Grease Trap Cleaning in Rotherwick
For grease trap cleaning in Rotherwick, one call is all it takes, from survey to sign-off. Fully insured, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001.
- A full, neglected grease trap
- Foul odours from the grease trap
- A small trap that fills too quickly
Why deal with it now?
Some kitchens try to fix slow drains with hot water or drain cleaners. It just shifts the grease further along to set somewhere harder to reach. Emptying and cleaning the trap deals with the source. In a small place like Rotherwick, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
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, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

Grease trap cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Rotherwick
Kitchens in Rotherwick use us for grease trap cleaning, whether it’s an under-sink unit or a larger inline trap. We come when the sinks are not needed, so the kitchen keeps running. The work covers school and care home kitchens, kitchen waste pipes and restaurants and takeaways, and the jobs we see most are a bad smell from the sinks or drains and sinks that drain slowly.
In rural areas, a kitchen may drain to a private system rather than a public sewer, and fat getting past a grease trap can cause real trouble there.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

What happens on the day
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. From there, it takes less than an hour for many under-sink units. Somewhere like Rotherwick, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- First, we find the trap and look at its connections.
- Sinks feeding the trap are taken out of use.
- Grease and solids are removed from the trap.
- We clean every part of the inside.
- We refit it, run water through and remove the waste.
Before we arrive
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Clear loose items from the work area

Advice
Rotherwick kitchens: local notes
Food Standards Agency records include about 3 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Rotherwick. Where they run a kitchen, it needs the same deep cleaning and grease trap care as any restaurant. Food hygiene inspections in Rotherwick are the job of Hart council’s environmental health team. An inspection covers the structure of the kitchen as well as the food. Keeping a record of deep cleans and grease trap visits helps at inspection time. Rotherwick is about 40 miles from central London, well within the area we cover across London and the South East. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site.
School kitchens, at schools like Whitewater Church of England Primary School for example, usually have their deep cleans and grease trap work done while the canteen is closed. If you cater for weddings or events at a historic house in the area (Stratfield Saye House is about 3.2 miles north), deep cleans can be fitted between bookings.
Rotherwick is about 6 miles west of Fleet, in Hampshire. We carry out grease trap cleaning for commercial premises of every kind in Rotherwick and the rest of Hampshire.

How the job changes from site to site
Baffles and outlets
Every clean includes the baffles, inlet and outlet so the trap works as it should.
Inline grease traps
Access to an inline trap can be in a floor or cupboard. We check how to reach it before the visit.
Signs you need grease trap cleaning in Rotherwick
Fats, oils and grease from cooking and washing up go down the sink. In the trap, they cool and separate, and the layer gets thicker day by day.
Most sites get in touch when they notice one of these:
- An interceptor full of grease and solids
- An under-sink trap that keeps filling up
- Drains clogged with fat
- Scheduled grease trap emptying
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Fleet Community Hospital about 5.5 miles east, deep cleans and grease trap visits are planned so meals still go out.

Rotherwick: your questions answered
Can you get to a site in Rotherwick?
Yes, Rotherwick is part of our area, however small the site. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Rotherwick?
Kitchens in Rotherwick are inspected by Hart council’s environmental health officers. Inspection results feed into the food hygiene rating published by the Food Standards Agency.
Are you accredited?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We’ve been trading since 2009 and we’re fully insured.
What do you do with the waste?
It’s removed from site when we leave. There’s nothing left for your team to deal with once the clean is done.
Will the grease trap clean disrupt the kitchen?
For the length of the clean, yes. It takes anything from under an hour to a few hours, depending on the trap and we book it around your service.
What types of grease trap do you clean?
We clean under-sink traps, inline traps and interceptors. Let us know what’s fitted and we’ll plan around it.
How do you protect the area?
Protection goes down first: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Photos often do the job, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
What a clean will not put right
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- A leaking sink waste or trap connection
- Blockages further down the drainage network
- Collapsed or damaged drains, which need a drainage contractor
If you’re not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
What the work covers
- Kitchen waste pipes
- Under-sink grease traps
- Inline grease traps
- Pot wash sinks
- School and care home kitchens
- Restaurants and takeaways
