Steep grease trap cleaning

- An inline trap or interceptor due for cleaning
- Drains clogged with fat
- An under-sink unit that needs regular emptying
The process
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes an hour or two in most kitchens, depending on the size and condition of the trap. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Steep.
- First, we find the trap and look at its connections.
- We make sure nothing drains into the trap.
- Grease and solids are removed from the trap.
- The chambers and baffles are cleaned.
- We refit it, run water through and remove the waste.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site

A clean trap means flowing drains and no foul smells. We empty the built-up grease and food solids, clean the inside and the baffles and the trap checked before we leave.

For a kitchen in or near Steep, the visit is planned ahead, around opening times and the journey.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.

Leave it or put it right?
Wherever the kitchen is in Steep, backed-up drains stop it working. Water won’t drain away and waste water can come back up. Cleaning the grease trap on time helps prevent it. Rural sites can’t always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
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 the price is fixed before work begins.

Grease trap cleaning in Steep: local notes
Food Standards Agency records list about 5 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 5 sandwich bars and takeaways across Steep and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). 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 Steep. An inspection covers the structure of the kitchen as well as the food. Photos and dates from each deep clean make a useful record.
Where a church or community hall near Church of All Saints, or anywhere in Steep, has a kitchen used by volunteers, a periodic deep clean keeps it ready for the next event. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Steep Church of England Voluntary Controlled Primary School or anywhere near Steep, the holidays are the time for a deep clean or a grease trap clean. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Petersfield Community Hospital (about 1.5 miles south), cook for long hours, so deep cleans and grease trap work are planned around patients’ meals.
Steep is about 1 mile north of Petersfield, in Hampshire. From the centre of Steep to the outskirts, we cover grease trap cleaning for every kind of premises, from small sites to large estates. Steep is one of 683 places in Hampshire we cover for commercial clients. Portsmouth is in our area too, around 16 miles away.
Every address in GU32 is within our area for grease trap cleaning, from the main roads to the quietest streets. Whether your site is on Church Road and Mill Lane or a nearby road, we can help. If your site is just outside Steep, we cover Steep Marsh (1 mile north), Sheet (1 mile south-east), Oakshott (1 mile north), Petersfield (1 mile south) and Stroud (2 miles south-west).

Around Steep
Around Steep, our work takes us to kitchens and buildings near The Cricketers Inn, Churcher's College and The Petersfield School, among other places. The nearest railway station is Petersfield station, roughly 1.4 miles south. Well-known places in the area include Bear Museum (1.7 miles south) and Petersfield Community Hospital (1.5 miles south). Not far away are Liss Riverside Railway Walk South and Wheatham Hill.
Between visits
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Keep access to the trap clear
- Keep strainers in every sink
- Don’t wait for a blockage to book a clean
- Wipe grease off pans before washing them
Once the trap is cleaned and refitted, the sinks can be used straight away. Water is run through to check everything flows before we go.
Fat that escapes the trap hardens in the pipework. Once it’s there, it needs a drainage contractor to clear, so it’s far better to keep the trap clean.
When it’s something else
Not every problem is solved by grease trap cleaning, and we’ll tell you before any work starts. It doesn’t solve:
- Drains that need jetting rather than trap cleaning
- Blockages further down the drainage network
- Broken pipework below ground
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly.

Common questions in Steep
Can a school kitchen in Steep be done out of term time?
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 Steep. Send us your term dates when you call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us, and we will fit the work in.
Can the work in Steep be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. It means the site in Steep keeps running as normal. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we’ll book within them.
Does the report say when we need you again?
Yes. The report recommends when the next visit should be, based on what we found and how the system is used.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
How much does grease trap cleaning cost?
The price depends on the trap and the schedule. Get in touch and we will give you a fixed quote so you know the cost up front.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, from your photos and details, or with a visit where necessary. A fixed quote follows.
Do you provide a certificate or report?
Yes. Every visit ends with a written report and pictures, showing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Kitchen extract cleans to TR19® Grease also get a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
How much notice do you need?
For planned work, earlier is better, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
How we price grease trap cleaning
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- The condition of the system
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Travel, parking and unloading
- A single visit or a regular plan
You won’t find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, and we’ll explain what it covers.
Asking for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- Any previous report or certificate
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
If you need grease trap cleaning in Steep, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email. Tell us what kind of premises it is and when it’s open, plus pictures or the previous report if they’re to hand. A fixed quote normally follows within one working day.
What your team can do, and what needs us
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
