Grease trap cleaning for sites in Upper Froyle

How we handle grease trap cleaning in Upper Froyle

A clean trap means flowing drains and no foul smells. The fat, oil, grease and solids are taken out, clean the inside and the baffles, and check the trap is working properly. The work covers pot wash sinks, restaurants and takeaways and school and care home kitchens, and common reasons people get in touch are a slow-draining kitchen sink and foul odours from the grease trap.

Rural kitchens may drain to a septic tank or a private drain rather than straight into a public sewer, so keeping fat out with a working grease trap matters even more.

The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with photos, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Different parts, different methods

Baffles and outlets

We check the inlet, outlet and baffles at each clean so water flows freely.

Under-sink grease traps

Under-sink traps are compact units fitted below the kitchen sink. They fill quickly and need regular cleaning.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers

Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Upper Froyle and across Hampshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.

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. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.

Between visits

Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Make sure the trap can be reached easily
  • Use strainers in the sink plugholes
  • Book trap cleans at a set interval
  • Avoid pouring boiling water down to shift grease

We will suggest when the trap should be cleaned again. That depends on how quickly it filled and how much the kitchen cooks.

Fat that escapes the trap hardens in the pipework. Clearing it then is a bigger job, so it’s far better to keep the trap clean.

What we do, step by step

Our technicians bring everything the work needs, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. On site, the work takes an hour or two in most kitchens, depending on the size and condition of the trap. Seeing the system in photos first means the trip to Upper Froyle can be planned properly.

  1. We find the trap and check how it’s connected.
  2. Nothing drains into the trap while it’s open.
  3. Built-up fat, oil and grease is removed from the trap.
  4. Every part of the trap is scraped and cleaned, including the baffles.
  5. Once it’s refitted, water is run through to check it drains, and we take the waste with us.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms

How we price grease trap cleaning

There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:

  • The condition of the system
  • The times the site is available
  • Any permits to work or inductions
  • A single visit or a regular plan

You won’t find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and we’ll explain what it covers.

What we need to know

You do not need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:

  • Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
  • Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
  • Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
  • The site address and the type of premises

There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, and then give you a fixed quote. To start, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.

Common questions in Upper Froyle

Can you get to a site in Upper Froyle?

Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Upper Froyle is covered. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.

Can you come to Upper Froyle after we close?

Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. Your customers, staff or residents in Upper Froyle needn’t be disturbed. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.

What if parts of the system cannot be reached?

We record them on the report, with a note of where it is, and we tell you what would make it reachable, for example new access panels.

Where does the grease from the trap go?

We remove all the waste we take out. It isn’t poured back down the drain at any point.

What do you do with what you remove?

We contain it and take it with us. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on, so it does not spread.

Do you offer maintenance contracts?

Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.

Do you deal with blocked drains beyond the grease trap?

A trap clean removes the grease in the trap, and can clear the problem where the trap was the cause. A blockage deeper in the drains needs a drainage specialist.

How much time does a grease trap clean need?

A typical clean takes less than an hour for many under-sink units, including testing. We plan the visit around your service.

What happens if it’s left?

A blocked drain can stop a kitchen in its tracks. Water will not drain away and waste water can come back up. Keeping the trap clean reduces the risk. If the system at a site near Upper Froyle fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.

When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before work begins.
