What affects the quote in Pinewood Village
The survey tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- The scale of the work
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before we start.
What we need to know
To speed up the quote, please include:
- Any previous report or certificate
- The site address and the type of premises
- A few general shots of the system
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
We don’t publish a price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To get going, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
How we handle grease trap cleaning in Pinewood Village
No two traps are quite the same. Under-sink traps are compact and need frequent attention, while inline traps and interceptors hold more. We assess the trap and how fast it fills before suggesting how often it needs cleaning. If you are dealing with an inline trap or interceptor due for cleaning and scheduled grease trap emptying, we can put it right, from pot wash sinks, under-sink grease traps and school and care home kitchens onwards.
In a smaller place like Pinewood Village, commercial kitchens are more likely to be a pub, a café, a takeaway or a school or care home kitchen. Smaller kitchens still collect grease behind equipment and in the drains.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That’s why every job is written up in a report with pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

What grease trap cleaning can’t fix
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Grease deep in the drains, which needs jetting by a drainage contractor
- Blockages further down the drainage network
- A grease trap that’s too small for the kitchen
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will say what we think.
What the work covers
- Under-sink grease traps
- Pot wash sinks
- School and care home kitchens
- Kitchen waste pipes
- Restaurants and takeaways
- Inline grease traps
Leave it or put it right?
Once the trap is full, grease heads for the drain. There it sets and narrows the pipe, until the drain blocks. Regular trap cleaning beats dealing with a blockage. Systems on quieter sites still build up dirt and wear, just more slowly.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.

How it works
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and it goes on the report too. All told, the work takes an hour or so for an under-sink trap, longer for a larger unit. Visits to a place like Pinewood Village are planned ahead, so we arrive with what the survey says the job needs.
- A visit is booked around your service.
- The trap is opened up and checked.
- Built-up grease and food waste are taken out.
- The inside, baffles and outlet are cleaned.
- We close it up, check it drains and suggest when it needs cleaning again.
Getting ready for the visit
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Move anything stored near the system

FAQs for Pinewood Village
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Pinewood Village?
Kitchens in Pinewood Village are inspected by East Hampshire council’s environmental health officers. Keep the dates of your last deep clean and grease trap visit with your food safety records, ready if an officer asks.
Can a school kitchen in Pinewood Village be done out of term time?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. With about 3 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Pinewood Village, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We carry full insurance, and we’ve been trading since 2009.
Can you clear our blocked drains as well?
We clean the trap, not the drain network. Where the problem is further down the drain, we’ll say so so you can call a drainage contractor.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
We record them on the report, with a note of where it is, and we tell you what would make it reachable, for example new access panels.
How long will the sinks be out of use?
Each trap is a little different, and you can expect it to take less than an hour for many under-sink units. We will confirm when we quote.
Do you clean under-sink and inline grease traps?
We clean all the common types. If you are not sure what you have, send us a photo and we will confirm.
Do you work in Pinewood Village?
Yes. Pinewood Village is part of the area we cover, within the South East and London area we cover.
How the job changes from site to site
Restaurant and takeaway kitchens
Busy kitchens cannot afford a blocked drain. Keeping the trap clean reduces the risk.
Inline grease traps
Several sinks may drain into one inline trap. That means more grease, so regular cleaning matters.
When to call us in Pinewood Village
Food scraps go down the sink with the washing-up water. Solids settle at the bottom of the trap and fill it from below.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- An under-sink unit that needs regular emptying
- Gurgling from the sink waste
- Scheduled grease trap emptying
- Sinks that drain slowly
A summer deep clean suits schools such as Bordon Junior School, as the kitchen can be stripped back with no lunches to serve.

Any of them serving food has a kitchen that collects grease out of sight and drains that need protecting.

Between visits
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Wipe grease off pans before washing them
- Tell us if your menu or hours change
- Avoid pouring boiling water down to shift grease
- Collect waste cooking oil separately
If we spot problems beyond the trap, such as a drain that still runs slowly, we’ll tell you. That may need a drainage contractor to investigate.
If the sinks are slow or smelly, the trap may be full. Getting it cleaned now can stop a full blockage later.
