Grease trap cleaning in Rogate, Hampshire
Grease trap cleaning for Rogate, from a team that has been trading since 2009. Out-of-hours visits and 24/7 emergency callout.

About our grease trap cleaning in Rogate
In Rogate, we time grease trap visits so the sinks aren’t needed. We empty, clean and check the trap, and the waste is taken away. It can be booked on its own or alongside other kitchen work. If you are dealing with scheduled grease trap emptying and an under-sink unit that needs regular emptying, we can help, from pot wash sinks, restaurants and takeaways and under-sink grease traps onwards.
Rural kitchens may drain to a septic tank or a private drain rather than straight into a public sewer, and fat getting past a grease trap can cause real trouble there.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with pictures, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
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.
When to call us in Rogate
The more a kitchen cooks and washes up, the quicker the trap fills. Traps sized for lighter use can struggle when cooking increases.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- Foul odours from the grease trap
- A slow-draining kitchen sink
- A grease trap that hasn’t been emptied in a long time
- An under-sink trap that keeps filling up
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Petersfield Community Hospital about 4 miles west, deep cleans and grease trap visits are planned so meals still go out.
Before booking anyone
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- Whether they recommend a next date
- What insurance they carry
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
Between visits
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Keep the grease trap on a regular cleaning schedule
- Do not store things on top of the trap
- Report slow or smelly sinks early
- Tell us if your menu or hours change
Anything we notice beyond the trap, like a slow drain downstream, is pointed out. It may need a drainage specialist to look further.
A trap that’s left too long stops catching grease. Cleaning it before it’s full keeps grease out of the drains and saves a call-out for a blocked drain.
Why act early in Rogate
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 fault that closes a site in a village like Rogate affects everyone who depends on it.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before work begins.

- We remove the grease layer and settled solids.
- The inside, baffles and outlet are cleaned.
- The trap is closed, tested and the next clean discussed.

How we price grease trap cleaning
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- The condition we find in the survey
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are unsure, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line for straight advice and a fixed quote.

What to send for a quote:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
