About our grease trap cleaning in Wintershill
We clean grease traps for kitchens in Wintershill, whether it’s an under-sink unit or a larger inline trap. We come when the sinks are not needed so washing up isn’t interrupted. Common call-outs are for washing-up water that won’t drain away and an overdue grease trap, on school and care home kitchens, pot wash sinks and restaurants and takeaways.
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.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

When something else is needed
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- A grease trap that is too small for the kitchen
- Blockages in the public sewer beyond the property
- Leaking pipework or sink wastes, which need a plumber

Wintershill: your questions answered
Will you come out to Wintershill?
Yes. Wintershill is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Do you work overnight in Wintershill?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. That way a site in Wintershill does not have to lose a day’s trading. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work and have been trading since 2009.
How much notice should we give?
Earlier is better, especially for out-of-hours work. We usually quote within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, any time. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line and we will talk you through the next steps.
How regularly does a grease trap need emptying?
The right interval depends on your trap and your cooking. If the sinks start to drain slowly between cleans, it’s too long, and we can shorten it.
Which records should we keep?
Each report and certificate we give you, filed in the maintenance log with your in-house cleaning records. BESA says certificates should show the date, location and technician.
How long will the sinks be out of use?
Typically, it takes an hour or so for an under-sink trap, longer for a larger unit. A large or very full trap takes longer, and we will tell you in advance.
Commercial kitchens in Wintershill
Environmental health officers from Winchester City council inspect food businesses in Wintershill. The state of floors, drains and hard-to-reach corners all feeds into the inspection. A record of each deep clean helps show the kitchen is kept in order.
For schools such as Wyvern Technology College, deep cleans and grease trap work are usually booked for the holidays.

What the work involves, part by part
Inline grease traps
Inline traps often take waste from several sinks or appliances. That means more grease, so regular cleaning matters.
School, care home and staff kitchens
In schools, grease traps can be cleaned when the kitchen is closed or after lunch service.
Common problems we fix in Wintershill
Food scraps go down the sink with the washing-up water. Solids settle at the bottom of the trap and fill it from below.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A blocked kitchen drain caused by grease
- Drains that gurgle and bubble
- A small trap that fills too quickly
- A slow-draining kitchen sink
Healthcare kitchens cook through the year, so a deep clean has to be fitted around meals; Moorgreen Hospital, about 3.9 miles south-west, is the nearest hospital to Wintershill.

For landlords and multi-site operators
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with photos.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Hampshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.

Why deal with it now?
Once the trap is full, grease heads for the drain. It hardens on the pipe walls, until the drain blocks. Regular trap cleaning beats dealing with a blockage. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.

How the visit works
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool before we start, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes less than an hour for many under-sink units. In a small place like Wintershill, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- We locate the trap and check how it’s fitted.
- We make sure nothing drains into the trap.
- We empty out the fat, oil, grease and solids.
- We clean every part of the inside.
- We refit it, run water through and remove the waste.
Before we arrive
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
Getting a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price, before any work starts.

Fixed quotes for grease trap cleaning in Wintershill
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- The times the site is available
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Travel, parking and unloading
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before work begins.
What we need to know
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Any previous report or certificate
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts.
