Grease Trap Cleaning in Southrope
Grease trap cleaning for Southrope, from a team that has been trading since 2009. Out-of-hours visits and 24/7 emergency callout.
- A full, neglected grease trap
- Gurgling drains in the kitchen
- Washing-up water that won’t drain away
What the work involves, part by part
Grease interceptors
Grease interceptors are larger units that serve busier kitchens. With more capacity, they fill more slowly but they still need cleaning.
Restaurant and takeaway kitchens
Busy kitchens with lots of washing-up fill traps fast. A shorter cleaning interval typically suits them.
How we handle grease trap cleaning in Southrope
In Southrope, we time grease trap visits so the sinks aren’t needed. We empty, clean and check the trap and remove the waste. It can be booked on its own or alongside other kitchen work. If you’re dealing with an interceptor full of grease and solids and an overdue grease trap, we can put it right.
For a kitchen in or near Southrope, the visit is planned ahead, around opening times and the journey, and the deep clean is the same as anywhere: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

FAQs for Southrope
Can you come to Southrope after we close?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. That way a site in Southrope does not have to lose a day’s trading. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Who inspects food businesses in Southrope?
Food hygiene inspections in Southrope are carried out by Basingstoke and Deane council. Keep the dates of your last deep clean and grease trap visit with your food safety records, ready if an officer asks.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line, and we will advise on what to do next.
Why does a grease trap need regular cleaning?
A full trap can’t catch any more grease. The grease hardens in the pipes, leading to blocked drains and smells and can end up adding to sewer blockages.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not typically. We need the work area to ourselves while we’re on site, so we book a time when it would be closed anyway.
Who is the responsible person?
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, it’s the responsible person: often the employer, owner or occupier. In shared or managed buildings, a landlord, facilities manager or managing agent can share the duty.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so we can schedule a run of sites on one programme. Every site has its own report.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. We keep the work contained and leave the area clean.
What grease trap cleaning cannot fix
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so here are the limits:
- Drains that are cracked or have collapsed
- Sewer problems outside the premises
- Plumbing leaks around the sink
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
What the work covers
- Kitchen waste pipes
- Under-sink grease traps
- Inline grease traps
- Pot wash sinks

How the visit works
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and the same goes into the written report. The visit takes an hour or so for an under-sink trap, longer for a larger unit. Somewhere as small as Southrope, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- 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 how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Clear the space around the work
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards

Multi-site and managed buildings
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and photos, so each one has its own record.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
If your staff spot something 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.

When to call us in Southrope
Hot water and detergent carry grease further than you’d expect. Once it cools, it sets in the pipework or the drain.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- A larger grease trap that needs emptying
- An overdue grease trap
- Drains that gurgle and bubble
- Washing-up water that will not drain away
If you cater for weddings or events at a historic house in the area (Hall Place is about 3.1 miles south), deep cleans can be fitted between bookings.
