About our grease trap cleaning in Winchfield Hurst
No two traps are quite the same. Under-sink traps are compact and need frequent attention and larger traps hold more grease before they fill. We assess the trap and how fast it fills and suggest an interval that suits. If you have a larger grease trap that needs emptying and scheduled grease trap emptying, we can help, from kitchen waste pipes, under-sink grease traps and school and care home kitchens onwards.
Rural kitchens may drain to a septic tank or a private drain rather than straight into a public sewer, and fat getting past a grease trap can cause real trouble there.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with pictures, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

What grease trap cleaning looks like in Winchfield Hurst
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 3 restaurants, cafés and works canteens in and around Winchfield Hurst, up to about a mile and a half out. Wherever they wash pans and plates, fat heads for the drain unless a trap catches it. In Winchfield Hurst, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Hart council. An inspection covers the structure of the kitchen as well as the food. A record of each deep clean helps show the kitchen is kept in order.
School kitchens, at schools like Dogmersfield Church of England Primary School for example, usually have their deep cleans and grease trap work done while the canteen is closed. For a café close to Winchfield station, a deep clean can be done between closing and the morning rush.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
Signs you need grease trap cleaning in Winchfield Hurst

Clients usually contact us after spotting one of these:
- A full, neglected grease trap
- Foul odours from the grease trap
- Gurgling drains in the kitchen
- A larger grease trap that needs emptying
Healthcare kitchens cook through the year, so a deep clean has to be fitted around meals; Fleet Community Hospital, about 1.7 miles east, is the nearest hospital to Winchfield Hurst.

How we price grease trap cleaning
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- How big the system is
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- The times the site is available
- The condition we find in the survey
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we’ll price it together.
What to send for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Any previous report or certificate
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price, before work begins.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.
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.
Keeping the system healthy
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Wipe grease off pans before washing them
- Keep the grease trap on a regular cleaning schedule
- Keep waste oil out of the drains
- Mention any increase in cooking
You’ll get our view on how often the trap needs cleaning. That depends on how quickly it filled and how much the kitchen cooks.
A fixed cleaning interval means the trap never gets overfull. We agree the timing with you.
How the job changes from site to site
School, care home and staff kitchens
Drains in care settings need to keep flowing. We fit visits around mealtimes.
Inline grease traps
Several sinks may drain into one inline trap. That means more grease, so regular cleaning matters.
The process
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Winchfield Hurst and turn up when the site is quiet.
- We start by finding the trap and checking its inlet and outlet.
- We ask for the sinks that drain into the trap not to be used.
- The trap is emptied of grease and food waste.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
How to get a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: 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.
