About our grease trap cleaning in Over Wallop
Every trap is different. Under-sink units are small and fill quickly and larger traps hold more grease before they fill. We look at the trap, how much the kitchen uses it and how quickly it fills before suggesting how often it needs cleaning. If you are dealing with gurgling drains in the kitchen and a larger grease trap that needs emptying, we can help.
In a village or hamlet like Over Wallop, 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.
We’ve 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 carry full insurance.

If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Peter or elsewhere in Over Wallop, a deep clean and an emptied grease trap before a busy season of events are worth booking.

The process
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, do the work, clear away and leave you the report. On site, the work takes less than an hour for many under-sink units. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Over Wallop before we set off.
- We agree a time when the sinks are not needed.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
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. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Advice
What your team can do, and what needs us
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Different parts, different methods
Under-sink grease traps
We empty and clean under-sink traps without disrupting the rest of the kitchen, and check the lid and seals.
Grease interceptors
A larger unit takes more time to empty and clean and we plan the visit accordingly.
When something else is needed
Not every problem is solved by grease trap cleaning, and we’ll tell you before we start. It doesn’t solve:
- Collapsed or damaged drains, which need a drainage contractor
- Sewer problems outside the premises
- Drains that need jetting rather than trap cleaning
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Where we work
- Pot wash sinks
- Kitchen waste pipes
- Inline grease traps
- School and care home kitchens
- Under-sink grease traps
- Restaurants and takeaways
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
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.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and photos, so records stay tidy.
How we price grease trap cleaning
Your quote is based on your site. We take into account:
- Parking and loading at the site
- How many systems or sites are involved
- The condition we find in the survey
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before work begins.
Asking for a quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- The postcode and the type of business
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
To get a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. We usually come back within one working day.
Over Wallop: your questions answered
Will you come out to Over Wallop?
Yes, Over Wallop is part of our area, however small the site. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Who inspects food businesses in Over Wallop?
Kitchens in Over Wallop are inspected by Test Valley council’s environmental health officers. Keep the dates of your last deep clean and grease trap visit with your food safety records, ready if an officer asks.
What types of premises do you cover?
Commercial premises of every kind: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. Work is timed around how each site runs.
Can you clear our blocked drains as well?
A trap clean removes the grease in the trap, and can clear the problem where the trap was the cause. Blockages further down the drain, or damaged pipework, need a drainage contractor.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. We always survey first, from your pictures and details, or with a visit where necessary. Then you get a fixed quote.
What’s the right interval for grease trap cleaning?
It depends on the size of the trap and how busy the kitchen is. A small trap fills more quickly than a large one and the busier the kitchen, the faster it fills. We’ll recommend a schedule once we have seen it.
Does the report say when we need you again?
Yes. Every report includes a recommended date for the next visit, based on use and what we found.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for anything that can’t wait until a planned visit. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
Common problems we fix in Over Wallop
