Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- A kitchen drain that smells
- A routine grease trap service
- An overdue grease trap
- Drains clogged with fat
School kitchens, at schools like Sheet Primary School for example, normally have their deep cleans and grease trap work done while the canteen is closed.

About our grease trap cleaning in Sheet
Grease traps sit between the sinks and the drain, holding back fats, oils and grease. Cooling water lets the grease rise and separate, and clean water flows on. Over time, the trap fills up and needs emptying and cleaning. If you have a grease trap that hasn’t been emptied in a long time and an under-sink trap that keeps filling up, we can put it right, from pot wash sinks, restaurants and takeaways and school and care home kitchens onwards.
Work in a small place like Sheet starts with agreeing a date and access, and the deep clean is the same as anywhere: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That’s why every job is written up in a report with pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Leave it or put it right?
Once the trap is full, grease heads for the drain. It hardens on the pipe walls, until the drain blocks. Regular trap cleaning beats dealing with a blockage. Rural sites cannot always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.

Sheet kitchens: local notes
Look up Sheet on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 16 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 8 sandwich bars and takeaways within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Sheet. Wherever they wash pans and plates, fat heads for the drain unless a trap catches it. Environmental health officers from East Hampshire council inspect food businesses in Sheet. Grease behind equipment or on a ceiling is the kind of thing an inspection can note. A record of each deep clean helps show the kitchen is kept in order.
Hall kitchens near Church of St Mary Magdalene or elsewhere in Sheet may have older sinks and drains, so a grease trap check is worth adding to a deep clean. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Petersfield Community Hospital (about 1.3 miles south-west), cook for long hours, so deep cleans and grease trap work are planned around patients’ meals.

What affects the cost of grease trap cleaning
The survey tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- The condition of the system
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before work begins.
Helping us quote
What to send for a quote:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Your last certificate, test record or report
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.
What your team can do, and what needs us
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: 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.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Sheet questions
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Sheet?
The local authority for Sheet is East Hampshire council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. How often a business is inspected depends on the council’s risk rating for it, so the kitchen needs to be ready at any time.
Can school kitchens in Sheet be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. There are about 5 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Sheet. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, to suit the system and how it’s used.
Which grease traps does the service cover?
We clean under-sink traps, inline traps and interceptors. Let us know what’s fitted and we’ll plan the visit.
What happens if a grease trap isn’t cleaned?
A full trap can’t catch any more grease. The grease hardens in the pipes, leading to blocked drains and smells, and can add to fatbergs in the sewer.
Do you deal with blocked drains beyond the grease trap?
That depends on the cause. A full trap is a common cause, and cleaning it can help, but blockages further along need a drainage contractor.
What happens to the waste?
It leaves the site with us at the end of the visit. During the work, it’s contained so the area stays clean.
Which accreditations do you hold?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We’re fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
Aftercare tips
So the system stays in good health:
- Let us know if the kitchen gets busier
- Tell us when sinks start draining slowly
- Get food waste into the bin, not the sink
- Avoid pouring boiling water down to shift grease
If we spot problems beyond the trap, such as a drain that still runs slowly, we’ll tell you. It may need a drainage specialist to investigate.
If the sinks are slow or smelly, the trap may be full. Getting it cleaned now can stop a full blockage down the line.
How the visit works
Each visit runs to the same pattern: protect the area, make the system safe, do the work, tidy up and leave you the report. On site, the work takes anything from under an hour to a few hours, depending on the trap. Visits to a village like Sheet are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- 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.
- The trap is refitted, tested with water and the waste taken away.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Clear the space around the work
