What affects the cost of grease trap cleaning
Every site gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The number of sites or systems
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- The condition of the system
- The scale of the work
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. You will have a fixed price before work begins.
Helping us quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
If you need grease trap cleaning in Test Valley, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form. Let us know the site type and the opening hours, plus photos or the previous report if they’re to hand. We typically send a fixed quote within one working day.
How we handle grease trap cleaning in Test Valley
Once a trap is full, grease passes straight through. Further down the pipe, the grease cools and hardens and the result is blocked drains and bad smells. A trap that’s cleaned regularly keeps grease where it belongs. If you have a bad smell from the sinks or drains and a small trap that fills too quickly, we can help.
Somewhere as small as Test Valley, the kitchens that need a deep clean are typically a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still needs the occasional deep clean and its grease trap kept clear.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Looking after it afterwards
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Fit sink strainers to catch food scraps
- Tell us when sinks start draining slowly
- Book trap cleans at a set interval
- Keep waste oil out of the drains
The waste we remove leaves with us. There’s no greasy waste left on site when we’re done.
A fixed cleaning interval means the trap never gets overfull. The interval is set to suit the trap and the kitchen.
Questions from Test Valley
Is Test Valley within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Who inspects food businesses in Test Valley?
The local authority for Test Valley is Test Valley council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. Keep the dates of your last deep clean and grease trap visit with your food safety records, ready if an officer asks.
Do you take the waste away?
We take the grease and solids away with us. You are not left with anything to dispose of when we go.
What do you do to protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. The work is kept contained and clean down when we finish.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, and the emergency line covers the rest.
Will I get paperwork for my records?
Yes. It’s the record insurers and inspectors ask to see: a written, dated record with photos of what we did and anything we couldn’t access.
Will cleaning the grease trap fix a blocked drain?
We clean the trap, not the drain network. Where the problem is further down the drain, we will say so and suggest a drainage contractor.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, plus food production and leisure sites.
Different parts, different methods
Under-sink grease traps
We empty and clean under-sink traps without disrupting the rest of the kitchen and check the seal on the lid.
Baffles and outlets
Baffles inside the trap slow the water so grease can separate. Grease clings to them so they’re cleaned every time.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
When to call us in Test Valley
A full trap can’t hold any more grease. It then builds up in the drains and the sewer beyond, where it can form blockages.
Look out for any of the following:
- A blocked kitchen drain caused by grease
- A regular cleaning plan for the grease trap
- A bad smell from the sinks or drains
- A slow-draining kitchen sink
Hall and church kitchens, near Church of St James or anywhere around Test Valley, are used by many hands, and periodic deep cleans and grease trap visits keep them in order.

Why it’s worth doing now in Test Valley
Some kitchens try to fix slow drains with hot water or drain cleaners. That only moves the grease further down the pipe to set somewhere harder to reach. Emptying and cleaning the trap deals with the source. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Test Valley is calmer for everyone.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.
