Why act early in Wecock Farm
Some kitchens try to fix slow drains with hot water or drain cleaners. It just shifts the grease further along, where it sets again. Emptying and cleaning the trap deals with the source. It’s better to plan the work at a site near Wecock Farm than wait for a failure.

About our grease trap cleaning in Wecock Farm
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 holds them back. Common call-outs are for a regular cleaning plan for the grease trap and an under-sink trap that keeps filling up, on school and care home kitchens, restaurants and takeaways and kitchen waste pipes.
Around a place like Wecock Farm, deep clean work tends to mean pubs, cafés and school or care home kitchens. Smaller kitchens still collect grease behind equipment and in the drains.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with pictures, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Common problems we fix in Wecock Farm
Waste cooking oil poured down the sink overloads the trap fast. Small amounts soon build up.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- An under-sink trap that keeps filling up
- A slow-draining kitchen sink
- A blocked kitchen drain caused by grease
- A grease trap that hasn’t been emptied in a long time
If you run a care home or healthcare kitchen near Wecock Farm (the nearest hospital is Havant War Memorial Hospital, about 3.8 miles south-east), a grease trap on a set schedule avoids a blocked drain mid-service.
What to look for in a quote
- What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- What hours they’ll be on site
- Whether a written report and pictures are included
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Collect waste cooking oil separately
- Report slow or smelly sinks early
- Book trap cleans at a set interval
- Tell us if your menu or hours change
Keep used oil out of the drains, and the trap will stay cleaner for longer. It makes a real difference.
More cooking means more grease in the trap. Shortening the cleaning interval now stops it overflowing.
Different parts, different methods
Restaurant and takeaway kitchens
Busy kitchens with lots of washing-up fill traps fast. They often need the most frequent cleaning.
School, care home and staff kitchens
In schools, grease traps can be cleaned when the kitchen is closed or after lunch service.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
What affects the quote in Wecock Farm
Your quote is based on your site. We take into account:
- The times the site is available
- The number of sites or systems
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- How big the system is
The cost depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.
What to send for a quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- The postcode and the type of business
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- A few general shots of the system
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Questions from Wecock Farm

Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Which environmental health team covers Wecock Farm?
In Wecock Farm, it’s Havant council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Keep the dates of your last deep clean and grease trap visit with your food safety records, ready if an officer asks.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, we’re fully insured. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor for clients who vet their contractors.

Will you tell us when the next visit is due?

What’s TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping and expects a risk-based approach.
How much notice do you need?
For planned work, earlier is better, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.

There are about 40 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 30 takeaways within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Wecock Farm, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Fat from washing up sets hard in pipes, and kitchens like these produce plenty of it. Environmental health officers from Havant council inspect food businesses in Wecock Farm.
