Isle of Wight · Grease trap cleaning
Grease trap cleaning in Dunsbury, Isle of Wight
For grease trap cleaning in Dunsbury, one call is all it takes: survey, fixed quote, work and sign-off. CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, ISO 9001 and fully insured.
- A grease trap that hasn’t been emptied in a long time
- A bad smell from the sinks or drains
- An inline trap or interceptor due for cleaning
How we handle grease trap cleaning in Dunsbury
Every trap is different. Under-sink units are small and fill quickly, while inline traps and interceptors hold more. We look at the trap, how much the kitchen uses it and how quickly it fills before suggesting how often it needs cleaning. Common call-outs are for a routine grease trap service and a kitchen drain that smells, across kitchen waste pipes, restaurants and takeaways and school and care home kitchens.
Rural kitchens may drain to a septic tank or a private drain rather than straight into a public sewer, so keeping fat out with a working grease trap matters even more.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

What happens if it’s left?
Pests are drawn to grease and food waste. Keeping the trap clean removes something they’re looking for, alongside good kitchen hygiene. A planned visit to Dunsbury is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. 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.

Dunsbury: your questions answered
Do you work at weekends in Dunsbury?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. It means the site in Dunsbury keeps running as normal. Let us know the hours you are closed and we’ll book within them.
Which council inspects kitchens in Dunsbury?
That’s Isle of Wight council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Dunsbury. Inspection results feed into the food hygiene rating published by the Food Standards Agency.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
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.
Where does the grease from the trap go?
We take the grease and solids away with us. You are not left with anything to dispose of after the visit.
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 advise on what to do next.
How regularly does a grease trap need emptying?
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 give me a price for grease trap cleaning?
The price depends on the trap and the schedule. Just ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will quote before any work starts.
How the visit works
We’re used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day.

When to call us in Dunsbury
The more a kitchen cooks and washes up, the quicker the trap fills. A trap that suited a quieter kitchen can struggle when cooking increases.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- A regular cleaning plan for the grease trap
- An interceptor full of grease and solids
- Sinks that drain slowly
- An overdue grease trap
If you cater for weddings or events at a historic house in the area (Mottistone Manor is about 1.2 miles east), deep cleans can be fitted between bookings.
Before booking anyone
- Whether they recommend a next date
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- Whether the price is fixed
- Whether they’re fully insured
Keeping the system healthy
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Make sure the trap can be reached easily
- Let us know if the kitchen gets busier
- Keep waste oil out of the drains
- Use strainers in the sink plugholes
Collect waste cooking oil separately rather than pouring it down the sink, and the trap will stay cleaner for longer. It makes a real difference.
Fat that escapes the trap hardens in the pipework. Once it’s there, it needs a drainage contractor to clear, so it’s far better to keep the trap clean.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
