About our grease trap cleaning in Stonymarsh
Grease trap cleaning keeps the drains running and the smells away. We empty the built-up grease and food solids, clean the inside and the baffles, and check the trap is working properly. Typical jobs include a routine grease trap service and a blocked kitchen drain caused by grease, on kitchen waste pipes, under-sink grease traps and school and care home kitchens.
In a village or hamlet like Stonymarsh, commercial kitchens are few, perhaps a pub, a school or a care home. Each still needs the occasional deep clean and its grease trap kept clear.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

Advice
Grease trap cleaning around Stonymarsh
The FSA’s data shows about 4 pubs, bars and clubs registered within about 1.5 miles of central Stonymarsh. Any of them serving food has a kitchen that collects grease out of sight and drains that need protecting. Food hygiene inspections in Stonymarsh are the job of Test Valley council’s environmental health team. Walls, floors, ceilings and equipment are all part of what they look at. A cleaning log that includes deep cleans and grease trap visits shows the work is planned.
If you run a kitchen in an older building near Stonymarsh, such as a historic house like Mottisfont Abbey (about 0.5 miles west), older drains make a working grease trap all the more important. Where a church or community hall near Church of St Andrew, or anywhere in Stonymarsh, has a kitchen used by volunteers, a periodic deep clean keeps it ready for the next event.

Leave it or put it right?
A smelly, overflowing trap attracts pests. Keeping the trap clean removes something they’re looking for as part of a clean kitchen. Rural sites cannot always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.

Signs you need grease trap cleaning in Stonymarsh
Every pan and plate washed sends grease towards the drain. In the trap, they cool and separate and the grease layer grows.
Clients usually contact us when they notice something like this:
- A full, neglected grease trap
- A regular cleaning plan for the grease trap
- Grease setting in the kitchen pipework
- Gurgling from the sink waste
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Romsey Community Hospital (about 3.7 miles south-east), cook for long hours, so deep cleans and grease trap work are planned around patients’ meals.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Stonymarsh
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit ends with a dated report and pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Stonymarsh and across Hampshire. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
When it’s something else
We will not sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- Grease set hard in the drain run
- A leaking sink waste or trap connection
- Broken pipework below ground
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll tell you honestly.

How the job changes from site to site
Inline grease traps
Inline traps often take waste from several sinks or appliances. More waste means faster filling.
Baffles and outlets
The outlet carries the separated water on to the drain. A blocked outlet stops the trap working.
Stonymarsh: your questions answered
Do you work at weekends in Stonymarsh?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. It means the site in Stonymarsh keeps running as normal. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Stonymarsh?
Kitchens in Stonymarsh are inspected by Test Valley council’s environmental health officers. Keep the dates of your last deep clean and grease trap visit with your food safety records, ready if an officer asks.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
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.
What happens if a grease trap is not cleaned?
An overfull trap lets grease into the drains. There it hardens on the pipe walls until they block. Keeping the trap clean stops that happening.
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.
What types of premises do you cover?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, as well as food production and leisure sites.
Do you cover Stonymarsh?
Yes. Stonymarsh is part of the area we cover, as part of our area across London and the South East.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and we can share the details when you need them.

What else we do in Stonymarsh
What affects the cost of grease trap cleaning
The survey tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- The size of the system
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
What you pay depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.
Asking for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- The postcode and the type of business
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
