Grease trap cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Funtley
Think of the grease trap as a filter for the kitchen’s drains. When it’s looked after, you hardly know it’s there but left too long, it causes trouble. Routine cleaning keeps it in good working order. Common call-outs are for a blocked kitchen drain caused by grease and drains that gurgle and bubble, on inline grease traps, school and care home kitchens and kitchen waste pipes.
Work in a small place like Funtley starts with agreeing a date and access.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Don’t store things on top of the trap
- Tell us if your menu or hours change
- Book trap cleans at a set interval
- Do not rely on hot water to clear grease
Scrape plates into the bin before washing up. Use strainers in the sink plugholes before they reach the trap.
A fixed cleaning interval means the trap never gets overfull. We agree the timing with you.
What happens if it’s left?
Pouring hot water or chemicals down a slow drain is a common quick fix. That only moves the grease further down the pipe, where it sets again. Emptying and cleaning the trap deals with the source. Rural sites can’t always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
We do not list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or email us, and we’ll explain what it covers.

What the work involves, part by part
School, care home and staff kitchens
School kitchens can be cleaned in the holidays or after lunch service.
Inline grease traps
An inline trap sits in the pipework between the kitchen and the drain. They hold more than under-sink units but still fill up.

What else we do in Funtley
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and photos, so records stay tidy.
How the visit 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 we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. In a small place like Funtley, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- 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.
- We clean the chambers, baffles and connections.
- Once it’s refitted, water is run through to check it drains, and we take the waste with us.
Preparing for the visit
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Move anything stored near the system
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
How to get a quote
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, photos of the system and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.

Grease trap cleaning around Funtley
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 6 bars, pubs and nightclubs within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Funtley. Wherever they cook, the kitchen and its drains need the same attention as a restaurant’s. Environmental health officers from Fareham council inspect food businesses in Funtley. An inspection covers the structure of the kitchen as well as the food. A record of each deep clean helps show the kitchen is kept in order.
A summer deep clean suits schools such as Orchard Lea Infant School, as the kitchen can be stripped back with no lunches to serve. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Francis or elsewhere in Funtley, a deep clean and an emptied grease trap before a busy season of events are worth booking.

What staff can safely do
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
What we are called out for in Funtley
For a kitchen in Funtley 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 ignored until something goes wrong.
Look out for any of the following:
- A grease trap that hasn’t been emptied in a long time
- Gurgling from the sink waste
- A routine grease trap service
- An inline trap or interceptor due for cleaning
If you run a care home or healthcare kitchen near Funtley (the nearest hospital is Knowle Hospital, about 0.7 miles north), a grease trap on a set schedule avoids a blocked drain mid-service.

Funtley questions
Do you clean school kitchens in Funtley in the summer holidays?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. With about 12 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Funtley, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Send us your term dates when you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we’ll fit the work in.
Do you work in villages like Funtley?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Funtley included. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Why does a grease trap need regular cleaning?
An overfull trap lets grease into the drains. There it hardens on the pipe walls until they block. Regular cleaning prevents it.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line, and we’ll advise on what to do next.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
We record them on the report, with pictures where possible, and we explain what access is needed, for example new access panels.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, depending on what the system needs.
Will cleaning the grease trap fix a blocked drain?
Cleaning the trap deals with the grease it holds and that may solve a slow drain caused by the trap. Blockages further down the drain, or damaged pipework, need a drainage contractor.
Where does the grease from the trap go?
We remove all the waste we take out. It is not poured back down the drain, of course.
