Inline grease traps
Several sinks may drain into one inline trap. More waste means faster filling.
Under-sink grease traps
Under-sink traps are cleaned in a short visit, and check the lid and seals.
Grease trap cleaning in Ramsdean
Think of the grease trap as a filter for the kitchen’s drains. Kept clean, it does its job quietly but left too long, it causes trouble. Routine cleaning keeps it in good working order. Common call-outs are for a blocked kitchen drain caused by grease and a kitchen drain that smells, on under-sink grease traps, kitchen waste pipes and pot wash sinks.
Work in a small place like Ramsdean starts with agreeing a date and access.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with photos, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

FAQs for Ramsdean
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Ramsdean?
Kitchens in Ramsdean 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.
Will you come out to Ramsdean?
Yes. Ramsdean is within the area we cover across London and the South East. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
What do you do with what you remove?
It leaves the site with us when we go. During the work, it’s contained to keep the area clean.
Can you clear our blocked drains as well?
We clean the trap, not the drain network. If the drain beyond the trap is blocked or damaged, we will tell you and suggest a drainage contractor.
Do I get a report after the visit?
Yes, on every job. It’s a dated, written report with photos, plus a certificate via the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal for TR19® Grease cleans. File it with your fire safety records.
What should go in our maintenance log?
Every certificate and report from each visit, filed in the maintenance log with your in-house cleaning records. BESA says certificates should show the date, location and technician.
How regularly does a grease trap need emptying?
It varies. We look at how full the trap is and how quickly it fills and we will advise on timing.
How do you protect the area?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before work begins, and waste is contained as we go. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
How we price grease trap cleaning
We don’t publish a price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:
- The condition we find in the survey
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Parking and loading at the site
You will not find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we will talk you through it.
What to send for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- The postcode and the type of business
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To get going, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
What staff can safely do
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Grease trap cleaning around Ramsdean
Ramsdean, about 52 miles from central London, is within our usual area. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours. It’s East Hampshire council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Ramsdean. They look at the cleanliness of the whole kitchen: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment. Keeping a record of deep cleans and grease trap visits helps at inspection time.
Half-term is a good time for school kitchens, at schools like Langrish Primary School for instance, to have the grease trap emptied and the kitchen deep cleaned. Hall and church kitchens, near Church of St John the Evangelist or anywhere around Ramsdean, are used by many hands, and periodic deep cleans and grease trap visits keep them in order.

Do you need grease trap cleaning in Ramsdean?
Oil tipped down the drain instead of being collected overloads the trap fast. Even small amounts add up.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- A grease trap that hasn’t been emptied in a long time
- A kitchen drain that smells
- Washing-up water that won’t drain away
- Drains clogged with fat
Healthcare kitchens cook through the year, so a deep clean has to be fitted around meals; Petersfield Community Hospital, about 2.2 miles east, is the nearest hospital to Ramsdean.
