What grease trap cleaning looks like in Emsworth
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 12 pubs and bars and about 5 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses in Emsworth and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Where they run a kitchen, it needs the same deep cleaning and grease trap care as any restaurant. Kitchens in Emsworth get their food hygiene inspections from Havant council. The state of floors, drains and hard-to-reach corners all feeds into the inspection. Having the dates of the last deep clean to hand saves digging for them on the day.
If you serve passing trade near Emsworth station, a grease trap on a regular schedule keeps the drains running through busy weeks. Where a church or community hall near Church of St James, or anywhere in Emsworth, has a kitchen used by volunteers, a periodic deep clean keeps it ready for the next event.

Grease trap cleaning in Emsworth
Grease is behind most blocked kitchen drains. Further on, grease can build into fatbergs in the sewer. A grease trap that’s emptied and cleaned regularly holds them back. Common call-outs are for a small trap that fills too quickly and sinks that drain slowly, on kitchen waste pipes, restaurants and takeaways and school and care home kitchens.
In a place like Emsworth, kitchens often sit in older buildings with older drains. A blocked drain or a smelly grease trap is typically the first sign.
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.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and photos, so records stay tidy.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We are happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
Why act early in Emsworth
Smells from a neglected trap are hard to ignore. Rotting food and grease give off foul odours that can reach the kitchen and beyond. Cleaning it removes the cause. Systems on quieter sites still build up dirt and wear, just more slowly.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before we start.
Why us?
- We’re fully insured
- Fixed quotes, usually within one working day
- Ventilation hygiene specialists since 2009
- One contact for all your sites in London and the South East

Common problems we fix in Emsworth
For a kitchen in Emsworth or anywhere else, the trap is out of sight and out of mind. Tucked away under the sink or below the floor it’s often left until there’s a problem.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- A larger grease trap that needs emptying
- Drains clogged with fat
- A grease trap that hasn’t been emptied in a long time
- Washing-up water that will not drain away
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Havant War Memorial Hospital (about 2.2 miles west), cook for long hours, so deep cleans and grease trap work are planned around patients’ meals.
What your quote should include
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- What hours they’ll be on site
- What paperwork you get at the end

Keeping the system healthy
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Never pour used oil down the sink
- Use strainers in the sink plugholes
- Keep the grease trap on a regular cleaning schedule
- Hot water only moves grease further down
Keep used oil out of the drains, and the trap will stay cleaner for longer. It’s the single easiest way to help.
Fat that escapes the trap hardens in the pipework. Once it’s there, it needs a drainage contractor to clear so prevention is the easier route.
The process
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and the same goes into the written report. The visit takes a short visit for a small trap and longer for an inline unit or interceptor. Everything the job in Emsworth needs is worked out beforehand, from the survey.
- We agree a time when the sinks are not needed.
- We open the trap and look at its condition.
- Built-up grease and food waste are taken out.
- The inside, baffles and outlet are cleaned.
- We close it up, check it drains and suggest when it needs cleaning again.
How to prepare
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Let us know about parking and loading

Advice
What your team can do, and what needs us
If your staff spot something 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 give you a fixed quote.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
What affects the cost of grease trap cleaning
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:

- The scale of the work
- How many systems or sites are involved
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You’ll have a fixed price before any work starts.

Do you clean school kitchens in Emsworth in the summer holidays?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. Food Standards Agency records list about 4 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Emsworth. Tell us your holiday dates and we will book the visit for when the site is empty.
Do you work with multi-site operators?

How much notice should we give?
Earlier is better, especially for out-of-hours work. Quotes usually come back within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.

Do you offer emergency callouts?

What’s TR19?
A BESA specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It isn’t legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
Do the sinks have to be out of use during the clean?
The sinks that drain into the trap can’t be used while it’s open. We book the visit around your service so the kitchen is not held up.
