About our grease trap cleaning in Adgestone
In Adgestone, we time grease trap visits so the sinks are not needed. We empty, clean and check the trap and remove the waste. It works on its own or with a deep clean or extract clean. If you’re dealing with a blocked kitchen drain caused by grease and a small trap that fills too quickly, we can put it right.
In a village or hamlet like Adgestone, commercial kitchens are few, perhaps a pub, a school or a care home. Each still needs the occasional deep clean and its grease trap kept clear.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

How it works
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. Visits to a village like Adgestone are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- First, we find the trap and look at its connections.
- We make sure nothing drains into the trap.
- We empty out the fat, oil, grease and solids.
- We clean every part of the inside.
- The trap is refitted, tested with water and the waste taken away.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms

What we are called out for in Adgestone
If a trap is not emptied, grease passes straight through. It then builds up in the drains and on towards the sewer, where it can cause blockages.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Drains clogged with fat
- A bad smell from the sinks or drains
- An under-sink trap that keeps filling up
- An interceptor full of grease and solids
For schools such as Brading Church of England Controlled Primary School, deep cleans and grease trap work are normally booked for the holidays.
Questions to ask before booking
- What records you will receive afterwards
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
Honest limits
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so here are the limits:
- Blockages in the public sewer beyond the property
- Plumbing leaks around the sink
- A unit that cannot cope with the kitchen’s output
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will say what we think.
What the work covers
- Inline grease traps
- Kitchen waste pipes
- Restaurants and takeaways
- Under-sink grease traps
- Pot wash sinks
- School and care home kitchens
Part by part
Inline grease traps
Several sinks may drain into one inline trap. More waste means faster filling.
School, care home and staff kitchens
Kitchens with fixed mealtimes build up grease more predictably. A regular interval suits them well.
Why deal with it now?
In Adgestone, as anywhere, grease trap cleaning is a short, routine visit. A blocked drain is an emergency and usually at the worst moment. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you are not sure what’s needed, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

Aftercare tips
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Don’t wait for a blockage to book a clean
- Act on gurgling or smelly drains
- Do not store things on top of the trap
- Keep strainers in every sink
Scrape plates into the bin before washing up. Sink strainers help catch solids before they reach the trap.
If the kitchen has got busier, the trap fills faster. Shortening the cleaning interval now stops it overflowing.

What else we do in Adgestone
Commercial kitchens in Adgestone
Food Standards Agency data counts about 18 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 4 takeaways and sandwich shops within about 1.5 miles of central Adgestone. Kitchens like these wash fat, oil and grease down the sink every day, and a grease trap is what stops it reaching the sewer. Food hygiene inspections in Adgestone are the job of Isle of Wight council’s environmental health team. They look at the cleanliness of the whole kitchen: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment. Keeping a record of deep cleans and grease trap visits helps at inspection time.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Arthur Webster Memorial Hospital for Children about 2.7 miles south, deep cleans and grease trap visits are planned so meals still go out. Historic houses such as Morton Manor (about 0.7 miles east) are part of the area around Adgestone, and if you run event catering at a venue like that, a deep clean between seasons helps.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.
Adgestone: your questions answered
Can you come to Adgestone after we close?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The work in Adgestone can fit around your hours. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we will book within them.
Is Adgestone within the area you cover?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Adgestone is covered. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. We fit the work around how the site operates.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so we can schedule a run of sites on one programme. Every site has its own report.
Will cleaning the grease trap fix a blocked drain?
That depends on the cause. If the trap is full, cleaning it often helps but grease set further down the drains needs jetting by a drainage specialist.
Why does a grease trap need regular cleaning?
Grease and food waste build up until the trap stops working. The result is slow drains, foul odours and eventually a blockage.
