FAQs for Up Somborne
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Up Somborne?
The local authority for Up Somborne is Winchester City council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. 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 work at weekends in Up Somborne?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Up Somborne needn’t be disturbed. When you ring 0345 646 2711 or email us, mention when the site is quiet.
Do you provide a certificate or report?
Yes. Every visit ends with a written report and photos, showing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, there’s also a certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Is Up Somborne in your area?
Yes. Our area takes in London and the counties of South East England, and that includes Up Somborne.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, from your photos and details, or with a visit where necessary. Then you get a fixed quote.
Which sectors do you work in?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, plus food production and leisure sites.
Can you clear our blocked drains as well?
That depends on the cause. A full trap is a common cause, and cleaning it can help but grease set further down the drains needs jetting by a drainage specialist.
What happens to the waste?
It leaves the site with us when we go. During the work, it’s contained to keep the area clean.
Grease trap cleaning in Up Somborne, done properly
If the sinks drain slowly or smell, the trap is often the cause. We find the trap, empty it and clean it and run water through to check it drains. We are often asked to deal with an under-sink trap that keeps filling up and a full, neglected grease trap, on kitchen waste pipes, school and care home kitchens and restaurants and takeaways.
For a kitchen in or near Up Somborne, the visit is planned ahead, around opening times and the journey, and the deep clean is the same as anywhere: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

What else we do in Up Somborne
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that’s where we come in.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Grease trap cleaning in Up Somborne: local notes
Kitchens in Up Somborne get their food hygiene inspections from Winchester City council. The state of floors, drains and hard-to-reach corners all feeds into the inspection. A cleaning log that includes deep cleans and grease trap visits shows the work is planned.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
How the job changes from site to site
Under-sink grease traps
We empty and clean under-sink traps without disrupting the rest of the kitchen, and check the lid and seals.
Inline grease traps
Several sinks may drain into one inline trap. More waste means faster filling.
Common problems we fix in Up Somborne
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 grease layer grows.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Drains that gurgle and bubble
- A routine grease trap service
- A grease trap that hasn’t been emptied in a long time
- Grease setting in the kitchen pipework
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near All Saints Church or elsewhere in Up Somborne, a deep clean and an emptied grease trap before a busy season of events are worth booking.

Keeping the system healthy
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- Scrape plates and pans into the bin before washing up
- Act on gurgling or smelly drains
- Do not store things on top of the trap
- Do not rely on hot water to clear grease
The waste we remove leaves with us. Nothing is left for you to dispose of after the visit.
An overfull trap lets grease pass. Cleaning it before it’s full keeps grease out of the drains and avoids a blockage.
Honest limits
Grease trap cleaning cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It doesn’t solve:
- A unit that can’t cope with the kitchen’s output
- Grease deep in the drains, which needs jetting by a drainage contractor
- Broken pipework below ground
If you’re not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will give you a straight answer.
