How we handle grease trap cleaning in Upper Kingston
Fats, oils and grease are the main cause of blocked kitchen drains. Further on, grease can build into fatbergs in the sewer. A well-maintained trap keeps them out of the drains. We’re often asked to deal with an overdue grease trap and an under-sink unit that needs regular emptying, on inline grease traps, kitchen waste pipes and school and care home kitchens.
In a village or hamlet like Upper Kingston, 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.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

What happens if it’s left?
Pouring hot water or chemicals down a slow drain is a common quick fix. It just shifts the grease further along to set somewhere harder to reach. Emptying and cleaning the trap deals with the source. In a small place like Upper Kingston, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why we survey first, from photos or on site, and the price is agreed before any work starts.

Upper Kingston kitchens: local notes
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 15 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 4 takeaways and sandwich shops in Upper Kingston and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Fat from washing up sets hard in pipes, and kitchens like these produce plenty of it. It’s New Forest council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Upper Kingston. An inspection covers the structure of the kitchen as well as the food. Keeping a record of deep cleans and grease trap visits helps at inspection time.
Hall and church kitchens, near Trinity Congregational Church or anywhere around Upper Kingston, are used by many hands, and periodic deep cleans and grease trap visits keep them in order. For schools such as Ringwood Junior School, deep cleans and grease trap work are normally booked for the holidays. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as St Leonard's Hospital (about 3.8 miles west), cook for long hours, so deep cleans and grease trap work are planned around patients’ meals.

Honest limits
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Plumbing leaks around the sink
- Collapsed or damaged drains, which need a drainage contractor
- Blockages in the public sewer beyond the property
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll say what we think.
Parts of the system we cover
- Pot wash sinks
- School and care home kitchens
- Under-sink grease traps
- Inline grease traps
- Kitchen waste pipes
- Restaurants and takeaways
Looking after it afterwards
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Never pour used oil down the sink
- Wipe grease off pans before washing them
- Tell us when sinks start draining slowly
- Avoid pouring boiling water down to shift grease
If we spot problems beyond the trap, such as a drain that still runs slowly, we’ll tell you. It may need a drainage specialist to look further.
If the kitchen has got busier, the trap fills faster. Booking cleans more often stops it overflowing.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
What affects the quote in Upper Kingston
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- How big the system is
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
The cost depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.
What to send for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Send what you can of the following:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Any previous report or certificate
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The site address and the type of premises
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few photos and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then call 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
What the work involves, part by part
Under-sink grease traps
Under-sink units are easy to forget. When they fill, the sink slows and starts to smell.
Inline grease traps
Inline traps are fitted into the drain line. They’re larger than under-sink traps but still fill up.
Common questions in Upper Kingston
Do you work at weekends in Upper Kingston?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. That way a site in Upper Kingston doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Can school kitchens in Upper Kingston be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. Food Standards Agency records list about 2 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Upper Kingston. Tell us your holiday dates and we will book the visit for when the site is empty.
Do I get a report after the visit?
Yes, always. The report is dated and includes pictures, and TR19® Grease cleans come with a certificate through the BESCA VHE portal. Keep it in your maintenance log.
Do you clean under-sink and inline grease traps?
We cover under-sink, inline and interceptor units. Each one is emptied, cleaned and checked in the same careful way.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not typically. Visits are timed for when the area is closed, such as overnight or at a weekend, so the site can carry on as normal.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. One number covers all your sites across London and the South East, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
How long will the sinks be out of use?
Each trap is a little different, but a clean generally takes a short visit for a small trap and longer for an inline unit or interceptor. You will know before the visit.
The process
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Upper Kingston and turn up when the site is quiet.
- We locate the trap and check how it’s fitted.
- We make sure nothing drains into the trap.
- Grease and solids are removed from the trap.
- The chambers and baffles are cleaned.
- The trap is refitted, tested with water and the waste taken away.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
