Grease trap cleaning in Owslebury, done properly
Fats, oils and grease are the main cause of blocked kitchen drains. Down the line, they can add to fatbergs in the sewer. A well-maintained trap keeps them out of the drains. The work covers school and care home kitchens, under-sink grease traps and kitchen waste pipes, and people most often call us about foul odours from the grease trap and an interceptor full of grease and solids.
In a village or hamlet like Owslebury, 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.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.
What grease trap cleaning looks like in Owslebury
Kitchens in Owslebury get their food hygiene inspections from Winchester City council. The state of floors, drains and hard-to-reach corners all feeds into the inspection. A record of each deep clean helps show the kitchen is kept in order.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Owslebury Primary School or anywhere near Owslebury, the holidays are the time for a deep clean or a grease trap clean. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Andrew or elsewhere in Owslebury, a deep clean and an emptied grease trap before a busy season of events are worth booking.

Leave it or put it right?
Grease that leaves the kitchen ends up somewhere. It adds to blockages further down the drains and sewer. Keeping it in the trap, and emptying the trap, is the responsible thing to do. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Owslebury rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered and we’ll price it together.

FAQs for Owslebury
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Owslebury?
That is Winchester City council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Owslebury. Keep the dates of your last deep clean and grease trap visit with your food safety records, ready if an officer asks.
Is Owslebury within the area you cover?
Yes. Owslebury is within the area we cover across London and the South East. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
How do you protect the area?
We start with protection: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
Why does a grease trap need regular cleaning?
Once it’s full, grease passes straight through. The grease hardens in the pipes, leading to blocked drains and smells, and can add to fatbergs in the sewer.
What’s the right interval for grease trap cleaning?
That depends on the trap and the kitchen. A small trap fills more quickly than a large one and the busier the kitchen, the faster it fills. We’ll suggest an interval after the first clean.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a single café to a large school. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
What do you do with the waste?
It’s removed from site when we leave. There’s nothing left for your team to deal with once the clean is done.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so we can schedule a run of sites as one programme. Each site gets its own report and pictures.
When it’s something else
In fairness, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- Blockages in the public sewer beyond the property
- Drains that need jetting rather than trap cleaning
- A leaking sink waste or trap connection
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What the work covers
- School and care home kitchens
- Inline grease traps
- Pot wash sinks
- Kitchen waste pipes
- Under-sink grease traps
- Restaurants and takeaways
Keeping the system healthy
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Report slow or smelly sinks early
- Collect waste cooking oil separately
- Tell us if your menu or hours change
- Wipe grease off pans before washing them
Scrape plates into the bin before washing up. Sink strainers help catch solids before they reach the trap.
Fat that escapes the trap hardens in the pipework. Once it’s there, it needs a drainage contractor to clear, so it’s far better to keep the trap clean.
How the visit works
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. On site, the work takes a short visit for a small trap and longer for an inline unit or interceptor. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Owslebury.
- First, we find the trap and look at its connections.
- We make sure nothing drains into the trap.
- Grease and solids are removed from the trap.
- The chambers and baffles are cleaned.
- We refit it, run water through and remove the waste.
Before we arrive
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Move anything stored near the system
- Let us know about parking and loading

How we price grease trap cleaning
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- Parking and loading at the site
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- The condition of the system
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.
Helping us quote
To help us quote quickly, send us:
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Any previous report or certificate
- The postcode and the type of business
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: 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 many jobs can be priced from that alone.
What we are called out for in Owslebury

- Drains clogged with fat
- A kitchen drain that smells
- Gurgling from the sink waste
