Honest limits
Grease trap cleaning cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It does not solve:
- Grease deep in the drains, which needs jetting by a drainage contractor
- Sewer problems outside the premises
- Broken pipework below ground

How we handle grease trap cleaning in Soake
If the sinks drain slowly or smell, the trap is often the cause. In Soake, as everywhere we work, our team empties and cleans the trap, then check the water flows properly. Typical jobs include a small trap that fills too quickly and a bad smell from the sinks or drains, across pot wash sinks, restaurants and takeaways and school and care home kitchens.
Work in a small place like Soake starts with agreeing a date and access.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Soake
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and photos, so records stay tidy.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
Grease trap cleaning around Soake
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 14 pubs, bars and clubs within about 1.5 miles of central Soake. Any of them serving food has a kitchen that collects grease out of sight and drains that need protecting. Food hygiene inspections in Soake are the job of Winchester City 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.
If you run a care home or healthcare kitchen near Soake (the nearest hospital is Queen Alexandra Hospital, about 3.2 miles south), a grease trap on a set schedule avoids a blocked drain mid-service.

Different parts, different methods
Baffles and outlets
Clean water leaves through the outlet. A blocked outlet stops the trap working.
Restaurant and takeaway kitchens
We time visits to avoid service so the kitchen is not disrupted.
Common questions in Soake
Do you work overnight in Soake?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. It means the site in Soake keeps running as normal. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Can you get to a site in Soake?
Yes, Soake is part of our area, however small the site. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
What types of grease trap do you clean?
Under-sink units, inline traps and interceptors are all covered. Let us know what’s fitted and we will plan the visit.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
We record them on the report, with photos where possible, and we tell you what would make it reachable, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
How often should a grease trap be cleaned?
That depends on the trap and the kitchen. A small trap fills more quickly than a large one and the busier the kitchen, the faster it fills. We’ll recommend a schedule once we have seen it.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before any work starts, and anything we remove is contained. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a single café to a large school. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
How long will the sinks be out of use?
As a guide, it takes less than an hour for many under-sink units. A large or very full trap takes longer, and we will tell you in advance.

How the visit works
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off.

- We locate the trap and check how it’s fitted.
- We make sure nothing drains into the trap.
- We empty out the fat, oil, grease and solids.
- The chambers and baffles are cleaned.
- We refit it, run water through and remove the waste.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the space around the work
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
How to get a quote

Common problems we fix in Soake
The more a kitchen cooks and washes up, the quicker the trap fills. A trap that suited a quieter kitchen can struggle when cooking increases.
What we’re most often called out for:
- A larger grease trap that needs emptying
- A bad smell from the sinks or drains
- Gurgling from the sink waste
- Drains clogged with fat
School kitchens, at schools like Denmead Junior School for example, normally have their deep cleans and grease trap work done while the canteen is closed.
What your quote should include
- When the next visit should be, and why
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
- What insurance they carry
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
What affects the quote in Soake
You’ll get a fixed price before any work starts. It’s based on:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The scale of the work
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You’ll have a fixed price before we start.
What to send for a quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
