Why it’s worth doing now in Purbrook
A blocked drain can stop a kitchen in its tracks. Water won’t drain away, and dirty water can back up. Cleaning the grease trap on time helps prevent it. Booking now keeps it a routine visit to Purbrook rather than an urgent one.
The cost depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.
Why Purbrook businesses choose us
- A single point of contact for sites across the South East and London
- A written report with photos after every visit
- Fixed quotes, normally within one working day
- We are fully insured

About our grease trap cleaning in Purbrook
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 gurgling drains in the kitchen and drains clogged with fat, on under-sink grease traps, kitchen waste pipes and school and care home kitchens.
Grease traps fill up with fat and food scraps, and once it’s full, fat passes into the drains. Regular emptying and cleaning stops the smells and blockages that follow.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with pictures of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Keeping the system healthy
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Act on gurgling or smelly drains
- Hot water only moves grease further down
- Get food waste into the bin, not the sink
- Don’t store things on top of the trap
Between cleans, keep food scraps out of the sink. Sink strainers help catch solids before they reach the trap.
A trap that’s left too long stops catching grease. Regular emptying keeps it working and saves a call-out for a blocked drain.
When it’s something else
Grease trap cleaning can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It doesn’t solve:
- Broken pipework below ground
- A trap undersized for the amount of cooking
- Blockages further down the drainage network
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll say what we think.

Purbrook questions
Can you come to Purbrook after we close?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The work in Purbrook can fit around your hours. Let us know the hours you are closed and we’ll book within them.
Which council inspects kitchens in Purbrook?
That’s Havant council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Purbrook. An officer may look behind equipment and at drains, so it pays to have the deep clean booked before those areas build up.
What types of premises do you cover?
Commercial premises of every kind: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. Work is timed around how each site runs.
How much notice should we give?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
How long will the sinks be out of use?
A typical clean takes less than an hour for many under-sink units, including testing. It’s booked when the sinks aren’t needed.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, 24/7. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, and the emergency line covers the rest.
Do I get a report after the visit?
Yes. It’s your proof that the work was done: a dated report with photos, listing the work and any areas we couldn’t reach.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
Protection goes down first: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
What affects the cost of grease trap cleaning
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- A single visit or a regular plan
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced 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.
Asking for a quote
What to send for a quote:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, a few photos and any previous report or certificate. Then phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
What grease trap cleaning looks like in Purbrook
Look up Purbrook on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 36 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 29 takeaways within about 1.5 miles of central Purbrook. A grease trap in kitchens like these fills steadily and needs emptying before it overflows. Environmental health officers from Havant council inspect food businesses in Purbrook. Walls, floors, ceilings and equipment are all part of what they look at. A record of each deep clean helps show the kitchen is kept in order.
If you run a care home or healthcare kitchen near Purbrook (the nearest hospital is Queen Alexandra Hospital, about 1.9 miles south-west), a grease trap on a set schedule avoids a blocked drain mid-service. Warblington Castle, about 3.3 miles south-east, is one of the historic houses around Purbrook; event kitchens at places like that work in bursts, so a deep clean after a busy season helps.

What we’re called out for in Purbrook
Every pan and plate washed sends grease towards the drain. In the trap, they cool and separate and the grease layer grows.
These are the problems we see most often:
- A blocked kitchen drain caused by grease
- Foul odours from the grease trap
- Sinks that drain slowly
- An overdue grease trap
If you look after a hall kitchen near Church of St John or anywhere in Purbrook, a deep clean between busy seasons is easier than a scramble before a big event.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
The process
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, isolate whatever needs isolating, carry out the grease trap cleaning, clear away and hand over the paperwork. On site, the work takes less than an hour for many under-sink units. A few photos of the system and its access points help us plan a visit in Purbrook.
- We locate the trap and check how it’s fitted.
- Sinks feeding the trap are taken out of use.
- Grease and solids are removed from the trap.
- The chambers and baffles are cleaned.
- We refit it, run water through and remove the waste.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move anything stored near the system
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
Ask for a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
