Grease trap cleaning in Peel Common, done properly
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. We are often asked to deal with drains that gurgle and bubble and a regular cleaning plan for the grease trap, on restaurants and takeaways, school and care home kitchens and under-sink grease traps.
In rural areas, a kitchen may drain to a private system rather than a public sewer, so keeping fat out with a working grease trap matters even more.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with pictures after every visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Why deal with it now?
Once the trap is full, grease heads for the drain. There it sets and narrows the pipe, until the drain blocks. Cleaning the trap regularly is far easier than clearing a blocked drain. With notice, the visit to Peel Common can be fitted around your bookings and events.
The cost depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
Why book with us
- A fixed price before any work starts
- Full insurance on every job
- One number for every site across the South East and London
- Survey first, then a fixed quote

Commercial kitchens in Peel Common
There are about 37 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 21 sandwich bars and takeaways in and around Peel Common, up to about a mile and a half out, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. A grease trap in kitchens like these fills steadily and needs emptying before it overflows. Environmental health officers from Gosport council inspect food businesses in Peel Common. The state of floors, drains and hard-to-reach corners all feeds into the inspection. Photos and dates from each deep clean make a useful record.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Gosport War Memorial Hospital about 2.8 miles south-east, deep cleans and grease trap visits are planned so meals still go out. If you look after a hall kitchen near Peel Common Mission Church or anywhere in Peel Common, a deep clean between busy seasons is easier than a scramble before a big event.

Your questions about grease trap cleaning in Peel Common
Can a school kitchen in Peel Common be done out of term time?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. With about 19 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Peel Common, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Just ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with your term dates and we will plan around them.
Can you come to Peel Common after we close?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. It means the site in Peel Common keeps running as normal. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we will book within them.
What problems does a full grease trap cause?
An overfull trap lets grease into the drains. It sets there and narrows the pipes until they block. Regular cleaning prevents it.
How much notice do you need?
For planned work, earlier is better, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
It depends on the building. The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, facilities manager or managing agent.
What happens to the waste?
It leaves the site with us at the end of the visit. While we work, it’s kept contained so the area stays clean.
How long does a grease trap clean take?
Each trap is a little different, but a clean generally takes an hour or so for an under-sink trap, longer for a larger unit. We’ll confirm when we quote.
Do you work in Peel Common?
Yes. Our technicians work in Peel Common, as part of our area across London and the South East.
When to call us in Peel Common
In Peel Common, as everywhere, grease traps are easy to forget. Hidden under a sink or in a floor it’s often left until there’s a problem.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- A grease trap that hasn’t been emptied in a long time
- Gurgling from the sink waste
- A routine grease trap service
- A larger grease trap that needs emptying
School kitchens, at schools like Peel Common Junior School for example, usually have their deep cleans and grease trap work done while the canteen is closed.
Questions to ask before you book
- Proof of insurance
- What records you will receive afterwards
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- Whether the figure could change on the day
Keeping the system healthy
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Collect waste cooking oil separately
- Fit sink strainers to catch food scraps
- Keep access to the trap clear
- Get food waste into the bin, not the sink
Keep used oil out of the drains and the trap won’t fill as quickly. It makes a real difference.
A fixed cleaning interval means the trap never gets overfull. The interval is set to suit the trap and the kitchen.
How the visit works
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes anything from under an hour to a few hours, depending on the trap. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Peel Common.
- A visit is booked around your service.
- We open the trap and look at its condition.
- Built-up grease and food waste are taken out.
- The inside, baffles and outlet are cleaned.
- The trap is closed, tested and the next clean discussed.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
How to get a quote
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, pictures of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.

What else we do in Peel Common
What your team can do, and what needs us
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.
