How we handle grease trap cleaning in Stubbington
Smells from the sink, gurgling drains or slow drainage all point to the grease trap. In Stubbington, as everywhere we work, our team empties and cleans the trap and run water through to check it drains. If you have a small trap that fills too quickly and a grease trap that hasn’t been emptied in a long time, we can put it right, from inline grease traps, kitchen waste pipes and pot wash sinks onwards.
Around a place like Stubbington, deep clean work tends to mean pubs, cafés and school or care home kitchens. Smaller kitchens still collect grease behind equipment and in the drains.
We’re 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.

Your questions about grease trap cleaning in Stubbington
Can a school kitchen in Stubbington be done out of term time?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. With about 8 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Stubbington, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with the dates the site is empty.
Who inspects food businesses in Stubbington?
In Stubbington, it’s Fareham council that carries out food hygiene inspections. How often a business is inspected depends on the council’s risk rating for it, so the kitchen needs to be ready at any time.
Where does the waste go?
It leaves the site with us at the end of the visit. During the work, it’s contained to keep the area clean.
How often should a grease trap be cleaned?
The right interval depends on your trap and your cooking. If the sinks start to drain slowly between cleans, it’s too long, and we can shorten it.
What types of grease trap do you clean?
We clean under-sink traps, inline traps and interceptors. Tell us what you have and we will plan around it.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
The report shows them clearly. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, and we can fit those.
Which records should we keep?
Everything that shows the system is looked after: our reports and photos, any certificates and your in-house logs. One maintenance log per site keeps it simple.
Do you cover Stubbington?
Yes. We work in Stubbington and across Hampshire, within our South East and London area. To book, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
What staff can safely do
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
Part by part
School, care home and staff kitchens
Care home and hospital kitchens need their drains working all the time. Visits are planned between meals.
Baffles and outlets
Clean water leaves through the outlet. A blocked outlet stops the trap working.
What happens on the day
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and the rest is down to us. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. Around Stubbington, access is normally simpler than in a town centre, though gates and roof access are worth mentioning.
- We find the trap and check how it’s connected.
- The sinks feeding the trap are kept out of use while we work.
- The trap is emptied of grease and food waste.
- Every part of the trap is scraped and cleaned, including the baffles.
- We put it back together, run water through and remove the waste.
Getting ready for the visit
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Let us know about parking and loading
Ask for a quote
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Send a few details and pictures, and we normally reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.

How we price grease trap cleaning
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:
- Parking and loading at the site
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- The number of sites or systems
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re unsure, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form for straight advice and a fixed quote.
What we need to know
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, photos of the system and any previous report or certificate. Then call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Stubbington
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We’re happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so each one has its own record.
When to call us in Stubbington
Fats, oils and grease from cooking and washing up go down the sink. They cool and float to the top of the trap, and the layer gets thicker day by day.
Clients typically contact us after spotting one of these:
- A small trap that fills too quickly
- A grease trap that hasn’t been emptied in a long time
- A routine grease trap service
- Grease setting in the kitchen pipework
Half-term is a good time for school kitchens, at schools like Crofton Anne Dale Junior School for instance, to have the grease trap emptied and the kitchen deep cleaned.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Tell us if your menu or hours change
- Do not rely on hot water to clear grease
- Keep waste oil out of the drains
- Fit sink strainers to catch food scraps
The sinks are ready to use as soon as we’ve finished. Water is run through to check everything flows before we go.
Setting regular cleans takes the guesswork out. We agree the timing with you.
