Grease trap cleaning in West Liss
A neglected grease trap stops doing its job. Fat sets in the pipes downstream and the result is blocked drains and bad smells. A trap that is cleaned regularly keeps grease where it belongs. If you have a small trap that fills too quickly and a regular cleaning plan for the grease trap, we can put it right.
Somewhere as small as West Liss, the kitchens that need a deep clean are typically a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still needs the occasional deep clean and its grease trap kept clear.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

West Liss: your questions answered
Do you work at weekends in West Liss?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. Your customers, staff or residents in West Liss needn’t be disturbed. Just call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Do you cover smaller places like West Liss?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, West Liss included. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
How often should a grease trap be cleaned?
It varies with the trap and the kitchen. Slow or smelly sinks between cleans mean it needs doing more often, and we can shorten it.
What’s TR19?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, fully. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor, for sites that check contractor safety.
What does a grease trap clean cost?
We price it once we know the trap and how often it needs cleaning. Just call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll quote so you know the cost up front.
Does the report say when we need you again?
Yes. How often depends on use and condition and the report sets out why.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a small pub to a hospital. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.

- A leaking sink waste or trap connection
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think.

Different parts, different methods
Grease interceptors
Grease interceptors are larger units that serve busier kitchens. They hold more grease and solids, but they still need regular emptying and cleaning.
School, care home and staff kitchens
School kitchens can be cleaned in the holidays or between meal services.
West Liss kitchens: local notes
Food Standards Agency data counts about 4 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of West Liss. Each of them sends fat, oil and grease towards the drain, which is why grease traps need regular emptying. In West Liss, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from East Hampshire council. Grease behind equipment or on a ceiling is the kind of thing an inspection can note. A cleaning log that includes deep cleans and grease trap visits shows the work is planned.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Petersfield Community Hospital (about 3.2 miles south-west), cook for long hours, so deep cleans and grease trap work are planned around patients’ meals. Hall kitchens near Church of St Mary or elsewhere in West Liss may have older sinks and drains, so a grease trap check is worth adding to a deep clean. If you run a café or takeaway near Liss station, a deep clean overnight means the kitchen opens as normal next morning.

What we do, step by step
Your trading hours come first. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the work takes an hour or so for an under-sink trap, longer for a larger unit. For a village or hamlet like West Liss, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- First, we find the trap and look at its connections.
- Sinks feeding the trap are taken out of use.
- Grease and solids are removed from the trap.
- We clean every part of the inside.
- We refit it, run water through and remove the waste.
How to prepare
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Clear loose items from the work area
Get a fixed quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- What state the system is in
- Any permits to work or inductions

What we need to know

- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- The postcode and the type of business

- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your pictures and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before any work starts.

For landlords and multi-site operators
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. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.
