- Drains clogged with fat
- An interceptor full of grease and solids
- Drains that gurgle and bubble
Why deal with it now?
Pouring hot water or chemicals down a slow drain is a common quick fix. That only moves the grease further down the pipe to set somewhere harder to reach. Emptying and cleaning the trap deals with the source. Rural sites can’t always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before any work starts.

Grease trap cleaning in Perham Down
Every trap is different. Under-sink traps are compact and need frequent attention, while inline traps and interceptors hold more. We look at the trap, how much the kitchen uses it and how quickly it fills before suggesting how often it needs cleaning. Typical jobs include an inline trap or interceptor due for cleaning and a grease trap that hasn’t been emptied in a long time, on kitchen waste pipes, pot wash sinks and school and care home kitchens.
In a village or hamlet like Perham Down, 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.
A written report with photos follows every visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

For landlords and multi-site operators
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We are happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
What we do, step by step
Night work is normal for us. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so the site can open as normal afterwards. On site, the work takes an hour or so for an under-sink trap, longer for a larger unit. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Perham Down, let us know and we’ll plan around it.
- First, we find the trap and look at its connections.
- We make sure nothing drains into the trap.
- We empty out the fat, oil, grease and solids.
- We clean every part of the inside.
- The trap is refitted, tested with water and the waste taken away.
Preparing for the visit
- Move anything stored near the system
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas

Advice
Perham Down questions
Do you work overnight in Perham Down?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. That way a site in Perham Down doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Will you come out to Perham Down?
Yes, Perham Down is part of our area, however small the site. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
Not in itself. TR19® is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs check against, and many insurance policies ask for proof of TR19® cleaning. The law behind it is the Fire Safety Order 2005 in England and Wales.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, plus food production and leisure sites.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Photos often do the job, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, fully. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it, for sites that check contractor safety.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we’ll suggest a schedule and quote for it.
Do you recommend a next date?
Yes. How often depends on use and condition and the report sets out why.
Perham Down kitchens: local notes
It’s Test Valley council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Perham Down. 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.
A summer deep clean suits schools such as The Wellington Academy, as the kitchen can be stripped back with no lunches to serve. Hall and church kitchens, near Church of St James or anywhere around Perham Down, are used by many hands, and periodic deep cleans and grease trap visits keep them in order.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
