Signs you need grease trap cleaning in Penton Corner
If a trap is not emptied, grease passes straight through. It goes on into the drain and the sewer beyond, where it can cause blockages.
Clients normally contact us after spotting one of these:
- Grease setting in the kitchen pipework
- An overdue grease trap
- A slow-draining kitchen sink
- Foul odours from the grease trap
Hall kitchens near Holy Trinity Church or elsewhere in Penton Corner may have older sinks and drains, so a grease trap check is worth adding to a deep clean.

How we handle grease trap cleaning in Penton Corner
A clean trap means flowing drains and no foul smells. We empty the built-up grease and food solids, clean the inside and the baffles, and check the trap is working properly. Typical jobs include drains clogged with fat and an under-sink trap that keeps filling up, on kitchen waste pipes, under-sink grease traps and inline grease traps.
Somewhere as small as Penton Corner, the kitchens that need a deep clean are typically a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Wherever there is one, it needs its grease trap and hard-to-reach areas kept clean.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

What we do, step by step
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, isolate whatever needs isolating, carry out the grease trap cleaning, tidy up and leave you the report. On site, the work takes an hour or two in most kitchens, depending on the size and condition of the trap. Somewhere as small as Penton Corner, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- We find the trap and check how it’s connected.
- The sinks feeding the trap are kept out of use while we work.
- Built-up fat, oil and grease is removed from the trap.
- Every part of the trap is scraped and cleaned, including the baffles.
- Once it’s refitted, water is run through to check it drains, and we take the waste with us.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet

Ask for 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 we can price many jobs without a visit.
Advice
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
What a clean will not put right
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Blockages in the public sewer beyond the property
- A unit that cannot cope with the kitchen’s output
- Grease set hard in the drain run
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will say what we think.

Grease trap cleaning around Penton Corner

Pub and hotel kitchens get the same build-up behind equipment and in the grease trap as any other.

Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Penton Corner?
Kitchens in Penton Corner are inspected by Test Valley council’s environmental health officers. Photos from a deep clean are a simple record of what was done and when.
Can you clear our blocked drains as well?
That depends on the cause. If the trap is full, cleaning it often helps, but blockages further along need a drainage contractor.
Which accreditations do you hold?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We’re fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
How much notice should we give?
For planned work, earlier is better, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
What types of grease trap do you clean?
Both under-sink and inline traps, plus interceptors. A photo helps us see what’s fitted and we’ll confirm.
How do you protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. The work is kept contained and leave the area clean.
How much does grease trap cleaning cost?
Trap size, type, condition and access all affect the price. Tell us about the trap and we’ll come back with a fixed price.
Part by part
Restaurant and takeaway kitchens
Busy kitchens cannot afford a blocked drain. Regular trap cleaning helps prevent it.
Baffles and outlets
Baffles inside the trap slow the water so grease can separate. They gather grease and debris, so we clean them.
For landlords and multi-site operators
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 to a regular schedule.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
