- Gurgling from the sink waste
- Drains clogged with fat
- A larger grease trap that needs emptying
Between visits
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Do not wait for a blockage to book a clean
- Let us know if the kitchen gets busier
- Use strainers in the sink plugholes
- Avoid pouring boiling water down to shift grease
We take the grease and solids away. There’s no greasy waste left on site when we are done.
Grease that gets past the trap sets in the drains. Clearing it then is a bigger job, so it’s far better to keep the trap clean.
Grease trap cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Boyatt Wood
A grease trap is the kitchen drain’s first line of protection. Kept clean, it does its job quietly, but neglected, it causes blockages and smells. A regular clean keeps it healthy. The work covers restaurants and takeaways, inline grease traps and school and care home kitchens, and the jobs we see most are an inline trap or interceptor due for cleaning and a grease trap that hasn’t been emptied in a long time.
Work in a smaller place like Boyatt Wood is planned around your opening hours.

FAQs for Boyatt Wood
Which council inspects kitchens in Boyatt Wood?
That is Eastleigh council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Boyatt Wood. How often a business is inspected depends on the council’s risk rating for it, so the kitchen needs to be ready at any time.
Can you come to Boyatt Wood after we close?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. Your customers, staff or residents in Boyatt Wood needn’t be disturbed. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we will book within them.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
The Fire Safety Order 2005 calls them the responsible person: often the employer, owner or occupier. Landlords, facilities managers and managing agents can also hold responsibility.
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 can shorten it.
Are you insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work and have been trading since 2009.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. We always survey first, either from pictures and details you send or on a site visit. Then you get a fixed quote.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
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.
How it works
We turn up at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool before work begins, and the area around the work is covered and protected. The work itself takes an hour or two in most kitchens, depending on the size and condition of the trap. Because the survey comes first, a visit to Boyatt Wood can typically be finished without a second trip.
- First, we locate the grease trap and look at the pipework around it.
- The sinks feeding the trap are kept out of use while we work.
- Built-up fat, oil and grease is removed from the trap.
- Every part of the trap is scraped and cleaned, including the baffles.
- We put it back together, run water through and remove the waste.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
