Hampshire · Grease trap cleaning
Grease trap cleaning in Owslebury Bottom, Hampshire
Grease trap cleaning for Owslebury Bottom, from a team that has been trading since 2009. Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus a 24/7 emergency line.
- Drains that gurgle and bubble
- Grease setting in the kitchen pipework
- Scheduled grease trap emptying
Aftercare tips
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Scrape plates and pans into the bin before washing up
- Mention any increase in cooking
- Keep the grease trap on a regular cleaning schedule
- Collect waste cooking oil separately
Between cleans, keep food scraps out of the sink. Sink strainers help catch solids before they reach the trap.
A trap that is left too long stops catching grease. Cleaning it before it’s full keeps grease out of the drains and saves a call-out for a blocked drain.
Grease trap cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Owslebury Bottom
A grease trap catches fats, oils and grease from the kitchen sinks before they reach the drain. As the waste water cools, the grease floats and stays in the trap, and clean water flows on. Over time, the trap fills up and has to be emptied and cleaned. We’re often asked to deal with an interceptor full of grease and solids and an under-sink unit that needs regular emptying, on pot wash sinks, school and care home kitchens and restaurants and takeaways.
In a village or hamlet like Owslebury Bottom, commercial kitchens are few, perhaps a pub, a school or a care home. Each still needs the occasional deep clean and its grease trap kept clear.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with photos, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

When it’s something else
We will not sell you work that does not address the problem, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- A leaking sink waste or trap connection
- Blockages in the public sewer beyond the property
- Drains that are cracked or have collapsed
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Where we work
- Restaurants and takeaways
- Pot wash sinks
- Kitchen waste pipes
- School and care home kitchens
- Under-sink grease traps
- Inline grease traps
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
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.
How we price grease trap cleaning
You will get a fixed price before work begins. It’s based on:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- The condition we find in the survey
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Travel, parking and unloading
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.
Helping us quote
We can often survey from photos. Try to include:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To start, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.

Do I get a report after the visit?
Yes. You get a written report with photos after each visit, covering the work, any areas we couldn’t access and the recommended next date. Kitchen extract cleans to TR19® Grease also get a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
How much notice do you need?

Can you look after several sites?

Where does the grease from the trap go?
We remove all the waste we take out. It isn’t poured back down the drain, of course.
What happens if a grease trap isn’t cleaned?
Grease escapes into the drains when the trap is full. There it hardens on the pipe walls and causes blockages. Keeping the trap clean stops that happening.

What grease trap cleaning looks like in Owslebury Bottom
Food hygiene inspections in Owslebury Bottom are the job of Winchester City council’s environmental health team. Grease behind equipment or on a ceiling is the kind of thing an inspection can note. A record of each deep clean helps show the kitchen is kept in order.
A summer deep clean suits schools such as Owslebury Primary School, as the kitchen can be stripped back with no lunches to serve. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as St John's Rooms And Chapel (about 3.7 miles north-west), cook for long hours, so deep cleans and grease trap work are planned around patients’ meals. Hall and church kitchens, near Church of St Andrew or anywhere around Owslebury Bottom, are used by many hands, and periodic deep cleans and grease trap visits keep them in order.
