When to call us in Preston Candover
A busy kitchen in Preston Candover, or anywhere else, fills its grease trap faster. A trap that suited a quieter kitchen can fill very quickly when trade picks up.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Washing-up water that won’t drain away
- An interceptor full of grease and solids
- Gurgling drains in the kitchen
- A routine grease trap service
Hall kitchens near Church of St. Mary the Virgin or elsewhere in Preston Candover may have older sinks and drains, so a grease trap check is worth adding to a deep clean.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- Proof of insurance
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- How they set the interval to the next visit
About our grease trap cleaning in Preston Candover
Grease traps sit between the sinks and the drain, holding back fats, oils and grease. Cooling water lets the grease rise and separate, and clean water flows on. Eventually it fills and needs emptying and cleaning. The work covers under-sink grease traps, pot wash sinks and kitchen waste pipes, and common reasons people get in touch are gurgling from the sink waste and an under-sink unit that needs regular emptying.
Somewhere as small as Preston Candover, the kitchens that need a deep clean are normally 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.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that is where we come in.
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 something else is needed
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Broken pipework below ground
- A trap undersized for the amount of cooking
- Grease set hard in the drain run
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on in Preston Candover
- Inline grease traps
- School and care home kitchens
- Restaurants and takeaways
- Under-sink grease traps

Why deal with it now?
Grease that gets past the trap does not disappear. It can build up in the drains and join fatbergs in the sewer. A well-maintained trap keeps it where it can be removed. A planned visit to Preston Candover is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
The cost depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.
What you get with us
- Ventilation hygiene specialists since 2009
- Photo reports with every job
- We’re fully insured
- CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, with ISO 9001

Between visits
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Use strainers in the sink plugholes
- Do not wait for a blockage to book a clean
- Report slow or smelly sinks early
- Scrape plates and pans into the bin before washing up
The sinks are ready to use as soon as we have finished. We run water through to check it drains before we leave.
Fat that escapes the trap hardens in the pipework. Clearing it then is a bigger job so prevention is the easier route.

Environmental health officers from Basingstoke and Deane council inspect food businesses in Preston Candover. The state of floors, drains and hard-to-reach corners all feeds into the inspection.

Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
Preston Candover questions
Will you come out to Preston Candover?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Preston Candover included. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Do you work at weekends in Preston Candover?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. Your customers, staff or residents in Preston Candover needn’t be disturbed. When you ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, mention when the site is quiet.
What’s the right interval for grease trap cleaning?
There’s no single answer. We look at how full the trap is and how quickly it fills, then suggest a schedule.
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, which applies in England and Wales.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. For many sites, photos and a few details are enough, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
Does the report say when we need you again?
Yes. How often depends on use and condition, and we explain the reasoning on the report.
Can you give me a price for grease trap cleaning?
No two traps are quite the same, so we price each one individually. You get a fixed quote, typically within one working day.
Can you clear our blocked drains as well?
Cleaning the trap deals with the grease it holds, and can clear the problem where the trap was the cause. A blockage deeper in the drains needs a drainage specialist.
What happens on the day
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your pictures. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, it 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 Preston Candover and turn up when the site is quiet.
- We locate the trap and check how it’s fitted.
- Sinks feeding the trap are taken out of use.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Move anything stored near the system
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
