Grease trap cleaning in Weeke: local notes
Food Standards Agency records list about 6 food manufacturers and packers in and around Weeke, up to about a mile and a half out. For food producers, the grease trap schedule should follow the volume going through it. Kitchens in Weeke get their food hygiene inspections from Winchester City council. An inspection covers the structure of the kitchen as well as the food. A cleaning log that includes deep cleans and grease trap visits shows the work is planned.
If you look after a hall kitchen near Church of St Matthew or anywhere in Weeke, a deep clean between busy seasons is easier than a scramble before a big event. Half-term is a good time for school kitchens, at schools like Weeke Primary School for instance, to have the grease trap emptied and the kitchen deep cleaned.

How we handle grease trap cleaning in Weeke
No two traps are quite the same. Under-sink units are small and fill quickly, while inline traps and interceptors hold more. We look at the trap, how much the kitchen uses it and how quickly it fills and suggest an interval that suits. We’re often asked to deal with a larger grease trap that needs emptying and an under-sink unit that needs regular emptying, across pot wash sinks, under-sink grease traps and inline grease traps.
Around a place like Weeke, deep clean work tends to mean pubs, cafés and school or care home kitchens. A smaller kitchen still builds up grease where everyday cleaning doesn’t reach.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Your questions about grease trap cleaning in Weeke
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Weeke?
In Weeke, it’s Winchester City council that carries out food hygiene inspections. 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 work in Weeke outside opening hours?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. That way a site in Weeke doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Are you insured?
Yes, we are fully insured. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it for clients who vet their contractors.
Is Weeke in your area?
Yes. Our technicians work in Weeke, within the South East and London area we cover.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it and the fixed quote is built on it.
Do you take the waste away?
The fat, oil, grease and solids we remove go with us. None of it goes back into the drains, of course.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, and the emergency line covers the rest.
Will cleaning the grease trap fix a blocked drain?
A trap clean removes the grease in the trap and that may solve a slow drain caused by the trap. A blockage deeper in the drains needs a drainage specialist.
What we do, step by step
Protection comes first: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes anything from under an hour to a few hours, depending on the trap, and we clear up before we go. Getting to the system matters more than parking in a place like Weeke, so let us know how to reach it.
- First, we find the trap and look at its connections.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
Ask for a quote
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, and then give you a fixed quote. To get going, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.

How we price grease trap cleaning
You’ll get a fixed price before any work starts. It takes into account:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- What state the system is in
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Site rules, permits and inductions
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before work begins.
Helping us quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
Need a price for grease trap cleaning? Please phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with a few details about the site. We’ll explain what we’d do and send a fixed quote before anything is booked.
Looking after it afterwards
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Tell us if your menu or hours change
- Use strainers in the sink plugholes
- Report slow or smelly sinks early
- Scrape plates and pans into the bin before washing up
Keep used oil out of the drains and the trap will not fill as quickly. It’s the single easiest way to help.
A trap that’s left too long stops catching grease. Cleaning it before it’s full keeps grease out of the drains and avoids a blockage.

What else we do in Weeke
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.

- An overdue grease trap
- Grease setting in the kitchen pipework
- An inline trap or interceptor due for cleaning
- Gurgling from the sink waste
