Grease trap cleaning in Steep Marsh, done properly
A clean trap means flowing drains and no foul smells. The fat, oil, grease and solids are taken out, clean the inside and the baffles and the trap checked before we leave. The work covers pot wash sinks, restaurants and takeaways and inline grease traps, and common reasons people get in touch are drains that gurgle and bubble and a routine grease trap service.
For a kitchen in or near Steep Marsh, the visit is planned ahead, around opening times and the journey.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and 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.

Steep Marsh: your questions answered
Can you work in Steep Marsh outside opening hours?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The work in Steep Marsh can fit around your hours. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Do you cover smaller places like Steep Marsh?
Yes. Steep Marsh is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Will you tell us when the next visit is due?
Yes. The recommended date is on the report. BESA’s minimum intervals for kitchen extracts range from 3-monthly for heavy use to 12-monthly for light use, and fire dampers need testing at least once a year.
How often should a grease trap be cleaned?
It varies with the trap and the kitchen. If the sinks start to drain slowly between cleans, it’s too long and we will adjust the schedule.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, 24/7. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, and the emergency line covers the rest.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes, of course. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we’ll suggest a schedule and quote for it.
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 if parts of the system can’t be reached?
The report shows them clearly. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, which we can install.
What happens on the day
There are three stages on the day: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, and the sign-off is a written report with photos. The middle part takes longest, which takes less than an hour for many under-sink units. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Steep Marsh.
- We locate the trap and check how it’s fitted.
- Sinks feeding the trap are taken out of use.
- Grease and solids are removed from the trap.
- We clean every part of the inside.
- We refit it, run water through and remove the waste.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Have your last certificate or report to hand

Advice
What a clean will not put right
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Blockages further down the drainage network
- Drains that need jetting rather than trap cleaning
- Drains that are cracked or have collapsed
If you’re not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What the work covers
- Under-sink grease traps
- Inline grease traps
- Kitchen waste pipes
- Restaurants and takeaways
- School and care home kitchens
- Pot wash sinks
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Do not rely on hot water to clear grease
- Keep strainers in every sink
- Make sure the trap can be reached easily
- Tell us when sinks start draining slowly
Collect waste cooking oil separately rather than pouring it down the sink, and the trap will stay cleaner for longer. It’s the single easiest way to help.
Fat that escapes the trap hardens in the pipework. Once it’s there, it needs a drainage contractor to clear so prevention is the easier route.
Commercial kitchens in Steep Marsh
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 7 pubs and bars in Steep Marsh and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Where they run a kitchen, it needs the same deep cleaning and grease trap care as any restaurant. It’s East Hampshire council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Steep Marsh. They look at the cleanliness of the whole kitchen: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment. A record of each deep clean helps show the kitchen is kept in order.
Hall and church kitchens, near Church of All Saints or anywhere around Steep Marsh, are used by many hands, and periodic deep cleans and grease trap visits keep them in order. School kitchens, at schools like Steep Church of England Voluntary Controlled Primary School for example, typically have their deep cleans and grease trap work done while the canteen is closed.

Every pan and plate washed sends grease towards the drain. They cool and float to the top of the trap and the grease layer grows.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Washing-up water that won’t drain away
- An overdue grease trap
- Gurgling drains in the kitchen
- Foul odours from the grease trap
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Petersfield Community Hospital about 1.8 miles south, deep cleans and grease trap visits are planned so meals still go out.

What the work involves, part by part
Grease interceptors
An interceptor works on the same principle as a smaller trap. Grease floats and solids sink.
Baffles and outlets
The baffles hold back grease while water flows on. Grease clings to them so they’re cleaned every time.
