Grease trap cleaning in Passfield, Hampshire

What affects the cost of grease trap cleaning
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The number of sites or systems
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- The condition we find in the survey
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.
What we need to know
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.
Grease trap cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Passfield
No two traps are quite the same. Under-sink units are small and fill quickly and larger traps hold more grease before they fill. We assess the trap and how fast it fills and suggest an interval that suits. Typical jobs include an under-sink trap that keeps filling up and gurgling from the sink waste, across school and care home kitchens, under-sink grease traps and kitchen waste pipes.
Rural kitchens may drain to a septic tank or a private drain rather than straight into a public sewer, and fat getting past a grease trap can cause real trouble there.
Each visit ends with a written report and photos, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Why act early in Passfield
For a kitchen in Passfield, a regular grease trap clean is a small, planned job. A blocked drain is an emergency and normally at the worst moment. Rural sites can’t always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.

Aftercare tips
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Get food waste into the bin, not the sink
- Collect waste cooking oil separately
- Don’t wait for a blockage to book a clean
- Do not store things on top of the trap
The waste we remove leaves with us. Nothing is left for you to dispose of when we’re done.
Setting regular cleans takes the guesswork out. We agree the timing with you.
How the job changes from site to site
Inline grease traps
Access to an inline trap can be in a floor or cupboard. We check how to reach it before the visit.
Restaurant and takeaway kitchens
Busy kitchens can’t afford a blocked drain. Keeping the trap clean reduces the risk.
Grease trap cleaning around Passfield
In Passfield, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from East Hampshire council. They look at the cleanliness of the whole kitchen: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment. Photos and dates from each deep clean make a useful record. Passfield, about 42 miles from central London, is within our usual area. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you.
If you run a care home or healthcare kitchen near Passfield (the nearest hospital is Chase Community Hospital, about 1.5 miles north-west), a grease trap on a set schedule avoids a blocked drain mid-service. Half-term is a good time for school kitchens, at schools like Mill Chase Academy for instance, to have the grease trap emptied and the kitchen deep cleaned.

How the visit works
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and the same goes into the written report. The visit takes an hour or two in most kitchens, depending on the size and condition of the trap. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Passfield run smoothly.
- First, we locate the grease trap and look at the pipework around it.
- The sinks feeding the trap are kept out of use while we work.
- We take out the layer of fat, oil and grease and any solids.
- The inside, baffles and pipe connections are cleaned.
- The trap is reassembled, checked for leaks and the waste taken away.
How to prepare
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
Getting a quote
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 we can price many jobs without a visit.

What staff can safely do
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
Passfield: your questions answered
Can school kitchens in Passfield be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. There are about 2 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Passfield. Tell us your holiday dates and we will book the visit for when the site is empty.
Can you work in Passfield outside opening hours?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. It means the site in Passfield keeps running as normal. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
What accreditations do you have?
Duct Doctor is a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we are fully insured.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, it’s the responsible person: often the employer, owner or occupier. Landlords, facilities managers and managing agents can also hold responsibility.
Will you tell us when the next visit is due?
Yes. The recommended date is on the report. For kitchen extracts, BESA’s minimum intervals run from every 3 months for heavy use to every 12 months for light use, while fire dampers are tested at least annually.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, fully. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor for clients who vet their contractors.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line and we will talk you through the next steps.
Where does the grease from the trap go?
We remove all the waste we take out. None of it goes back into the drains at any point.
Honest limits
Not every problem is solved by grease trap cleaning, and we’d rather say so up front. It doesn’t solve:
- Grease set hard in the drain run
- A trap undersized for the amount of cooking
- Blockages in the public sewer beyond the property
