Grease trap cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Stratfield Saye
Smells from the sink, gurgling drains or slow drainage all point to the grease trap. In Stratfield Saye, as everywhere we work, our team empties and cleans the trap, then check the water flows properly. If you have a blocked kitchen drain caused by grease and foul odours from the grease trap, we can put it right.
In a village or hamlet like Stratfield Saye, 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.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Multi-site and managed buildings
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
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. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
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’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
Why act early in Stratfield Saye
For a kitchen in Stratfield Saye, a regular grease trap clean is a small, planned job. Waiting for a blockage turns it into an urgent problem and usually at the worst moment. Planning a trip to Stratfield Saye ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
We don’t list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll talk you through it.

Commercial kitchens in Stratfield Saye
Look up Stratfield Saye on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 4 restaurants, cafés and works canteens within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Stratfield Saye. A grease trap in kitchens like these fills steadily and needs emptying before it overflows. Stratfield Saye is about 41 miles from central London, well within the area we cover across London and the South East. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you. In Stratfield Saye, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Basingstoke and Deane council. The state of floors, drains and hard-to-reach corners all feeds into the inspection. Keeping a record of deep cleans and grease trap visits helps at inspection time.
If you cater for weddings or events at a historic house in the area (Stratfield Saye House is about 1.1 miles east), deep cleans can be fitted between bookings. Hall kitchens near Church of St. Mary the Virgin or elsewhere in Stratfield Saye may have older sinks and drains, so a grease trap check is worth adding to a deep clean.

What affects the cost of grease trap cleaning
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- How easy every part is to reach
- How big the system is
- Any permits to work or inductions
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before work begins.
Asking for a quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- Any previous report or certificate
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- A few general shots of the system
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and pictures, and we typically reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
Your questions about grease trap cleaning in Stratfield Saye
Do you cover smaller places like Stratfield Saye?
Yes. Stratfield Saye is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Stratfield Saye?
In Stratfield Saye, it’s Basingstoke and Deane council that carries out food hygiene inspections. An officer may look behind equipment and at drains, so it pays to have the deep clean booked before those areas build up.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for anything that can’t wait until a planned visit. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes, of course. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we will propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
What happens to the waste?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. We do not leave it behind.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
How long does a grease trap clean take?
As a guide, it takes less than an hour for many under-sink units. Bigger or overdue traps need more time, and we’ll tell you in advance.
Which records should we keep?
Everything that shows the system is looked after: reports, certificates, photos and your own cleaning or check logs. A single log for each site works best.
Keeping the system healthy
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Keep strainers in every sink
- Get food waste into the bin, not the sink
- Don’t wait for a blockage to book a clean
- Hot water only moves grease further down
You will get our view on how often the trap needs cleaning. That depends on how quickly it filled and how busy the kitchen is.
If the kitchen has got busier, the trap fills faster. Shortening the cleaning interval now stops it overflowing.

How the visit works
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and it goes on the report too. The visit takes anything from under an hour to a few hours, depending on the trap. Somewhere as small as Stratfield Saye, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- First, we locate the grease trap and look at the pipework around it.
- Nothing drains into the trap while it’s open.
- Built-up fat, oil and grease is removed from the trap.
- We clean the chambers, baffles and connections.
- The trap is reassembled, checked for leaks and the waste taken away.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move anything stored near the system
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
