About our grease trap cleaning in West Tisted
Grease traps sit between the sinks and the drain, holding back fats, oils and grease. Cooling water lets the grease rise and separate while the water carries on to the drain. Eventually it fills and has to be emptied and cleaned. If you’re dealing with gurgling from the sink waste and a full, neglected grease trap, we can put it right, from inline grease traps, restaurants and takeaways and school and care home kitchens onwards.
For a kitchen in or near West Tisted, the visit is planned ahead, around opening times and the journey, and the deep clean is the same as anywhere: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

What affects the cost of grease trap cleaning
We don’t publish a price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Parking and loading at the site
- The size of the system
- Whether several sites go on one quote
We do not list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll talk you through it.
What we need to know
To speed up the quote, send us:
- The site address and the type of premises
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, photos of the system and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.

West Tisted: your questions answered
Which environmental health team covers West Tisted?
Kitchens in West Tisted are inspected by East Hampshire council’s environmental health officers. Inspection results feed into the food hygiene rating published by the Food Standards Agency.
Do you cover smaller places like West Tisted?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. For many sites, pictures and a few details are enough, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
Which grease traps does the service cover?
We clean under-sink traps, inline traps and interceptors. Let us know what’s fitted and we’ll plan around it.
What do you do with what you remove?
We contain it and take it with us. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on rather than letting it spread.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
We record them on the report, with a note of where it is, and we tell you what would make it reachable, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
Will I get paperwork for my records?
Yes. It’s your proof that the work was done: a written, dated record with photos of what we did and anything we couldn’t access.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, set at the interval the system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
What happens on the day
Everything the job needs comes with us, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. The visit takes an hour or so for an under-sink trap, longer for a larger unit. Visits to a village like West Tisted are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- We find the trap and check how it’s connected.
- The sinks feeding the trap are kept out of use while we work.
- Built-up fat, oil and grease is removed from the trap.
- Every part of the trap is scraped and cleaned, including the baffles.
- We put it back together, run water through and remove the waste.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
Getting a quote
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To get going, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Advice
Keeping the system healthy
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Report slow or smelly sinks early
- Never pour used oil down the sink
- Scrape plates and pans into the bin before washing up
- Fit sink strainers to catch food scraps
Once the trap is cleaned and refitted, the sinks can be used right away. Water is run through to check everything flows before we go.
Fat that escapes the trap hardens in the pipework. Once it’s there, it needs a drainage contractor to clear so prevention is the easier route.
For landlords and multi-site operators
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we will send a fixed quote.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so records stay tidy.

What else we do in West Tisted
Why deal with it now?
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. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.

Do you need grease trap cleaning in West Tisted?
Fats, oils and grease from cooking and washing up go down the sink. They cool and float to the top of the trap, and the layer gets thicker day by day.
Look out for any of the following:
- Grease setting in the kitchen pipework
- Foul odours from the grease trap
- Sinks that drain slowly
- A full, neglected grease trap
Where a church or community hall near Church of St Mary Magdalene, or anywhere in West Tisted, has a kitchen used by volunteers, a periodic deep clean keeps it ready for the next event.
