For landlords and multi-site operators
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Grease trap cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Phoenix Green
If the sinks drain slowly or smell, the trap is often the cause. In Phoenix Green, as everywhere we work, our team empties and cleans the trap and run water through to check it drains. Typical jobs include a blocked kitchen drain caused by grease and a regular cleaning plan for the grease trap, on pot wash sinks, restaurants and takeaways and under-sink grease traps.
Rural kitchens may drain to a septic tank or a private drain rather than straight into a public sewer, so keeping fat out with a working grease trap matters even more.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Grease trap cleaning in Phoenix Green: local notes
The FSA’s data shows about 4 pubs and bars registered within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Phoenix Green. Where they run a kitchen, it needs the same deep cleaning and grease trap care as any restaurant. Environmental health officers from Hart council inspect food businesses in Phoenix Green. An inspection covers the structure of the kitchen as well as the food. A cleaning log that includes deep cleans and grease trap visits shows the work is planned.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Fleet Community Hospital about 2.7 miles east, deep cleans and grease trap visits are planned so meals still go out. Half-term is a good time for school kitchens, at schools like Greenfields Junior School for instance, to have the grease trap emptied and the kitchen deep cleaned.

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, next to our reports.
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
The process
There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, while signing off means the written report and photos. The middle part takes longest, which takes an hour or so for an under-sink trap, longer for a larger unit. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Phoenix Green and turn up when the site is quiet.
- We agree a time when the sinks aren’t needed.
- We open the trap and look at its condition.
- Built-up grease and food waste are taken out.
- We clean the baffles, inlet and outlet.
- The trap is closed, tested and the next clean discussed.
Before we arrive
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Clear the space around the work

Advice
Places near Phoenix Green
What else we do in Phoenix Green
How the job changes from site to site
Restaurant and takeaway kitchens
A blocked drain in a busy kitchen can stop service. Keeping the trap clean reduces the risk.
Grease interceptors
Bigger kitchens may have a larger grease interceptor. With more capacity, they fill more slowly, but they still need regular emptying and cleaning.
When it’s something else
Grease trap cleaning can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not put right:
- Drains that need jetting rather than trap cleaning
- Drains that are cracked or have collapsed
- Blockages further down the drainage network
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will tell you honestly.
Parts of the system we cover
- Restaurants and takeaways
- Kitchen waste pipes
- School and care home kitchens
- Inline grease traps
- Under-sink grease traps
- Pot wash sinks
Signs you need grease trap cleaning in Phoenix Green
Every pan and plate washed sends grease towards the drain. They cool and float to the top of the trap, and the layer gets thicker day by day.
Clients typically contact us after spotting something like this:
- Gurgling drains in the kitchen
- A grease trap that hasn’t been emptied in a long time
- A blocked kitchen drain caused by grease
- An under-sink unit that needs regular emptying
If you run a kitchen near Winchfield station with long trading hours, grease builds up faster behind equipment and in the trap.

Keeping the system healthy
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Tell us when sinks start draining slowly
- Scrape plates and pans into the bin before washing up
- Don’t store things on top of the trap
- Book trap cleans at a set interval
Between cleans, keep food scraps out of the sink. Use strainers in the sink plugholes before they reach the trap.
If the sinks are slow or smelly, the trap may be full. Acting at this stage usually prevents a blockage later.
Common questions in Phoenix Green
Do you work in villages like Phoenix Green?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Phoenix Green is covered. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Phoenix Green?
Kitchens in Phoenix Green are inspected by Hart council’s environmental health officers. Photos from a deep clean are a simple record of what was done and when.
What types of grease trap do you clean?
Under-sink and inline grease traps, and larger interceptors. They’re emptied, cleaned and checked whatever the size.
Do we need to stop using the sinks while you work?
The sinks that drain into the trap cannot be used while it’s open. That’s why we time visits around service so the kitchen is not held up.
Does the report say when we need you again?
Yes. Every report includes a recommended date for the next visit, based on what we found and how the system is used.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a single café to a large school. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
How much time does a grease trap clean need?
The size and state of the trap make the difference, and you can expect it to take anything from under an hour to a few hours, depending on the trap. You will know before the visit.
What problems does a full grease trap cause?
Grease escapes into the drains when the trap is full. It sets there and narrows the pipes until they block. Regular cleaning prevents it.
