Why deal with it now?
A dirty grease trap smells. Decomposing waste in the trap smells bad that can reach the kitchen and beyond. A clean trap takes the source away. With notice, the visit to Stockbridge can be fitted around your bookings and events.

Grease trap cleaning in Stockbridge, done properly
No two traps are quite the same. Under-sink traps are compact and need frequent attention, while inline traps and interceptors hold more. We assess the trap and how fast it fills and suggest an interval that suits. The work covers school and care home kitchens, pot wash sinks and restaurants and takeaways, and people most often call us about an under-sink trap that keeps filling up and a grease trap that hasn’t been emptied in a long time.
Rural kitchens may drain to a septic tank or a private drain rather than straight into a public sewer, so keeping fat out with a working grease trap matters even more.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

What the work involves, part by part
Inline grease traps
Inline traps may be under a floor panel or in a cupboard. We ask about access when we quote.
Under-sink grease traps
An under-sink trap is out of sight. When they fill, the sink slows and starts to smell.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we will send 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 to a regular schedule.
How the visit works
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the work takes less than an hour for many under-sink units. The timing of a visit to Stockbridge is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- We agree a time when the sinks are not needed.
- We open the trap and look at its condition.
- Built-up grease and food waste are taken out.
- The inside, baffles and outlet are cleaned.
- We close it up, check it drains and suggest when it needs cleaning again.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the space around the work
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend

When to call us in Stockbridge
If a trap isn’t emptied, grease passes straight through. It then builds up in the drains and the sewer beyond, where it can cause blockages.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A full, neglected grease trap
- Gurgling drains in the kitchen
- An under-sink trap that keeps filling up
- An interceptor full of grease and solids
Hall kitchens near Church of St Peter or elsewhere in Stockbridge may have older sinks and drains, so a grease trap check is worth adding to a deep clean.

FAQs for Stockbridge
Do you clean school kitchens in Stockbridge in the summer holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. Around Stockbridge, the Food Standards Agency lists about 2 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Send us your term dates when you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us, and we’ll fit the work in.
Do you work at weekends in Stockbridge?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The work in Stockbridge can fit around your hours. When you call 0345 646 2711 or email us, mention when the site is quiet.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line, for problems that can’t wait. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
Do you recommend a next date?
Yes. We put a recommended next date 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 long does a grease trap clean take?
Most grease trap cleans take anything from under an hour to a few hours, depending on the trap including checking it drains. We plan the visit around your service.
What do you do to protect the area?
We start with protection: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
We record them on the report, with a note of where it is, and we explain what access is needed, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.

What staff can safely do
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
What grease trap cleaning cannot fix
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what grease trap cleaning won’t do:
- Drains that are cracked or have collapsed
- Blockages in the public sewer beyond the property
- A leaking sink waste or trap connection
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll say what we think.
Parts of the system we cover
- School and care home kitchens
- Restaurants and takeaways
- Inline grease traps
- Under-sink grease traps
- Pot wash sinks
- Kitchen waste pipes
Grease trap cleaning around Stockbridge
Look up Stockbridge on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 7 restaurants, cafés and works canteens across Stockbridge and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Kitchens like these wash fat, oil and grease down the sink every day, and a grease trap is what stops it reaching the sewer. Food hygiene inspections in Stockbridge are the job of Test Valley council’s environmental health team. Grease behind equipment or on a ceiling is the kind of thing an inspection can note. Having the dates of the last deep clean to hand saves digging for them on the day.
For schools such as Stockbridge Primary & Pre-School, deep cleans and grease trap work are usually booked for the holidays.
