Grease trap cleaning in West End Green
Once a trap is full, grease passes straight through. Fat sets in the pipes downstream and the result is blocked drains and bad smells. Regular cleaning keeps it working. The work covers inline grease traps, school and care home kitchens and restaurants and takeaways, and the jobs we see most are a full, neglected grease trap and an under-sink trap that keeps filling up.
Somewhere as small as West End Green, the kitchens that need a deep clean are usually a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Wherever there is one, it needs its grease trap and hard-to-reach areas kept clean.
A written report with photos follows each visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What the work involves, part by part
Restaurant and takeaway kitchens
Busy kitchens cannot afford a blocked drain. Regular trap cleaning helps prevent it.
Grease interceptors
Interceptors separate grease the same way, on a larger scale. Cooling water lets grease rise and solids settle.
Do you need grease trap cleaning in West End Green?
Hot water and detergent carry grease further than you’d expect. When it cools, the grease hardens in the pipework or the drain.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- A regular cleaning plan for the grease trap
- Sinks that drain slowly
- An overdue grease trap
- A small trap that fills too quickly
If you cater for weddings or events at a historic house in the area (Stratfield Saye House is about 2 miles east), deep cleans can be fitted between bookings.

- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
Leave it or put it right?
Once the trap is full, grease heads for the drain. It hardens on the pipe walls until water cannot get through. Regular trap cleaning beats dealing with a blockage. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
You won’t find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we will talk you through it.

How the visit works
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your pictures. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, the work takes a short visit for a small trap and longer for an inline unit or interceptor. Somewhere as small as West End Green, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- We find the trap and check how it’s connected.
- The sinks feeding the trap are kept out of use while we work.
- We take out the layer of fat, oil and grease and any solids.
- The inside, baffles and pipe connections are cleaned.
- Once it’s refitted, water is run through to check it drains, and we take the waste with us.
How to prepare
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet

Advice
Your questions about grease trap cleaning in West End Green
Can you come to West End Green after we close?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. That way a site in West End Green does not have to lose a day’s trading. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Which environmental health team covers West End Green?
In West End Green, it’s Basingstoke and Deane 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.
How much notice do you need?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
Do we need to close while you work?
Usually not. Out-of-hours visits keep the disruption down. Bigger sites can be done in stages to keep things running.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a single café to a large school. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
Not in itself. TR19® is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs check against, and many insurers ask for proof of cleaning to it. The law behind it is the Fire Safety Order 2005, which applies in England and Wales.
Does the report say when we need you again?
Yes. Every report includes a recommended date for the next visit, based on use and what we found.
