Grease trap cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Old Basing
Grease is behind most blocked kitchen drains. Down the line, they can add to fatbergs in the sewer. A well-maintained trap holds them back. If you have a full, neglected grease trap and an inline trap or interceptor due for cleaning, we can put it right.
Around a place like Old Basing, deep clean work tends to mean pubs, cafés and school or care home kitchens. A smaller kitchen still builds up grease where everyday cleaning doesn’t reach.
We have been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

How it works
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool before we start, and the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes an hour or so for an under-sink trap, longer for a larger unit. In a place like Old Basing, we fit the visit around your hours.
- We start by finding the trap and checking its inlet and outlet.
- We ask for the sinks that drain into the trap not to be used.
- The trap is emptied of grease and food waste.
- Every part of the trap is scraped and cleaned, including the baffles.
- The trap is reassembled, checked for leaks and the waste taken away.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend

Advice
FAQs for Old Basing
Can a school kitchen in Old Basing be done out of term time?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. There are about 6 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Old Basing. Tell us your holiday dates and we will book the visit for when the site is empty.
Can you work in Old Basing outside opening hours?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The work in Old Basing can fit around your hours. When you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, mention when the site is quiet.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No, not in itself. TR19® is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs check against, and many insurance policies ask for proof of TR19® cleaning. The legal duty sits in the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 in England and Wales.
How far ahead should we book?
For planned work, earlier is better, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
Which accreditations do you hold?
We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.
Are you insured?
Yes, we are fully insured. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it, for sites that check contractor safety.
Do I get a report after the visit?
Yes, on every job. The report is dated and includes photos, plus a certificate via the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal for TR19® Grease cleans. Keep it in your maintenance log.
What types of premises do you cover?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, as well as food production and leisure sites.
Why deal with it now?
Pests are drawn to grease and food waste. Keeping the trap clean removes something they’re looking for as part of a clean kitchen. In a smaller place like Old Basing, a site that has to close is felt quickly.
What you pay depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.

What the work involves, part by part
Grease interceptors
Interceptors take longer to clean and we allow for that.
Baffles and outlets
The baffles hold back grease while water flows on. Grease clings to them so they’re cleaned every time.
Commercial kitchens in Old Basing
Food Standards Agency records include about 5 bars, pubs and nightclubs within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Old Basing. Wherever they cook, the kitchen and its drains need the same attention as a restaurant’s. Environmental health officers from Basingstoke and Deane council inspect food businesses in Old Basing. An inspection covers the structure of the kitchen as well as the food. Keeping a record of deep cleans and grease trap visits helps at inspection time.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Basingstoke and North Hampshire Hospital (about 3 miles west), cook for long hours, so deep cleans and grease trap work are planned around patients’ meals. Where a church or community hall near Church of St Mary, or anywhere in Old Basing, has a kitchen used by volunteers, a periodic deep clean keeps it ready for the next event. If you run event catering at a historic house or estate in the area (The Vyne is about 3.3 miles north-west), a deep clean before or after the busy season is worth planning.
