About our grease trap cleaning in Yateley
Smells from the sink, gurgling drains or slow drainage all point to the grease trap. In Yateley, as everywhere we work, our team empties and cleans the trap, then check the water flows properly. The work covers kitchen waste pipes, pot wash sinks and school and care home kitchens, and people most often call us about washing-up water that won’t drain away and drains that gurgle and bubble.
Kitchens in a town like Yateley often book a deep clean alongside their extract clean, which keeps the disruption to a single night.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

What else we do in Yateley
What staff can safely do
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Honest limits
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- A unit that can’t cope with the kitchen’s output
- Drains that are cracked or have collapsed
- Sewer problems outside the premises
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Yateley kitchens: local notes
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 14 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 9 takeaways in and around Yateley, up to about a mile and a half out. Fat from washing up sets hard in pipes, and kitchens like these produce plenty of it. Environmental health officers from Hart council inspect food businesses in Yateley. Walls, floors, ceilings and equipment are all part of what they look at. Having the dates of the last deep clean to hand saves digging for them on the day.
For schools such as Yateley School, deep cleans and grease trap work are usually booked for the holidays. Pinewood Hospital, about 3.6 miles north-east, is the nearest hospital to Yateley; healthcare kitchens can’t stop cooking, so deep cleans are worked around meal times. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Peter or elsewhere in Yateley, a deep clean and an emptied grease trap before a busy season of events are worth booking.
Yateley is about 4 miles north-west of Farnborough, in Hampshire. We carry out grease trap cleaning for businesses, landlords and public buildings in Yateley and the rest of Hampshire. Yateley is one of 683 towns, villages and districts in Hampshire we cover for grease trap cleaning. We also work in Reading, around 10 miles away.
Work in GU46 is surveyed, quoted and booked the same way as anywhere else. Whether your site is on Hall Lane, Calcott Park and Wistaria Lane or anywhere close by, we can help. Yateley is on the B3272, which makes it straightforward for our technicians to reach for out-of-hours visits. If your site is just outside Yateley, we cover Darby Green (1 mile east), Eversley Cross (1 mile north-west), Little Sandhurst (1 mile north-east), Minley (2 miles south) and Eversley Centre (2 miles west). Within a short drive, we also cover Basingstoke (13 miles south-west), Farnborough (4 miles south-east), Fleet (4 miles south), Aldershot (7 miles south-east), Alton (14 miles south-west) and Tadley (13 miles west).
What’s near Yateley
We work in commercial kitchens and buildings around Dog & Partridge pub, Cranford Park Primary and Ambarrow Court and the streets around them. Yateley’s nearest station is Sandhurst station, roughly 1.3 miles north-east of the centre. Nearby you’ll also find Staff College Museum (3.6 miles east) and Pinewood Hospital (3.6 miles north-east). Green spaces nearby include Horseshoe Lake and Hitches Hill.
Leave it or put it right?
Wherever the kitchen is in Yateley, backed-up drains stop it working. Sinks will not empty, and dirty water can back up. Cleaning the grease trap on time helps prevent it. Dealt with now, it’s a planned visit around your hours rather than a callout when the site needs to be open.
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you’ll get one fixed quote.
What you get with us
- A single point of contact for sites across the South East and London
- A BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease

The process
We’re used to working while the site is closed. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. On site, the work takes an hour or two in most kitchens, depending on the size and condition of the trap. Sites in a town like Yateley rarely need to lose trading hours, as the work fits around them.
- We agree a time when the sinks aren’t needed.
- The trap is opened up and checked.
- Built-up grease and food waste are taken out.
- We clean the baffles, inlet and outlet.
- We close it up, check it drains and suggest when it needs cleaning again.
Before we arrive
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Move anything stored near the system
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down

Advice
Yateley questions
Do you work overnight in Yateley?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Let us know the hours you are closed and we’ll book within them.
Can a school kitchen in Yateley be done out of term time?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. There are about 7 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Yateley. Just ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with your term dates and we will plan around them.
Where does the waste go?
We contain it and take it with us. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go, so it doesn’t spread.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a single café to a large school. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line, for problems that can’t wait. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
Will I get paperwork for my records?
Yes. You get a written report with pictures after every visit, covering the work, any areas we couldn’t access and the recommended next date. Kitchen extract cleans to TR19® Grease also get a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. The law sets the duty, and TR19® is the recognised benchmark for meeting it. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person has to manage fire risk, and without records, many insurers may refuse or reduce a claim.
What affects the cost of grease trap cleaning
The survey tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- How big the system is
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. You will have a fixed price before any work starts.
What to send for a quote
To speed up the quote, send us:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- A few general shots of the system
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few pictures and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
