Grease trap cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Segensworth
A neglected grease trap stops doing its job. Further down the pipe, the grease cools and hardens, leading to slow drains, blockages and smells. A trap that is cleaned regularly keeps grease where it belongs. The work covers pot wash sinks, kitchen waste pipes and under-sink grease traps, and common reasons people get in touch are drains clogged with fat and an overdue grease trap.
In rural areas, a kitchen may drain to a private system rather than a public sewer, so keeping fat out with a working grease trap matters even more.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

When to call us in Segensworth
Waste cooking oil poured down the sink overloads the trap fast. Even small amounts add up.
The symptoms we’re asked about most are:
- Washing-up water that won’t drain away
- Drains that gurgle and bubble
- An interceptor full of grease and solids
- A kitchen drain that smells
Fareham Community Hospital, about 1.2 miles west, is the nearest hospital to Segensworth; healthcare kitchens cannot stop cooking, so deep cleans are worked around meal times.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether VAT is included
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed
What affects the quote in Segensworth
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- The condition of the system
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- How easy every part is to reach
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before work begins.
Helping us quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price, before work begins.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
Why deal with it now?
In Segensworth, as anywhere, grease trap cleaning is a short, routine visit. Waiting for a blockage turns it into an urgent problem, often at a busy time. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Segensworth is calmer for everyone.
The cost depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.

Grease trap cleaning in Segensworth: local notes
The Food Standards Agency lists about 13 bars, pubs and nightclubs as registered food businesses within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Segensworth. Wherever food is prepared there, a periodic deep clean and a clear grease trap keep things in order. Food hygiene inspections in Segensworth are the job of Winchester City council’s environmental health team. Walls, floors, ceilings and equipment are all part of what they look at. Photos and dates from each deep clean make a useful record.
If you run a kitchen near Swanwick station with long trading hours, grease builds up faster behind equipment and in the trap. Where a church or community hall near St John, or anywhere in Segensworth, has a kitchen used by volunteers, a periodic deep clean keeps it ready for the next event.

Related advice
Looking after it afterwards
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Tell us when sinks start draining slowly
- Keep the grease trap on a regular cleaning schedule
- Keep waste oil out of the drains
- Make sure the trap can be reached easily
The waste we remove leaves with us. There’s no greasy waste left on site after the visit.
If the sinks are slow or smelly, the trap may be full. Getting it cleaned now can stop a full blockage later.
Common questions in Segensworth
Who inspects food businesses in Segensworth?
In Segensworth, it’s Winchester City council that carries out food hygiene inspections. An officer may look behind equipment and at drains, so it pays to have the deep clean booked before those areas build up.
Can the work in Segensworth be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. It means the site in Segensworth keeps running as normal. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Why does a grease trap need regular cleaning?
Grease and food waste build up until the trap stops working. The result is slow drains, foul odours and eventually a blockage.
How often should a grease trap be cleaned?
There’s no single answer. We look at how full the trap is and how quickly it fills and we’ll advise on timing.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for anything that cannot wait until a planned visit. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
Which accreditations do you hold?
Duct Doctor is a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we’re fully insured.
Will you tell us when the next visit is due?
Yes. The interval depends on how much the system is used and what we find and the report sets out why.
What is TR19?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
