Upton Grey: your questions answered
Can you get to a site in Upton Grey?
Yes, Upton Grey is part of our area, however small the site. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Upton Grey?
Food hygiene inspections in Upton Grey are carried out by Basingstoke and Deane council. 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.
Can you clear our blocked drains as well?
That depends on the cause. If the trap is full, cleaning it often helps, but blockages further along need a drainage contractor.
How much does grease trap cleaning cost?
No two traps are quite the same, so we quote once we know what you have. You get a fixed quote, normally within one working day.
What about areas you cannot get to?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. You will know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. One number covers all your sites in our area, with visits on a regular schedule.
Do you clean under-sink and inline grease traps?
We clean all the common types. If you are not sure what you have, send us a photo when you ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
How long will the sinks be out of use?
A typical clean takes anything from under an hour to a few hours, depending on the trap, including testing. It’s booked when the sinks are not needed.
How we handle grease trap cleaning in Upton Grey
Once a trap is full, grease passes straight through. Fat sets in the pipes downstream, leading to slow drains, blockages and smells. A trap that’s cleaned regularly keeps grease where it belongs. The work covers restaurants and takeaways, school and care home kitchens and kitchen waste pipes, and people most often call us about a larger grease trap that needs emptying and a regular cleaning plan for the grease trap.
For a kitchen in or near Upton Grey, the visit is planned ahead, around opening times and the journey.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

Fixed quotes for grease trap cleaning in Upton Grey
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you’ll get one fixed quote.
What we need to know
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Useful things to send:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- A few general shots of the system
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your photos and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before work begins.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Do not store things on top of the trap
- Never pour used oil down the sink
- Scrape plates and pans into the bin before washing up
- Hot water only moves grease further down
Between cleans, keep food scraps out of the sink. Use strainers in the sink plugholes before they reach the trap.
A fixed cleaning interval means the trap never gets overfull. The interval is set to suit the trap and the kitchen.
What grease trap cleaning looks like in Upton Grey
At about 44 miles from central London, Upton Grey sits well inside the area we cover. Visits are booked around your hours, evenings and weekends included. In Upton Grey, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Basingstoke and Deane council. The state of floors, drains and hard-to-reach corners all feeds into the inspection. Having the dates of the last deep clean to hand saves digging for them on the day.
Healthcare kitchens cook through the year, so a deep clean has to be fitted around meals; Basingstoke and North Hampshire Hospital, about 5.8 miles north-west, is the nearest hospital to Upton Grey.

Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Every visit ends with a dated report and photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
When something else is needed
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Sewer problems outside the premises
- Broken pipework below ground
- A grease trap that is too small for the kitchen
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

- Kitchen waste pipes
- School and care home kitchens
- Inline grease traps
- Restaurants and takeaways
- Pot wash sinks
- Under-sink grease traps
What we are called out for in Upton Grey
Oil tipped down the drain instead of being collected overloads the trap fast. Even small amounts add up.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A bad smell from the sinks or drains
- A blocked kitchen drain caused by grease
- An under-sink trap that keeps filling up
- A regular cleaning plan for the grease trap
Hall kitchens near Church of St Mary or elsewhere in Upton Grey may have older sinks and drains, so a grease trap check is worth adding to a deep clean.

Baffles and outlets
Every clean includes the baffles, inlet and outlet so the trap works as it should.

What else we do in Upton Grey
How the visit works
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your pictures. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes less than an hour for many under-sink units. For a village or hamlet like Upton Grey, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- First, we locate the grease trap and look at the pipework around it.
- We ask for the sinks that drain into the trap not to be used.
- We take out the layer of fat, oil and grease and any solids.
- Every part of the trap is scraped and cleaned, including the baffles.
- Once it’s refitted, water is run through to check it drains, and we take the waste with us.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
