Grease trap cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Sandleheath
No two traps are quite the same. Under-sink units are small and fill quickly, while inline traps and interceptors hold more. We assess the trap and how fast it fills and suggest an interval that suits. If you have gurgling from the sink waste and scheduled grease trap emptying, we can put it right, from restaurants and takeaways, inline grease traps and kitchen waste pipes onwards.
For a kitchen in or near Sandleheath, the visit is planned ahead, around opening times and the journey.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

How we price grease trap cleaning
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The number of sites or systems
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- What state the system is in
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before we start.
What to send for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:
- The postcode and the type of business
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Any previous report or certificate
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
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, which is where we come in.
The process
The visit has three parts: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, and the sign-off is a written report with photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, which takes a short visit for a small trap and longer for an inline unit or interceptor. If you can send photos, we can arrive in Sandleheath knowing what to expect.
- A visit is booked around your service.
- The trap is opened up and checked.
- Built-up grease and food waste are taken out.
- We clean the baffles, inlet and outlet.
- We close it up, check it drains and suggest when it needs cleaning again.
Before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
How to get a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: 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 many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Advice
What grease trap cleaning cannot fix
Before you book, it helps to know what’s not included:
- A unit that can’t cope with the kitchen’s output
- Drains that need jetting rather than trap cleaning
- Plumbing leaks around the sink
If you’re not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Where we work
- Inline grease traps
- School and care home kitchens
- Restaurants and takeaways
- Kitchen waste pipes
- Under-sink grease traps
- Pot wash sinks
Looking after it afterwards
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Keep strainers in every sink
- Get food waste into the bin, not the sink
- Book trap cleans at a set interval
- Don’t rely on hot water to clear grease
Scrape plates into the bin before washing up. Use strainers in the sink plugholes so less solid waste gets through.
A trap that is 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 Sandleheath
Pouring hot water or chemicals down a slow drain is a common quick fix. That only moves the grease further down the pipe, where it sets again. The lasting fix starts with the trap. It’s simpler to plan the work at Sandleheath now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
You won’t find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll talk you through it.

Sandleheath questions
Can you come to Sandleheath after we close?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. Your customers, staff or residents in Sandleheath needn’t be disturbed. Just call 0345 646 2711, or email photos with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Will you come out to Sandleheath?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Do you provide a certificate or report?
Yes. It’s the record insurers and inspectors ask to see: a dated report with photos, listing the work and any areas we couldn’t reach.
Do you take the waste away?
The waste leaves with us. You are not left with anything to dispose of after the visit.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a small pub to a hospital. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so sites at different addresses can be planned together on one programme. Every site has its own report.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and we can share the details when you need them.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
Anything we can’t reach goes on the report, with a note of where it is, and we explain what access is needed, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
How the job changes from site to site
Grease interceptors
Bigger kitchens may have a larger grease interceptor. They hold more grease and solids but they still need cleaning.
Inline grease traps
Several sinks may drain into one inline trap. More waste means faster filling.
What else we do in Sandleheath
Commercial kitchens in Sandleheath
There are about 4 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens across Sandleheath and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half), according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. A grease trap in kitchens like these fills steadily and needs emptying before it overflows. In Sandleheath, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from New Forest council. An inspection covers the structure of the kitchen as well as the food. A record of each deep clean helps show the kitchen is kept in order.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Sandleheath Uniting Church or elsewhere in Sandleheath, a deep clean and an emptied grease trap before a busy season of events are worth booking. If you run event catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Breamore House is about 3.1 miles north-east), a deep clean before or after the busy season is worth planning. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as The Burgate School and Sixth Form or anywhere near Sandleheath, the holidays are the time for a deep clean or a grease trap clean.
