately rather than pouring it down the sink and the trap won’t fill as quickly. It makes a real difference.
An overfull trap lets grease pass. Cleaning it before it’s full keeps grease out of the drains and avoids a blockage.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that’s where we come in.
What the work involves, part by part
Baffles and outlets
Clean water leaves through the outlet. A blocked outlet stops the trap working.
Inline grease traps
An inline trap sits in the pipework between the kitchen and the drain. They hold more than under-sink units but still fill up.

What grease trap cleaning looks like in Old Alresford
The FSA’s data shows about 4 pubs, bars and clubs registered within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Old Alresford. Wherever they cook, the kitchen and its drains need the same attention as a restaurant’s. It’s Winchester City council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Old Alresford. Grease behind equipment or on a ceiling is the kind of thing an inspection can note. Having the dates of the last deep clean to hand saves digging for them on the day.
A summer deep clean suits schools such as Perins School, as the kitchen can be stripped back with no lunches to serve. If you run event catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Hinton Ampner House is about 4.1 miles south), a deep clean before or after the busy season is worth planning. Hall kitchens near Church of St Mary or elsewhere in Old Alresford may have older sinks and drains, so a grease trap check is worth adding to a deep clean.

How the visit works
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes an hour or two in most kitchens, depending on the size and condition of the trap. If you can send pictures, we can arrive in Old Alresford knowing what to expect.
- We agree a time when the sinks aren’t needed.
- The trap is opened up and checked.
- We remove the grease layer and settled solids.
- We clean the baffles, inlet and outlet.
- We close it up, check it drains and suggest when it needs cleaning again.
Getting ready for the visit
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
How to get a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
