Grease trap cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Wrecclesham
A clean trap means flowing drains and no foul smells. The fat, oil, grease and solids are taken out and the chambers and baffles cleaned and the trap checked before we leave. The work covers pot wash sinks, restaurants and takeaways and under-sink grease traps, and people most often call us about an under-sink unit that needs regular emptying and a full, neglected grease trap.
Around a place like Wrecclesham, deep clean work tends to mean pubs, cafés and school or care home kitchens. A smaller kitchen still builds up grease where everyday cleaning doesn’t reach.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

How the visit works
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the photos you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, the work takes an hour or so for an under-sink trap, longer for a larger unit. In a smaller place like Wrecclesham, parking is rarely the issue, but tell us about gates, roof access and opening hours.
- A visit is booked around your service.
- We open the trap and look at its condition.
- Built-up grease and food waste are taken out.
- We clean the baffles, inlet and outlet.
- The trap is closed, tested and the next clean discussed.
Preparing for the visit
- Move anything stored near the system
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that’s where we come in.
Why act early in Wrecclesham
Smells from a neglected trap are hard to ignore. Rotting food and grease give off foul odours and the smell carries. A clean trap takes the source away. A site near Wrecclesham that has to close at short notice is hard to cover for.
We do not list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we will talk you through it.

What grease trap cleaning looks like in Wrecclesham
The Food Standards Agency lists about 11 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 3 hotels and guest houses as registered food businesses across Wrecclesham and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Wherever food is prepared there, a periodic deep clean and a clear grease trap keep things in order. Environmental health officers from Waverley council inspect food businesses in Wrecclesham. An inspection covers the structure of the kitchen as well as the food. A cleaning log that includes deep cleans and grease trap visits shows the work is planned.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St Peter's Church or elsewhere in Wrecclesham, a deep clean and an emptied grease trap before a busy season of events are worth booking. Historic houses such as Farnham Castle (about 1.6 miles north-east) are part of the area around Wrecclesham, and if you run event catering at a venue like that, a deep clean between seasons helps. For schools such as St Peter's CofE Primary School, deep cleans and grease trap work are usually booked for the holidays.

What affects the cost of grease trap cleaning
The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Travel, parking and unloading
- What state the system is in
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re not sure what’s needed, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email for straight advice and a fixed quote.
What we need to know
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- A few general shots of the system
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, a few pictures and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.

What grease trap cleaning can’t fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Grease deep in the drains, which needs jetting by a drainage contractor
- A leaking sink waste or trap connection
- Blockages in the public sewer beyond the property
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will say what we think.
Parts of the system we cover
- Pot wash sinks
- Under-sink grease traps
- Inline grease traps
- Kitchen waste pipes

FAQs for Wrecclesham
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Wrecclesham?
Food hygiene inspections in Wrecclesham are carried out by Waverley council. Inspection results feed into the food hygiene rating published by the Food Standards Agency.
Can a school kitchen in Wrecclesham be done out of term time?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. With about 6 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Wrecclesham, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Tell us your holiday dates and we’ll book the visit for when the site is empty.
How far ahead should we book?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
How often should a grease trap be cleaned?
It varies with the trap and the kitchen. If the sinks start to drain slowly between cleans, it’s too long and we’ll adjust the schedule.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line and we’ll talk you through the next steps.
Will I get paperwork for my records?
Yes. You get a written report with pictures after each visit, showing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, there’s also a certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
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.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. We always survey first, from your pictures and details, or with a visit where necessary. Then you get a fixed quote.
Aftercare tips
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Fit sink strainers to catch food scraps
- Don’t wait for a blockage to book a clean
- Collect waste cooking oil separately
- Hot water only moves grease further down
You’ll get our view on how often the trap needs cleaning. That depends on how quickly it filled and how busy the kitchen is.
An overfull trap lets grease pass. Cleaning it before it’s full keeps grease out of the drains and saves a call-out for a blocked drain.
